Bananas; custard; rice pudding; dried fruits and nuts to nibble on B4 U R hungry ;-).  Anything that doesn't take much thinking about or effort to prepare.

It does depend on which variation of Covid-19 we run into.  Apparently there are several but as no one is testing, nor do we need to inform any1, how is research going to progress  :-\

Also: as well as the cold in the week prior to testing positive, during the first few days my ear lobes ached.  Where they are pierced  :-\.  I haven't worn ear rings for ages due to the R getting very red so I need to treat both with Savlon and get some studs in.

Same here.  My gut won't tolerate eggs  :( so I miss out on 5 meals that way  :-\.

Toast with Marmite or Bovril in hot water?

A query: is it possible to harbour C-19 for months B4 symptoms appear?

Don't know specifically about covid but defo some virus can lay dormant for a long time before reactivating, eg hpv, Eastern Barr virus, herpes etc. So it wouldn't surprise me. Is that what you think has happened with you and hubby?

Unlikely.  Covid is the same species of virus as cold viruses.  Don't think they lay dormant.

Tnx.


For months I have felt really really tired, my head didn't want to wake up in the morning: until Covid cleared.  I would drop off to sleep mid-afternoon, zonked for a couple of hours as well as sleeping heavily at night.

Now my head is much less sleepy.  I no longer need to drop off in the afternoon.  Apart from dropping olives and VitD from my diet, not much has altered.

Did you have covid before this one? Or another virus that could have caused long term symptoms. What you are describing sounds like long covid to me.

This was our first Covid attack  >:(.  Long Covid is when symptoms of the last infection continues more than 3 months.  Because of the continued need to sleep I began VitD tablets, now that I've stopped those .........  ::)

Maybe you had it asymptomatically before then?

It didn't cross my mind as apart from the sleeping I had no other symptoms.  That's why I began the VitD tablets.  We will probably never know.

Yeah it's odd, the effects the vitd tablets had on you I mean. Well if you ever can't sleep perhaps try vit d at bedtime!
