covid - frightened

Hi All

I have been away from the group for a while, just getting on with life.
I have tested positive for covid this morning and gone into a bit of a panic.

My daughter was ill all last week and we thought it could be covid but did not test.

But last night I tested and this morning and its saying positive.
I have only just had my flu jab on Saturday.

Anybody been ok with covid and MS?

Morning TeddyBear1, I had covid in 2022 and was given the antivirals. I was absolutely fine, I’m not sure if the guidelines have changed regarding the antivirals but it might be worth checking with your GP/medical team.
Much love
Maryx

I got it… after three and a half years of doing everything possible to avoid it and having all the vaccinations! It was just like having the flu, and I don’t deny that I felt absolutely rotten for about three days. But staying in bed with my go-to remedy - Lemsip with an added shot of whiskey - sorted it.

I am not sure to get the antivirals or not. I have had covid before and I felt fine. But I know every case is different.

Hello @TeddyBear1
I caught covid twice within a year this year, I took the paxlovid antiviral once last August, I think you will recover still with or without.

I just had my covid + flu jabs last week, sixth time now, also caught actual covid + flu just as many times.
Get well soon,

I had Covid in 2022, started with a bad headache, temperature, aching and got quite wheezy (asthma); was in bed for a couple of days, then it started to improve - took about 5 weeks to really get over it, but most of that time it was just a case of getting tired faster than usual. It did aggravate my usual symptoms a bit, but then a normal cold, ear infection or UTI will do that.

thank you all.

Still feeling very tired and have a cough and runny nose but still able to do I little work from home

Hi I have recently had Covid (second time) and I took antivirals. To obtain these drugs you need to ring 111 and explain that you have MS. Sue x

Sorry to hear you’ve picked it up again…. I had it about four years ago and was mildly under the weather for a day then it cleared up. I took some paracetamol for a couple of days just in case. I am fully vaccinated though, hopefully that helped.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you all for your comments.

All well, really just a head cold with the covid and a bit tired.
