    I tested positive for Covid this morning. Quite a shock, my first time.

    I've had a very sore throat for 3-4 days and sinuses draining and I have noticed I feel really tired when walking.

    I hope my lungs will hold up in a weeks time.

    My daughter managed to get a COVID shot 3 weeks ago.
    She had no letter, but managed to do an online booking


    Nurse raised an eyebrow when she said she had ME , but gave the shot.

    We were the only people masking in the hospital clinic dealing with this .
    Nurse donned a mask when we entered side room for innoculation .

    Tireder and sorer than " normal", poorer sleep and recurrence of ringworm, which may be consequential. There's been a suggestion that fungal infections are particularly opportunistic after COVID .

    I had my flu and Covid vaccines a couple of weeks ago. I am on my GP's list for elderly housebound home vaccinations. I managed to get my daughter on the list for the first couple of years of the pandemic, but if she wants it now we'll have to start the fight for it all over again. It's so exhausting having to argue for everything.

    I had my flu vacc about 2 weeks ago. I asked if the district nurse could call but was told 'no'. I made an appointment at the surgery but failed to keep it having had a fall at home.
    I really wanted the flu vacc and it is very hard to get an appointment at the GPs so I paid £25 to my old GP. He has a private clinic and it was wonderful to be seen easily in pleasant surroundings and we also talked about some of my long term conditions. No reaction to the vaccine and very glad to have had it.

    Mr B had his flu vaccine at the surgery and they gave him the RSV at the same time. It wasn't his intention to take it but he didn't formally refuse. He has never had a problem with vaccines but did this time.

    And to have to keep doing it for the same issue, again and again and again....
