hi everyone. I haven't been on here in such a long time due to my Internet acting up. I do apologise to anyone who has messaged me and I haven't replied. So I managed to avoid the dreaded covid for 2 years untill last wedesdaay when I tested positive. my 7 year old and my 9 month old were also sick aswwell as their dad. I was terrified to see that positive result. n terrified for my children.. isolated for 7 days and now out today. I think we are getting there but I an terrified of long covid, people developing serious health problems from it. also last night out of the blue I developed a sore itchy skin on my face. almost like my skin is being pulled it feels so tight. a bit swollen. went to my doctor who wanted to look. he said covid can cause these rashes but it might not be covid. he gave me antihistamines and a steroid cream. it really panicked cz my face also felt a bit numb. I'm just so scared I don't know what to do. it's so scary. I don't like the feeling on my face. I need some reassurance about long covid and this rash. if anyone has any ideas or tips?? I'm I'm scared..I was always scared of covid and now that I've got its like I'm in a constant state of panic. pls help. when I had this Las week my temperature was high. body aches. weakness dizziness feeling faint. shivering. now I'm shaking with anxiety. pls help 🙏😢

    when did you go to the doctor and start using the antihistamine and steroid cream? Give it some time to work. remember, some of your symptoms can be due to anxiety so do your best to relax your self. My brother had a weird rash after Covid also but eventually it went away.

    your body is still trying to recover from Covid so it could take a little bit of time. It takes a while to get out of your system even if you start to feel better. Stay hydrated with water and get lots of rest.

    Panicking is just going to make things worse and it’s not going to help in anyway.my best guess is that it is from Covid because it’s ironic that you got this rash. So take one day at a time and try to relax. everything is going to work out. ❤
