I am now on day 6 of Covid. Symptoms of dizziness, aching etc seem to be tapering off. I cough a lot in the mornings, but it’s not persistent, and am breathing fine this evening. Total loss of sense of smell.

I was talking to a colleague on the phone the other day and she said the fatigue is terrible, but she absolutely hates the loss of taste. She is finding that more upsetting than anything.
@Catkins, yes loss of smell, and taste one of the worst bits. I have a giant cupboard full of spices I have collected, and cannot taste any of them. I tried some, and they may as well be powdered cardboard.
@Lenco. It might no longer be applicable in England (I don’t know.) However, I think it would still be wise to follow.
I am posting this ‘post-covid’ to try and help others suffering anxiety from COVID. I am now outwith my quarantine period (day 12 I believe.)
My sense of smell is returning, my cough is disappearing, though the cough was quite mild in the first place. I’ve still got some slight sinusitis, but to be honest I had far worse sinusitis years ago, and this symptom is now fading also.
I was very worried indeed when I got the first positive test results, which began to fade around day 7.
Why have I apparently got off lightly, I cannot say. However, on saying this, I would under no circumstance underestimate this virus.

Goodness I had to literally check the username above that post to make sure this wasn't something I wrote and then forgot about it
I lost my mum in summer 2020 and recently have been having a lot of covid scares but I really don't know if I've caught it or not ever because I don't do the tests. I just monitor any suspected symptoms and take my temperature and that's about it really. I haven't had any obvious covid/cold/flu spells since 2017.
I knew taking tests would just scare me though, tbh >.<
I live an isolated life these days too although to be honest with covid about I have no issues with it!
I'm glad to hear you seem to have pulled through it fine
I hope things have improved a bit. I know losing a parent can be just awful and make life feel really quite different afterwards.
I wish you all the best and at least if we're isolated our odds of catching covid on repeat (with or without vaccines) are lower!
