Ds8 and myself feeling really poorly, what is it and what to do?

Ds feels very dizzy and 'all over the place'. I feel the same, like when you've drink too much (when I was much younger 😬) and you have to lie in bed propped up with the light on. We are both unsteady on our feet, and my body feels tingly and like sort of pins and needles. I haven't checked our temp but we seem ok, I'll get DH to do it in a minute. Any ideas what it could be? (I've felt like this on an off for a week or so, but ds is now feeling so poorly he can't go to sleep)

Suspected coronavirus gave me the feeling of being drunk. I still feel the same 11 days later.

I had this last week right down to drunken 'room spin' feeling and DS was complaining the other day that he was dizzy. We were both sneezing and had running noses yesterday and the day before but feel okay now aside from a bit of a sore/achy throat first thing in the morning. Were both very tired too.

Check for carbon monoxide leaking.

Seriously. And as a matter of urgency.

The pins and needles and not having an obvious temperature is what is making me think this.

We've got carbon monoxide detectors in all our rooms as we have gas heating and lots of open fires. They are all on 0. It was a god thought though, and one I had had too, thank you.

Ofwarren did you get tested? Are you ok now or is it still ongoing?

That's good. It's often mistaken for flu but has some very different symptoms including funny feelings in extremities.

I'm afraid it's very likely you do both have a flu type bug or CV19 then.

Hope you're both feeling better soon.

Oh great 😬 not what I wanted to hear. Dh and ds4 are here too. Luckily we have tons of food and medicine. Thanks for your help.

Oh god..I've started feeling exactly the same tonight.

ofwarren · 03/04/2020 21:38

I'm on day 11. Only confirmed my my GP unfortunately.
The dizziness is still there along with random pins and needles.

Swifey40 · 03/04/2020 21:39

glassseagulls explain your symptoms to me? We can compare 😂😬
Are you on your own?? I'm in my early 40's and ds is 8.
Hope you feel better soon.

It's the season for viruses. Very likely not to be Corona xxx

I have anxiety issues so I hope it's that.
Headache (not usual for me) and tingling arms and legs (which are an anxiety symptom for me, though it is nearly time to take my meds for that) and feeling a bit dizzy but I know I haven't been eating properly.
It's probably anxiety but obviously having that is making me worry about CV19.
Probably one of the few times I am hoping it is anxiety!
