Still testing positive, I'm ok bar an annoying cough but still testing positive 8 days later. I get tired quickly for no reason, e.g while watching a movie and an hour later I can barely keep my eyes open.
If it's not gone after 10 days I'm ringing the docs. any advice on cp and the Rona? Other than that all is great!

I don't have CP, but I did have coronavirus back in December @wandering_chris. I felt pretty unwell, and still felt fatigued for a short while after. Thankfully, I was pretty much back to normal not long after.
Though it's not specific to CP, the NHS have a website dedicated to recovering from coronavirus, which you might like to take a look at
I'm also wondering whether @Richard_Scope may have some advice on this. -
Hi @wandering_chris
I have quad CP and had Covid back in December. The best advice I can really give is to stay really hydrated and rest as much as you possibly can. The fatigue (although most have a level of that with CP) and the cough were the last to leave me.Scope

I have CP and had covid last month @wandering_chris, it took about 8 days to test positive, but the fatigue and cough stuck around for a few days afterwards.
I definitely felt like my energy levels were lower than usual the week after testing negative again.
Hope you recover soon, as do stay hydrated and rested Keep us in the loop with how you get on, and enjoy the films, however much you see of them! Online Community Coordinator
