thedailymirror--2020-03-24--Man's diary lays bare exactly what it's like to have coronavirus Covid-19

A British man has given an insight into what it 's like to have coronavirus for 10 days .
The man , from Glasgow , fell ill after his wife came home from a holiday to Dubai on Saturday March 14 , suffering with symptoms of the virus .
He did n't want to be named , but the 46-year-old reveals in a diary on how he has coped with the disease and what symptoms he has experienced .
Although the couple have not been tested , doctors said it 's likely they have it and have ordered them to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GlasgowLive .
My wife flew home on a long-haul flight through one of the world 's busiest airports , so the possibility of exposure had of course crossed my mind .
She came off the flight feeling okay but REALLY hot .
She insisted she felt fine and the flight had just been really warm , and that everyone had said so .
She seemed to cool down by the time we got home so thought she was okay .
Two days later , M woke up with `` really painful , aching @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he was told to work from home by his boss .
A couple of hours later , his condition worsened .
I was feeling like flu coming on , headachey , feeling really hot or having bad chills , the muscle pain spreading up round neck and shoulders and really bad on chest .
I checked my temperature a few times and each time it came up normal .
I also could n't really smell or taste anything . ''
After calling NHS 24 and checking their advice online , his symptoms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ online .
He said : `` My symptoms did n't match the two criteria for coronavirus .
I did n't have a continuous fever or cough .
There was an overwhelming feeling of confusion .
`` There was no advice on any way to get tested and find out , just to isolate .
It felt surreal and made us question whether we were overreacting , and also feel a little lost .
`` We 'd heard so much about how serious this could be , yet now we MAY have it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advice or support , the advice was isolation and ultimately to go to hospital if we had issues breathing .
Obviously we did n't even consider that . ''
He added : `` By that night – 48 hours from exposure - I was exhausted , but every time I fell asleep I woke up after 10 or 15 minutes , having crazy feverish dreams and feeling fuzzy as if I 'd been asleep for days .
This went on all night .
The muscle pains were getting worse and worse . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ hours in that he was convinced he and his wife were suffering from coronavirus .
He struggled to sleep through the agony of `` severe muscle pain '' , leg cramps and felt extremely feverish and lethargic .
`` I was so weak , moving at all seemed impossible .
I was burning hot then freezing cold , then both at once .
`` I had the most insane thirst , no matter how much I drank it felt like it had no effect .
My skin felt really tender and sensitive and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and I had a deep , sharp stomach ache not really like anything I 'd felt before .
Eating was out of the question , just unthinkable .
`` The overall weakness was probably the scariest part .
The hardest to cope with was the intense , constant muscle pain .
This was like nothing I 'd experienced before .
`` You know when you get a cramp in your leg ?
That agonising pain , but rather than a brief sharp spike there all the time .
All over . ''
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the mend throughout each day - only for his condition to worsen later .
`` There would be a little lull at some point where you 'd feel like it was going away , then bang , back it came but worse .
`` Tuesday evening was the first time I registered a high temperature - 39.1 .
Again to be clear , this was the first time I took a reading which confirmed a fever . ''
On day five since he was exposed , M recalls Wednesday being `` very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of broken sleep .
`` I would fall into a deep sleep which was very hard to wake from .
Once I 'm awake , I usually ca n't fall asleep again but I was passing out for hours through the day .
I 've never felt tiredness like this . ''
`` Battling to wake up and being pulled back under into a weird deep sleep that felt like unconsciousness somehow.
`` He added : `` I was still feeling crap but definitely a little better than the hell of Tuesday so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` A good thing was seeing a thread on Twitter with a Corona sufferer , Jamie East , tweeting his symptoms , which were very similar to mine , so it was reassuring to hear someone going through something similar rather than the standard cough/temperature official line .

His brief respite did n't last long , however .
His symptoms worsened to the degree he `` seriously considered '' going to hospital .
`` Thursday was even worse than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I woke up with really intense pain on the left side of my chest , which switched to the right then back and forth over a few hours , before settling across my whole chest .

I was trying to fill my lungs , but they would fill so much , then it was just like I was inhaling but no air was coming in , and the chest pain would intensify .
`` I still felt like I did n't want to over-react , so I said if it got worse on Friday I 'd go to hospital .
I also felt confused and forgetful at times but only really realised this the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improved again on Saturday , and he found it was easier to breathe despite suffering chest pain .
`` I was having more spells of feeling a little better , then slumping again after waking late afternoon .
The weakness and tiredness were still really bad.

`` Yes , my chest was tight and I could n't fill my lungs completely , but I did n't feel like I was having difficulties serious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really seriously ill might need .

A full week has now passed since the onset of M 's symptoms .
His chest pain was as bad as it was on Thursday and he struggled to wake up as late as 5pm .
He felt Paracetamol was losing its effectiveness as the chest pain was now localised .
M decided to phone NHS 24 to arrange a hospital appointment .
After an hour on hold , he was asked a series of questions about his condition .

