Anyone else 13 + weeks still with symptoms or symptoms getting better

Hi Tara, I first became unwell on 03.05.20 with a cough long story short I am still unwell. There have been a few hospital visits but never kept in. I had a GN tube inserted near the start to drain a bubble in my stomach caused by a build up of lactic acid. I developed pneumonia and a slightly collapsed lung had 2 courses of antibiotics, one of steroids and to be honest don't feel much further forward. Im still experiencing shortness of breathe, severe headaches, tightness/heaviness on my chest and tiredness like I've never felt before. Doctors keep telling me it's a waiting game and could take 6 weeks...I'm now 8 weeks down the line. I also get the good days/hours like some of you seem to be getting. Most of the time I am able to be out of bed but Im on a chair in the living room not doing much, haven't been out the house except appointments the whole time. During good spells I feel almost back to normal. Yesterday afteenoon I was feeling I could go back to work next week (thats when my sick line is due up) and then last night I was near phoning NHS24 due to my breathing and tightness in my chest being so bad again. It feels like a never ending cycle and am getting concerned I will be left with some long term issues. I don't seem to be getting much support/follow up from doctors unless I contact them about something feel a bit like I'm just left to it because I haven't been hospitalised. My appetite has been fine through out however eating is a hard task, I get very breathless during it and after. I know everyone is learning as we go with this but sometimes I get quite down with just being told it will take time just rest and just being left to it. Im so glad I've found people in similar situations x

hi I have just had a chat with my doctor this morning as have been at a loss. My symptoms started of with a severe headache on 12th March. Next day tight chest temp and cough. Over next two days my eyes hot and painful and taste and smell lost, severe fatigue and pain all over body.

I was coping at home so didn't want to bother nhs24. By day 14 started choking on phlegm so thought probably need advice. Was put through to a covid assessment centre. Doctor said a test would probably come back negative being 14 days from first symptom but I mire than likely had it from symptoms and I now had chest infection. Anti biotics prescribed. Had maybe 5/6 days free of headaches and pains then bam! Headaches started wakening me up through night or early morning and if that doesn't happen guaranteed it arrives by time I have breakfast. I am severely fatigued sometimes cannot keep eyes open and worrying pains around lymph node areas. Doctor has been great I have had blood tests, they came back showing inflammation and this led to CT head scan, chest xray mammograms a breast scans. All came back clear. Do chat this morning was asking to sit tight another month or so as there are some viruses that take 6 moths to leave body. She been generous with pain relief but they not doing much! So looks like it is a waiting game to see how long! At least she listened and ruled other stuff out so it a relief in that way.

Ive been poorly since November/December 2019. My symptoms have been breathlessness, severe fatigue, drowsiness, husky voice since beginning of March. I do have diabetes type 2 and i have an enlarged prostate(benign) after having tests. I didn't think i had coronavirus as i started having the symptoms before anyone had ever heard of Coronavirus. I did dial NHS 111. But with the symptoms starting before Coronavirus was ever talked about. So i had a telephone appointnent with my doctor and my doctor arranged for me to have a chest x-ray at my local hospital along with a blood test from one of the nurses at my doctors surgery. Both the x-ray and my blood test where all clear. Ive had telephone appointments galore this year and i must say ive given up contacting my doctor. For myself ive stopped phoning my doctors surgery as im so disatified with the NHS at this present moment. It's also the same with my local dentists as i needed an urgent appointment with my local dentist as ive got serious gum problems and all the dentist could give me was advice as only serious problems involving anyone in agony with pain. Which could mean that this delay could mean i could lose 3-4 teeth. At the moment i haven't got any confidence in the NHS at this very moment. Im sorry i have to say that. But im afraid that is my personal view.
