Diarrhoea and early CV symptoms?

[sourcreamnchives]

Hi
Did anyone who knows for sure they had the CV get diarrhoea as an early presenting symptom? But felt well with it if a bit nauseous?

Yes. I tested positive for Covid in May. Initially, my overwhelming symptoms were diarrhoea, nausea, extreme fatigue & then muscle pain & headache.

My cough didn’t start for quite some time and at no point did I lose my sense of taste or smell.

@CoffeeRunner sorry if tmi but how severe was the diarreah (argh can never spell it)?

Also did you have a temp?

I’m fairly sure I had covid in March (not tested at the time but have had 2 positive anti body tests), as did my husband (same symptoms though no test). I’m fairly sure my toddler must have caught from us as we did not attempt any kind of social distancing, but the ONLY symptom she had was diarrhoea for a couple of days.

@QuarantineDream the diarrhoea actually lasted for 3 weeks! Mild initially, then constant & severe (sorry for TMI but almost as soon as I ate or drank anything I would get the stomach cramps) then back to mild again.

Temp yes but not consistently. By which I mean I had a high temp (no higher than 37.9) on one recording, then it would be within normal range for a day or so, then spike again.

At the time I tested positive it was pretty much just cough & high temp that people were being warned about. But for me, they were the mildest issues.

I'm convinced I had covid in March - dreadful diarrhoea for 3 days, everything ached, temperature between 39 and 42 degrees for the three days.
The only thing that makes me doubt my self-diagnosis is that no one else around me became unwell, but I did keep my distance pretty well.