M @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back as it was likely he had coronavirus .
The next step was deciding whether he could remain at home or whether he would need to be hospitalised .
Half an hour later , he received a phone call from a doctor , who questioned him further before telling him it was likely his symptoms were due to the virus .

He and his wife also thanked his neighbours and friends for their messages of support and for delivering food and medicine during their self-isolation .
`` It 's been incredible .
Just feeling like you 're not cut off from the world and knowing people have your back is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imagine - so check up on your pals .
Online or by text I mean - because STAY THE F*** HOME . ''

M* has revealed how he is coping with the deadly bug, 10 days after his wife returned from Dubai with symptoms, and explains why it's important to stay inside
Coronavirus: Man's diary lays bare exactly what it's like to have Covid-19
A British man has given an insight into what it's like to have coronavirus for 10 days.
The man, from Glasgow, fell ill after his wife came home from a holiday to Dubai on Saturday March 14, suffering with symptoms of the virus.
He didn't want to be named, but the 46-year-old reveals in a diary on how he has coped with the disease and what symptoms he has experienced.
Although the couple have not been tested, doctors said it's likely they have it and have ordered them to self-isolate.
This is what M* told GlasgowLive.
Day 1: Saturday

My wife flew home on a long-haul flight through one of the world's busiest airports, so the possibility of exposure had of course crossed my mind.
She came off the flight feeling okay but REALLY hot. She insisted she felt fine and the flight had just been really warm, and that everyone had said so.
She seemed to cool down by the time we got home so thought she was okay.
Day 3: Monday
Two days later, M woke up with "really painful, aching" muscles, a very sore throat and he was told to work from home by his boss. A couple of hours later, his condition worsened.
I was feeling like flu coming on, headachey, feeling really hot or having bad chills, the muscle pain spreading up round neck and shoulders and really bad on chest. I checked my temperature a few times and each time it came up normal. I also couldn't really smell or taste anything."
After calling NHS 24 and checking their advice online, his symptoms were not consistent with the ones outlined online.
He said: "My symptoms didn't match the two criteria for coronavirus. I didn't have a continuous fever or cough. There was an overwhelming feeling of confusion.
What are the symptoms of coronavirus? The most common symptoms of the coronavirus are: a dry, persistent cough
a fever If you experience these symptoms, you should immediately self-isolate yourself for seven days. It is not necessary to call NHS 111 unless your symptoms get more severe. Some patients have reported fatigue, headaches, shortness of breath and aches and pains. Sneezing is not a symptom of the coronavirus.
"There was no advice on any way to get tested and find out, just to isolate. It felt surreal and made us question whether we were overreacting, and also feel a little lost.
"We'd heard so much about how serious this could be, yet now we MAY have it, rather than being offered testing and treatment advice or support, the advice was isolation and ultimately to go to hospital if we had issues breathing. Obviously we didn't even consider that."
He added: "By that night – 48 hours from exposure - I was exhausted, but every time I fell asleep I woke up after 10 or 15 minutes, having crazy feverish dreams and feeling fuzzy as if I'd been asleep for days. This went on all night. The muscle pains were getting worse and worse."
Day 4: Tuesday

M said that it was around 60 hours in that he was convinced he and his wife were suffering from coronavirus.
He struggled to sleep through the agony of "severe muscle pain", leg cramps and felt extremely feverish and lethargic.
"I was so weak, moving at all seemed impossible. I was burning hot then freezing cold, then both at once.
"I had the most insane thirst, no matter how much I drank it felt like it had no effect. My skin felt really tender and sensitive and painful to touch, all over, and I had a deep, sharp stomach ache not really like anything I'd felt before. Eating was out of the question, just unthinkable.
"The overall weakness was probably the scariest part. The hardest to cope with was the intense, constant muscle pain. This was like nothing I'd experienced before.
"You know when you get a cramp in your leg? That agonising pain, but rather than a brief sharp spike there all the time. All over."
There were moments when he thought he was on the mend throughout each day - only for his condition to worsen later.
"There would be a little lull at some point where you'd feel like it was going away, then bang, back it came but worse.
"Tuesday evening was the first time I registered a high temperature - 39.1. Again to be clear, this was the first time I took a reading which confirmed a fever."
Day 5: Wednesday
On day five since he was exposed, M recalls Wednesday being "very up and down" after another night of broken sleep.
"I would fall into a deep sleep which was very hard to wake from. Once I'm awake, I usually can't fall asleep again but I was passing out for hours through the day. I've never felt tiredness like this."
"Battling to wake up and being pulled back under into a weird deep sleep that felt like unconsciousness somehow. "
He added: "I was still feeling crap but definitely a little better than the hell of Tuesday so I thought I was over the worst.
"A good thing was seeing a thread on Twitter with a Corona sufferer, Jamie East, tweeting his symptoms, which were very similar to mine, so it was reassuring to hear someone going through something similar rather than the standard cough/temperature official line. Also I was able to eat again, on and off."

