Dublin footballer Siobhán Killeen is back at work after spending two weeks in self-isolation with Covid-19.
The midfielder, who works as a radiographer, has been explaning how the virus took it's toll on her.
"It hit me very quickly," she said. "I was working all weekend and training all weekend and I came in on Sunday evening and was sitting on the couch and I just became really hot.
"I was sweating and then I had a headache. Then it hit me that there's the potential I might be sick and isn’t just the heat in the house.
"I went up to my room and all night I was really sick, my body started to really hurt then. I had really bad back pain all through the night that kept me up.
"The next morning I rang into work sick and it was sorted from there that I would have to get a test just because I work in a hospital. If I was positive, then the contract tracing wouldn’t just be who I see in my private life."
Siobhán says she experienced a strange guilt when it was confirmed that she had Covid-19.
"There was a guilty feeling I got when I first diagnosed and I can't quite explain it," she explained. "I know a few of my colleagues felt the same.
"I was never too worried about myself, just this really weird guilty feeling that I'm now a risk to people or I have been a risk to people and each day I thought of my parents but thankfully they’ve never been symptomatic.
"I'm over it now and back to normal life."
