XTreme Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I'm convinced that this new Covid variant Kraken is what we've had.....and @Clive has been very ill back there with the exact same symptoms as us. @Sir Fallsalot has also been very ill as well......though I'm not sure what symptoms he had. It has been confirmed as circulating here in Spain and to make matters worse it doesn't seem to be showing up conclusively as Covid on tests.....so nobody can be absolutely sure. But I've had plenty of bouts of normal flu over the years......so I know what that's like. And none of them made me so ill that I had to attend the Urgency Dept like I did this time. Which makes me think it's Kraken! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I too have had (proper) flu in the past and this was nothing like.......was starting to worry that it was something more serious. Over it now...but it took its time in shifting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here! At least when you get a positive Covid test you know where you stand! But when you get a negative and then feel as ill as we've been you start to get a bit worried. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Glad ya feeling better mate) Rich..... I coughed for so long and so hard that my stomach muscles were sore most of the time....even my ribcage hurt..there was very little rest from it......getting some rest was nigh on impossible.....I spent several nights sat in my armchair from 1am till 5am.....only exhaustion got me back to bed.....still coughing.....and a bloody sore throat as well. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeh.....I know exactly what you mean Clive. As I said, I've had flu many times.......I even had Mumps when I was 26. And that can be very serious for adults! But I've never experienced anything like this.......and I've still got a long way to go in terms of recovery. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said I feel almost back to normal (for my age ) I have never been so lacking in get up and go as I have these past weeks.......apart from going to the toilet all I have done is sit in this chair and cough and bark. One day early last week I thought come on shake yourself...get out of the chair and go and do a bit of food shopping...came back absolutely knackered and coughing even worse......back into the chair... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzak Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 It's only the vaxxed that are getting sick, 100% of Covid patients in Australian hospitals are vaxxed, the unvaxxed are healthy as horses, further to that we have this. So as the virus has never been isolated how did they make a vaccine in six months with every pharma company getting the same result, you've been sold a pup. Nevertheless my best wishes to you all.

One of my friends in NZ has had four shots and now he has a very concerning cough which wracks his body, he has never smoked anything in his life, never abused alcohol or taken any recreational drugs, never overweight and now he gets coughing fits that leave him exhausted, however it could be climate change thats the cause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Every time i went out or came back in......cough cough cough. Wife was even worse.......she coughed utill she had to find somewhere to sit down. But (we think) she had Covid in the February that it all started......we were in Cyprus coming home and there was a few on the plane coughing and barking......then she started the next day.....it was early in the Covid pandemic....and our doctor said she had just a chest infection.......but looking back on it we think it was Covid.....she really struggled to get air into her lungs for nearly 2 weeks...she spent all that time sleeping propped up on our sofa...when she could sleep.......if it had been a few weeks or more later I think she would have been in hospital. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes......she definitely had Covid! And you've got so many similarities with what we've had! If you discard the possibility of us having Kraken.......what's the odds on somebody in Southern Spain and somebody in Mansfield (who've never met) having exactly the same flu variant symptoms at the same time? Because elements of what we've had with this we've never had before with previous bouts of flu. Do you know @Slowlycatchymonkey? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
