I think, therefore I am, I think ...
Yup, well it finally got me!
I had no idea.
I had my usual blocked sinus nose thing going on - nothing else, just my usual, blocked nose which goes into my ears, and back of my throat which annoys me more at night than though the day. So I thought nothing of it.
I had a bit of a runny nose on the Tuesday night. Nothing like a head cold, or anything to be a warning sign. The next few days just as I said, sinus, congestion. I did my usual sinus irrigation, which is a bizarre feeling at the best of time. Zyrtec pill , Dymista nasal spray. Went to work as usual as there was nothing strange going on ... although, having a bit of a sniffle, I was thoughtful of others around me, in case it was the start of a head cold.
Then one evening, 4 days later, and no symptoms worse, I was using nail polish remover, when I realised I couldn't smell it.
About 5 glasses of wine later, I began trying to smell things in the fridge etc, and couldn't smell anything!
Being a bit gung-ho and happy on the wine, I thought out of interest I'd test myself since we had RAT tests which were just sitting there ... ... and low and behold, I was positive!
I redid the test 3 days later and I was negative. A crazy experience, and just goes to show how many people are out there, untested as they don't think they have anything - let alone the ones who don't test because they don't want to know!
No fever, no chills, no aches or pains, no sore throat, no headache, no cough, apart for post nasal drip cough which I usually have. Maybe a bit tired, then at my age now, I'm often tired. In fact, the symptoms I had after my 5th jab displayed all the symptoms I could have had, bar fever, and thought while testing if I had it, that's how I'd be feeling. But No!
So, it got me, finally! It didn't last long - thankfully.
