So despite wfh and only going out for shopping and to pick up a take away I seem to have contracted some sorta lurgy. I’m in Scotland and worried I might have covid, hopefully not. I feel queasy and a bit flu like and like a heavy cold is working on me. I do have a slight cough, not continuous, my throat hurts but my temperature seems fine. Do I just have normal Christmas lurgy or should I get a test? It’s all I need ffs!

We have no way of getting food etc dropped off. My elderly mother can’t do it neither can mil. I got a decent sleep and actually feel a lot better but I will book online and see what comes back...hello house for two weeks!

@dontgobaconmyheart I know I can’t ‘just turn up and swan in’ I’m now booked in. I can’t bloody believe this! The only place I have been this week is two shops on Thursday to get my food shopping Angry

Glad you tested - my lurgy turned out to be Covid!

BashfulClam · 20/12/2020 22:03

Aw @CatFaceCats don’t tell me that. I’m hoping I get a text tomorrow or Tuesday saying ‘you’re overreacting!’

I honestly thought mine was my yearly bad cold/sinus infection! I was so shocked when it came back positive! Fingers crossed for you :)

BashfulClam · 20/12/2020 22:08

To be honest if it is and this is as bad as I feel then I’m getting off lightly compared to when I had proper flu years ago.
