RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted January 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2021 Bad luck Rob, so glad it's not been too bad. I was getting 2 tests per week due to working in a hospital & got a positive test on 16th Dec, despite wearing masks, gloves, aprons constantly and gallons of alcohol gel sloshing around. So it really is frightening how it can get around. Only felt like a cold at that time, but then got very tired, no cough thankfully. Isolated until after Christmas, then other half had similar symptoms; then lockdown, so really haven't done much! I will say that I didn't recover from the tiredness for at least 2½ weeks, so you are right to be taking a break. Look after yourself and hope others are ok too. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold slow8dirty Posted January 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2021 All the best for you recovery, sounds like you are thankfully over the worst. As others have said it does seem to affect folks over a wide range of severity but no matter how mild/severe it takes a long time for the fatigue symptoms to do one, with a good day paid for with a bushwacked day. Take it easy, all the best. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Get well soon Rob, my sister is still fatigued weeks after her infection, she's not returned to work as she simply cannot summon the energy. Take all the time you need to recover. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durham light infantry Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Rob, you are in a good place with working for the Police. Take the time, you will get paid. When I got it in May I was supposed to have 8 weeks off, I could only manage 3 because of being on SSP only! Lots of shifts later Long Covid caught up with me a couple of weeks ago, and battered my immune system. Take care, take the time, don't rush back. 2 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted January 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 16, 2021 Recovery back to full health is the only priority now, Rob, together with the health of your family, so do please get well as soon as you can, so that we can enjoy some more of your sheepcredible modelling! I found some of this very helpful in passing lockdown time, by the way - Take the best of care, my friend! 4 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiggoforgold Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 At least it sounds like you are over the worst of it Rob, but stay safe take it easy, and don,t rush the recovery. Modelling may become therapeutic, but there are some times you know you don't even want to start. All the best from Liz and I. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveyDee68 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Just to add my own best wishes for a full - and hopefully speedy - recovery. I know a number of people who have had it - and luckily none severely - but all described the same absolute sapping of all energy and how during recovery a step forward can often be followed by what feels like two steps back, so slow and steady is the order of the day. Those sheep are a patient bunch, and will still be there waiting for you when you are fully better. Steve S 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only those aux fait with social media selfies and making your legs look slimmer and longer. But it's almost a metaphor isn't it - sheep and social media That isn't Bo Peep either, her crook is way too small to catch any sheep with, think it's someone pretending, maybe the sheep aren't real either and have been photoshopped. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisf Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Hi Sheep Bloke! I'm sorry to learn that you have been under the weather. Almost two years ago I picked up a virus in Newe Zealand and had to live with it for two and a half months. I should have let it stop me from going here, there and everywhere like I usually do but I had this crazy idea that being ill is a minor incovenience and kept going when it was most unwise to do so. Should I come to be smitten by Covid I will know better. All the best, Chris 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
