The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

If you don't mind, would you take the time to read the following.
As I have said, we are 99% certain we had Covid January-February and are suffering from Long Covid.
There are various forums but nearly all the symptoms apply to us.
One symptom is feeling drunk as in suddenly losing balance and staggering.
You may recall my 'off' in April (bad cut to shin).........well that was what happened. I was turning when I simply fell. Couldn't even put my hand out, just down like a sack of spuds.
Blood test says no.
Doctor says no
Covid forums say yes and that many people remain untreated as its not widely recognised.
This is not a moan as it is what it is. I hope you find it interesting.

There were a lot of people ill November, December, January time with symptoms that weren't the usual man flu, cough or cold, a lot of people recon it was Covid.

Isn't it great how this thread flips between seriousness and utter drivel, yet never descends into personal animosity.

Myself and MrsP had all the symptoms in December and January, as did quite a few other people we know.
We are convinced that we had it.

It is also a symptom of old age but when that kicks I would not know. I certainly have suffered from something similar since well before covid hence a move to a trike.

Bit like Meniere's disease possibly?

I remember us having a paraffin heater in the kitchen when I was really young.
