View Full Version : Faint line in lft, terrified
I posted about my daughter having symptoms and have 7 negative lft’s. I have a pcr booked for myself and my son tomorrow but did a lft today, there is a slight line and now I am absolutely terrified.
Can anyone calm me down?
Well the virus has completely run out of control and there’s a higher chance now more than ever that you might have it. Fortunately, if you do have it, you’re getting the most mild variant we have dealt with so far and you’ve got the very high protection from effective vaccines.
You need to try and calm yourself down.

What are your symptoms so far Rainbow, if any at all?
It's probably odds on that you'll be OK and only have it very mildly.
Also, try not to take today's case numbers at face value as a sizeable proportion of them are attributed to NI playing 5-day catch-up. Also Covid deaths still appear to be at low-ish levels, despite the rapid increases in (Omicron) cases over the past few weeks.
I also reckon that Delta will be pretty much gone by mid-January, the way things seem to be right now.
Honestly Rainbow, I've just had it and I had a sore throat for a couple of days, maybe felt a little grotty, the odd headache and had a cough (which I've still got, but which apparently can carry on for a while). In a normal non-pandemic world I've been to work feeling much worse than I did when I had it.
In all likelihood if your PCR is positive
your symptoms will be mild and you will recover quickly.
I’m more worried about my 14 year old unvaccinated son. I am just so scared

I know how you feel... :( I started to feel cold and a little out of breath, and the thought of something serious immediately came up. The reality however is that we are both relatively young, vaccinated and doing otherwise more or less ok. The stats for us are also looking good! Chin up rainbow, you can neat this!

The Dutch divide in groups of above 60, and below 60. So in our group the statistics are still good. But of course I can understand your concern.
How do you feel btw? What grade would you give your anxiety on a scale from 1 to 10?

Sore head and throat, a bit nauseous at times too. Anxiety is about 8 just now. Have you tested positive?

Glad to hear you don't have any breathing issues. Are you taking any meds? Paracetamol maybe?
I didnt retake the test yet. I am questioning whether I should book it tomorrow or on Saturday.

I have been feeling a little breathless in the last hour or so but I am under huge stress, my 35 year old son has taken an overdose of insulin and is in hospital, he says he wants to die.
What are your symptoms?

I have my 2 youngest children here, my 14 year old son is autistic and extremely close to me, he loves lots of cuddles and tells me many times a day that he loves me so plenty of hugs here for me. How are you?

So sorry to hear this Rainbow.
It's as if many people sadly still seem to consider us Auties to be a hindrance to society and undeserving, especially with the chronic lack of support for us. I certainly often was back when I was your son's age 30 years ago, sometimes even by my own parents, and certainly by staff at school, respite units, etc.
However, my dad certainly regrets a lot of it now, and he (retrospectively) admitted that he was basically pandering to the societal standards of the time, even though he often didn't personally agree with a lot of them.

Have you had a positive test result yet? I keep checking my oxygen levels but it’s causing me more anxiety. I hope you don’t get anymore symptoms. I’m on day 3 now and so scared that I might suddenly get very ill

Then you know the answer. You will KNOW if your oxygenation is low by symptoms and how you feel.
Just got my positive pcr result back today. Still struggling with anxiety quite badly

I did. It's positive.
I decided not to check my oxygen levels exactly for that reason. I would just feel more anxious.
Yesterday was hard, and the night was really bad, but I started to feel better in the morning. The headache is gone and the fever is down to an acceptable 37,5.
I talked to an acquaintance who is a pulmonologist, and he said that vaccinated people pass the infection way, way easier than non vaccinated. In his hospital he doesn't have a single vaccinated person hospitalized due to Covid. You'll be fine rainbow!

Just to let you guys know I'm thinking of you. Though I'm very confident my thoughts will not be needed, albeit easy for me to say.

Glad you’re feeling better than you were. I’m not too bad but have lost my sense of taste and smell which is horrible. How long do you need to isolate for? I’m in Scotland and we have to isolate for 10 days.

I hope that your sense of smell will return soon. Theoretically I need to isolate until at least 7 January but I can leave the house only If I dont have any symptoms for 24 hours. If I still have symptoms I need to wait until they are all gone + 24h.
I was also told that I don't need to take another test because the virus can stay in the hody for up to 8 weeks but without symptoms I will not be a danger to others. Is it the same in Scotland?