Day 9: Sunday
M slept until 4pm on Sunday and he woke up feeling "flat, weak and fluey".

He added: "Then the chest pain intensified, the tight feeling stopping me taking a deep breath came back. My positive feeling drained away and instead of thinking about work I was instead thinking I'd go to hospital if the breathing difficulties got worse overnight."
M admits he still didn't know whether his condition was severe enough to go to hospital.
"Yes, my chest was tight and I couldn't fill my lungs completely, but I didn't feel like I was having difficulties serious enough to take up a space someone really seriously ill might need.
"Based on the increased information about possible coronavirus symptoms and how I felt - and the timing - I am pretty sure this is coronavirus. However I don't know, and I can't find out, which is the really frustrating thing.
"It made me think, 'Do I now have some form of immunity?' Again I don't know because I don't know if this is the virus. If any opportunity for retrospective testing arises I'll be first in the (virtual) line."
Day 10: Monday

A French doctor has posed naked to highlight the lack of protective equipment he claims healthcare workers have been provided with by the government .
The nude snaps of Alain Colombie , who lives in Pomerols in the southern French department of Herault , were posted on social media on 22nd March .
In the images the 61-year-old doctor can be seen completely naked , crossing his legs to cover his dignity .
Dr Colombie is wearing a white armband with the words `` cannon fodder '' written onto it .
He said he wanted to `` push a stunt @ @ @ @ @ @ @ entire family of healthcare workers .
`` I denounce a guilty lack of preparation , even though I 've been communicating about COVID-19 since the end of January . ''
Beneath the photos he wrote : `` President Macron , you are asking your little soldiers to go to the front without weapons or defences ( masks , gel , overshirts ) and of course without consideration . ''
French media reports have stated that Dr Colombie works in an area where four general practitioners are expected to care for 10,000 patients .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ had only sent him 18 masks , which he felt were `` very , very few . ''
When Dr Colombie arrives home each day he undresses completely in his garage before immediately taking a shower .

Elsewhere in France doctors have scrounged masks from construction workers and factory floors .

Alain Colombie, who works as a doctor in Pomerols in the southern French department of Herault, has released a string of racy photos to highlight how he feels battling the coronavirus on the frontlines
A French doctor has posed naked to highlight the lack of protective equipment he claims healthcare workers have been provided with by the government.
The nude snaps of Alain Colombie, who lives in Pomerols in the southern French department of Herault, were posted on social media on 22nd March.
In the images the 61-year-old doctor can be seen completely naked, crossing his legs to cover his dignity.
Dr Colombie is wearing a white armband with the words "cannon fodder" written onto it.
He said he wanted to "push a stunt and come to the defence of the entire family of healthcare workers.
"I denounce a guilty lack of preparation, even though I've been communicating about COVID-19 since the end of January."

Beneath the photos he wrote: "President Macron, you are asking your little soldiers to go to the front without weapons or defences (masks, gel, overshirts) and of course without consideration."
French media reports have stated that Dr Colombie works in an area where four general practitioners are expected to care for 10,000 patients.
He complained that the mayor's office had only sent him 18 masks, which he felt were "very, very few."
When Dr Colombie arrives home each day he undresses completely in his garage before immediately taking a shower.
While he does this, his wife, also a doctor and psychotherapist, washes all the areas he has touched.

Elsewhere in France doctors have scrounged masks from construction workers and factory floors.
Francois Blanchecott, a biologist on the front lines of testing, told France Inter radio: "There's a wild race to get surgical masks.
"We're asking mayors' offices, industries, any enterprises that might have a store of masks."

thedailymirror--2020-03-25--£5m MP boundary changes quietly ditched after four years in vast Tory U-turn

A £5million , long-delayed plan to shake up MPs ' seat boundaries was quietly ditched today in a Tory U-turn .
Plans to cut the number of MPs from 650 to 600 were proposed in 2016 after a previous review had to be abandoned in 2013 .
The idea was also to equalise the number of voters in each seat to ensure representation was far .
But there had been little action since four Boundary Commissions for the four nations reported back in 2018 .
The changes prompted a political bunfight as scores of MPs were pitched into a battle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Labour said the carve-up was a Tory `` power grab '' because it left out a surge of young voters for the EU referendum and 2017 election .
Constitution minister Chloe Smith confirmed the plans to reduce seats to 600 had been dropped in a `` change in policy '' , which was announced only in a written statement to parliament .
She also revealed the government will call for boundary reviews to take place every eight years not every five .
