Anyone else feeling unwell at the moment (not Corona)?

It came on suddenly on Saturday- exhaustion, aching joints, no energy. Got no cough, sore throat or fever, just feeling absolutely wiped out. I've been eating well and exercising and generally taking care of myself. Its worse today- still in bed with mild flu like symptoms

Anyone aware of any bugs doing the rounds?

I felt like that and pretty sure it was corona. (DH had the classic symptoms a few days earlier and I lost my sense of smell a couple of days later.)

Sounds like corona op imo

FrodoTheDodo · 02/06/2020 07:15

I did week before last but also had a temperature. Tested for CV (through work) and negative. Defo some kind of virus though as still feel very fatigued and poor appetite.

That's what hit me at 3.30 yesterday afternoon. Sheer exhaustion. Got into bed at 5.30pm, just woken up.
My headache has gone, but I feel heavy all over.

Yes, fatigue and aching joints, usually go for a 20 minute run with dog first thing in a morning but can’t face it for last few mornings, husbands feel the same....no cough/temp or sore throat

I had corona in March - wasnt tested but had all the classic symptoms. Fever, exhaustion, dry cough, no smell or taste. This feels different, more like a regular bug. Not as severe as regular flu but along those lines. DP has it as well but with a very sore throat too. Both eating normally and managing ok with paracetamol but feeling well below par

Sounds like coronavirus. Get tested. That’s the problem with the governments defined symptoms, lots of people don’t have any of them.

DreamingofSunshine · 02/06/2020 07:25

DS' paediatrician told me there are still some nasty viruses out there doing the rounds which aren't CV19. Hope you feel better soon.

DreamingofSunshine · 02/06/2020 07:26

I would order a CV test kit though as they could be symptoms.

Sameold2020 · 02/06/2020 07:36

Go online and order a test before they run out for the day. You have nothing to lose. Or book in at a testing station.

Yes, no energy, low grade headache, general body aches and a dizzy spell last night.
My temp was 37.7 so normal.

SallyWD · 02/06/2020 07:46

I've felt exactly like this for a few days. I do have an infected tooth so wondered if it was that. I also don't have a fever or cough so can't assume it's covid.

Lottapianos · 02/06/2020 12:55

Thanks all. Feeling better than this morning. Still very tired but aches have stopped and not quite as wiped out as past few days. Hoping the worst is over!

I've phoned the doctor and I'm getting a phone consultation this afternoon.

WotnoPasta · 02/06/2020 13:22

I’ve had this and a negative result. I didn’t order a test quickly enough though and really should have done it a week earlier.

FatherWindyShepherdHenderson · 02/06/2020 13:37

Yes, I’ve had a weird pain in one of my ears on and off for weeks now... the last few days it’s affecting my jaw and one of my teeth feels ‘sensitive’. Had a course of antibiotics when it first happened and it seemed to go away but it’s suddenly come back. Am starting to wonder if I’ve developed hay fever as I’ve had tickly nostrils which have caused me to have the odd sneezing fit and occasionally a dry throat. It doesn’t happen during the night, I wake up feeling normal etc. Then I go outside to feed the birds and hang the washing out and hey presto the pain starts to gradually start again! 😕 Am waiting to see if it’s the same over the next week when the weather is supposed to change to cooler and rainy... but it’s doing my head in! 😫

Hope everyone feels better soon 💐
