Oddly I feel far better today - having spent the night with an unpleasant and heavy fever and some rather crazy dreams. I suspect that this is down to doing nothing more than sitting on the sofa But cough / aching is still there and still feel run down and tired - so I’m sure I’ve benefitted from not working today. |

Good news Scribbs! Yes I think rest is key, Fields. |

Day 2 test has a much thicker red line which appeared almost immediately. Day 1 was a thin red line which took a while to come through. Despite this I actually feel a lot better in myself. I presume this is the impact of the vaccine (treatment wise I’ve just been resting and taking paracetamol) as my body is starting to fight the virus. |

Good to hear you're feeling better Fields. I agree with LD - rest is key. |

Had negative lft last weekend (after a positive lft) on 30th but tested positive again this morning as had a runny nose last night (and was meant to be going and staying with friends). Is it potentially residual virus?

Sounds unlikely. But catching it twice in two weeks is also quite unlikely

Middle one a false negative is probably the most likely scenario I'd have thought.

Grast_girl - that's what I was starting to think but it's now 12 days after my first positive lft (and that's counting that day as day 0).

How long can you test positive for Covid? Most people will stop testing positive within 10 days of starting to experience symptoms, or receiving their first positive test. However, it is possible to continue testing positive for weeks or even months after having the virus. The good news is that even if you are continuing to test positive after a long time, it is highly unlikely you are actually contagious. The Gavi Vaccine Alliance explains: “The time taken to test negative after contracting Covid-19 depends on the severity of the case, and also on the test itself. PCR tests that hunt out parts of viral genetic material (RNA in the case of Covid-19) in our bodies and amplify it so we can detect it are extremely sensitive and can even pick up the presence of few viral fragments. This is because fragments of viral RNA can remain in our bodies long after the infection is over and the virus has been cleared from our system.” In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland everyone can leave self-isolation after 10 days, even if you are still testing positive. The only exception is if you are still feeling strong symptoms, in which case you should continue to isolate until you feel better. A cough and shortness of breath do not count as strong symptoms in this case, as they can linger for a while after you have largely recovered. People in England are no longer legally required to isolate, but it is still recommended you do. inews.co.uk |
