When does it get better ?

[thunderonlyhappenswhenits]

I am not a person that gets ill, ever. I just dodge everything even when it's around me through my son or dp.
I tested positive for Covid yesterday and omg I've not been this ill since I had the flu when I was younger. I'm 11 weeks pregnant so I don't know if that's making it feel worse ?
I've got the most horrendous headaches, face aches, ear aches and blocked sinus'
My legs, hips and lower back are aching so much. I keep getting shivers and paracetamol just isn't touching none of it. Honestly I don't feel like I can cope another day feeling like this, and this is only going to be day2. I've been up since 2.30am as I feel to bad to sleep.
I thought Covid was meant to be mild now ?! This is not mild ! How long did it last for other people ??

I tested positive because I had to test weekly for work. I was asymptomatic for nine days. Then on day 10 I woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a bus. That lasted about ten days and I was exhausted for a good six months after.

Same thing happened when I had the flu in my 20s. Was fine in the morning, couldn't lift my head off the pillow by the evening and was very ill for about 2 weeks, then very very tired for about 6/7 months afterwards, to the point where I ended up going to the gp to rule out anemia.

The day you test positive or symptoms start is day 0 not day 1, just to help you count.
Are you treble jabbed? That should help. It seems to be quite variable. Some have it mildly and some quite badly. Being ill when you’re pregnant is horrible
Just rest.

Oh god only day 1 😩😩 I think it's the fact I can't take nothing to help me even feel slightly human, I have prescription strength codeine that would knock me out but obviously a big no no. I had some paracetamol at 4.30am but I'm burning up now so it's not worked.
My mom had it and it didn't touch her!
