[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2319124, member: 25851"] My 53 year old son and I had "a virus" in early March 2020. But "there is no coronavirus on the Island, so it must be something else." I'm sure it wasn't something else. NHS 24 response was to take some paracetemol and have plenty of drinks. Nothing about self isolating. However, we did isolate ourselves. I am T2 and my son had to be shielded due to other health issues. My son was pretty poorly for a couple of weeks but does seem, most of the time to have got over it, although we both had what seemed to me to be a relapse a couple of days ago. It started when we both had a bad cough for about a week. I have had trouble with sore lungs ever since March. Catarrh, nausea, dry throat and skin, muscle pains and joint pains have continued to this day. Both of us are very tired all the time and sleep a lot of the day as well as the night. My BG has been pretty high throughout (oddly, it has dropped the last couple of days) and other health issues seem to have been exacerbated. But we have never been tested either for the virus or for antibodies. Did we have covid 19? Maybe, who knows? Diabetes nurse reckons yes, GP won't express an opinion. How could we have had it? There was "none on the Island", despite 2 people being hospitalised later in March, so they must have got it from somewhere. I think it came to us from the local primary school which my granddaughter attends. She was feverish and nauseous one evening and about 3 days later, we were sick. [/QUOTE]
