Yes but seem to be getting over it. Snot is finally loose and green 😬

OddBoots · 21/12/2023 21:47

I thought so but it is covid.

toomanyleggings · 21/12/2023 21:47

Oddly enough I have had no colds this year. I don’t get why. I’m constantly wiping green snot off my toddler, and having her slobber all over me/ sneeze into my eyeballs. It’s quite unnerving really

wildwestpioneer · 21/12/2023 21:48

Jay starting to feel better, cold and a cough for nearly two weeks

biscuitnut · 21/12/2023 21:48

Yes started a week ago. It’s finally easing but it’s been a real pig. Mainly affected my sinuses which were really painful. No cough - yet!

TippingTree · 21/12/2023 21:50

Yep, I realised today I have no sense of smell or taste and tested positive for covid this afternoon. So behind on Christmas prep so I think I’m going to have to lower my standards a bit!

Yes, feeling incredibly rough. Where does one get covid tests these days?

Amazon - I got 25 tests for £17 but they all need to be used by January 🤣

yummychocolate · 21/12/2023 21:52

Yep. Me and DH have covid. Awful timing. We feel so rough and had fun things planned too.

Cocolapew · 21/12/2023 21:52

Yes, I'm drowning in snot, it feels like when I had Covid last year.

Celebrationsnakes · 21/12/2023 21:52

No

Showmethebagels · 21/12/2023 21:53

Yes I’ve got a horrendous cough but not had a runny nose. Tested negative for Covid. The cough is worse than when I had Covid but I’ve not felt otherwise unwell with this , no temp, aches etc.

idontlikealdi · 21/12/2023 21:54

We've all got something, not testing for Covid. Other viruses are available and prevalent.

aModernClassic · 21/12/2023 21:55

Yes. I've got a cold and coughing up green phlegm. And I think my mum has laryngitis.

BeadedBubbles · 21/12/2023 21:57

Yes - done 2 Covid tests but both negative.

RoseInBloome7 · 21/12/2023 21:59

Yes , awful headache with cough and snot!

Ds has Covid but I've tested negative for last five days but we have the same symptoms Xmas Confused

TalkingInTheKitchen · 21/12/2023 22:05

Currently on day 5 of flu. Totally floored me, today is the first day I've been able to sit up. I couldnt even look at my phone as it hurt my eyes!Absolutely horrendous cough too. We were meant to be hosting Christmas too! Hope everyone is feeling better soon Flowers

ActDottie · 21/12/2023 22:07

Yes! But one of those annoying ones that has lingered for ages where it’s not a full on cold but I have a slight runny nose and blocked ears.

Doihavetogotoworkdotcom1 · 21/12/2023 22:09

I’ve got covid

Oxborn · 21/12/2023 22:09

OddBoots · 21/12/2023 21:47

I thought so but it is covid.

Think the same for me which totally messes up Xmas arrangements

Creatingnothingfromnothing · 21/12/2023 22:09

Tested positive for Covid this morning.Now it feels like the worst cold but shivery this afternoon. Not sure I will be negative for Christmas Day . Like being in lockdown again.

Notimeforidiots69 · 21/12/2023 22:09

Yes I do, but not a full blown one thankfully! If you have, get well soon ❤❤❤

Crooklodge · 21/12/2023 22:16

@Ketzele Amazon prime, bout a quid a test.

had covid 3 weeks ago and was fine. 3 days after testing negative got an awful head cold, my head feels like it's going to burst if I remotely move it and ears need a good old pop but it's not happening. constant coughing and sneezing but strangely my nostrils feel so dry.

But, the kids haven't got the d&v bug this year so bonus, I guess.

Whatliesbeneath707 · 21/12/2023 22:17

Yes. It started as a really heavy cold that came on one evening. Within 3-4 hours I was snotty & feeling rough. I tested positive for Covid 2 days later, as I couldn't shake a dreadful headache. My left ear is completely blocked & the right ear is blocked intermittently. I'm still snotty & lacking in energy 10 days on. I can't taste or smell anything but I'm really hungry.

I had only just recovered from having Norovirus about 3 weeks before. All seem to be doing the rounds.

autienotnaughty · 21/12/2023 22:19

I've had cold for about 5 weeks. There was a few days in the middle where I felt slightly better so not sure if it's two separate things or one long one. Headache blocked sinus, weakness, nausea, dizziness. I am so fed up. No energy to do anything
