My doc was unsure if it was that or start of a chest infection on march 20th,i was quite breathless,tired etc but iam also prone to chest infections, steriods helped, 

Hello, I'm a frontline worker & noticed wheezing on 14th march, so rang doc we both thought it was chest infection, few days I started to get severe headaches & sore throat so self isolated, then got body aching, temp 39.0 .... I am now in my 5th week, symptoms are long gone, & now we think its pneumonia on the chest, they only swabbed me 4th April, results back 8th April saying Covid-positive I have to date had 3 weeks of Co amoxiclav & steroids I have mine own Nebuliser so I'm able to give myself ventalin & saline nebs whenever, last week tried mixing 2 antibiotics Doxycycline & Clarithromycin Doc said hold on steroids, I have just rang them this morning for consultation so am awaiting phone call. But I sound like a 60 aday smoker still! But I am determined that this will not beat me, & I certainly dont want to go into hospital.  13yrs ago I had a Spontaneous coronary artery dissection , it's a miracle I survived this so I'm blowed if I'm gona let covid pneumonia take me .

@JuneEvans Hello JuneEvans, thank you for sharing your story! What a frightening experience, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a bit better and you're ready to fight the infection! What was the symptom that really triggered it for you that it was the coronavirus? Do you have any advice on what others should look for?

Take care,

Courtney

I had Covid symptoms for five days following a severe chest infection and after having co amoxyclav and two courses of doxycycline and three lots of steroids too. After day five felt great then on day eight couldn’t breathe rushed to hospital tested positive for Covid spent two weeks on oxygen then discharged home. I continue to be breathless though 😞

Hi guys hope your all doing ok . Well I had pnumonia end of February ( I suffer from asthma quite badly and copd) this isn’t unusual for me as tend to get it after a cold or similar . However I ended up having three lots of antibiotics and six weeks of steroids . Although I am somewhat better now I am still continually coughing  And have once again been prescribed more antibiotics . I have never felt quite so ill and I am thinking that somewhere in this I have possibly had this virus . Problem is I will never know . I am being shielded now but can’t seem to shift this continual coughing and wheezyness . Anyone else had anything like this 

I've been experiencing symtoms since the 15th of march it's been horrific Everythings a blur really it like I've just woke up this week 

Still trying to keep my tempreture under control got shivery and hot stuff back too yestarday ive now  got thrush in my mouth now and ulcers and really itchy looks like bites of some kind but this happened a few weeks ago too 

The doctor gave me antihistamine and am on the second set of antibiotics now 

I've had paramedic out twice this week I'm on my 2nd lot of steroids and antibiotics chest and fatigue and headache my only symptoms I've ordered a nebuliser should be herein couple of days just hope the Meds do trick this time it's exhausting struggling to breath 

@Shaun1999 hi marie how are you doing now hope you are feeling a little better 🌈
