Does anyone get really tired a few days before cold symptoms start?

[RamseyGordon]

Since Tuesday I have been WIPED OUT! Waking up after 8 hours of sleep feeling exhausted. Needing naps during the day, having to go to bed at 8pm. Then last night my eyes started to feel achey like they do before I get a cold and I was sneezing a few times. I've woke up this morning feeling soooo tired but no sign of a cold as of yet, but my eyes and sinuses do feel a bit sore and achey.

I'm wondering if I may just be coming down with a cold but is it normal to feel so tired before symptoms properly start?

Yes. I have had that a few times. I feel totally wiped out then the cold symptoms hit. It's usually when it's a really bad cold.

Yes, that’s how it starts

Yes - and hungry!

I've got a conker of a cold on me at the moment, had it over a week and can't shift it! I definitely felt really tired a few days before.
