4 weeks on and still having new symptoms

Posted , 2 users are following.

ninth of May I had a slight fever around my shoulder blades radiating up to my neck for a couple of days I didn’t think any more of it and went to out walking Around the cliffs in the moors near where I live.

literally a week later I was in bed with severe fever tastebuds completely gone because I live on the Isle of Wight I sent off for a test which came back negative. I found my GP querying my fever to be told by GP that 30% all the tests from his patients had come back negative and had to be run redone again. I sent off another test which came back void. following week I felt really well full of energy went walking along the cliffs tastebuds came back sadly four days later the fever started up again on different parts of my body really bad burning sensation on my feet around my shoulder blades cross my stomach and has caused upset.

I was really surprised that the fever had come back so I sent off another test which came back negative again I phoned my GP to say that I had concerns if this wasn’t COVID-19 there must be something wrong with me my kind GP for me they were for such things as fevers before COVID-19 and to continue taking paracetamol every day I’m 65 and it’s my birthday next Wednesday I do have heart disease and I am slightly overweight and suffer from asthma apart from the fever I’ve had muscle pain on my legs mainly around the shins and headaches. very difficult to gauge COVID-19 as the doctors don’t know much about it nor do I it is strange how some days I feel quite well and then the fever just kicks in and I have to go to bed I’m surprised I hear that some people are given antibiotics my GP has categorically said this is a virus antibiotics will not work thankfully the paracetamol are keeping things at bay I haven’t got a thermometer so I I don’t know what my temperature is quite often I have to have a water bottle and now I feel I meant on fire inside my body I’m quite cool on the outside.

    This is nothing new I'm afraid. The medical community is just now picking up on these "long tail" cases with frequent relapses.
