I'm on the third week of it and feel worse today than before.

Also please add shortness of breath in the cold and aches to your list.

aintnospringchicken · 04/02/2024 18:22

Me.Productive cough,gungy nose,zero appetite and the most horrendous earache that has me nearly in tears.Oh and I've also lost my voice.I've been coughing (dry cough) for the last 3 weeks and things have escalated since Friday.
Feeling so miserable 😩

Yes. Since 6th January. My daytime heart rate is consistently above 100, rising to 150 if I do anything like go upstairs or walk from the car to school. I've lost about 3kg and look so tired and ill. Constant coughing which has now strained some chest muscles which is a fun new pain to deal with. Temperature spiking to 101 at random points of the day. In my case it was something like flu first, followed two weeks later by covid.

Oh goodness that sounds horrendous. I've done covid tests and am negative. I wish you and everyone else a speedy recovery. Off to make another honey & lemon!

Had this on and off for over 2 months now. Have ok days and then it comes back with a vengeance. Am having a bad day today and feel very sorry for myself.

NCTDN · 04/02/2024 19:14

It's just horrible. I definitely feel better some days but then the next day feel bad again. I'm so fed up of waking up with a headache. Covid tests have been negative.

Whattheduck · 04/02/2024 20:12

Yes since new year
I started with the flu and bronchitis then a chest infection
I’m now on my 3rd course of antibiotics a stronger one and I went for a chest xray last week as doctor could still hear crackles around my chest / lungs
I don’t have any energy really having to force myself to do stuff and just feel tired all the time.Most nights I’m in bed by 9.00.

Dussa · 04/02/2024 20:22

Yes I've had these symptoms but no cough. Been feeling awful for three weeks now, dragging myself through work and in bed by eight each night. COVID tests negative. I feel wiped out. It's really grim. What the hell is it?

ChocAuVin · 04/02/2024 20:27

Me too 🙋🏽‍♀️

hattie43 · 04/02/2024 20:29

Me , I've been ill since Tuesday, came out of nowhere, chesty cough , lost voice sore throat etc

Garlickit · 04/02/2024 20:32

Three weeks here, too. I'm mystified as I never go anywhere or spend more than 30 seconds talking to anyone! It must be a fomite-transferable germ. Thanks, Covid-19, for teaching me that word.

FizzyStream · 04/02/2024 20:33

Yes! Literally just after dinner tonight I got horrendous back ache so went for a bath and now it's gone up to my head. I've also got a sore throat and my limbs are aching in that way that even wearing clothes hurts 😢 what the bloody hell is it? It's come out of nowhere.

Meadowy · 04/02/2024 20:36

Yes, with the high heart rate thing. It’s really horrible.

Parapapampam · 04/02/2024 20:39

My three DC all have it, and say half the kids at their schools have it too, so definitely very contagious whatever it is.

RoonilWazlib21 · 04/02/2024 20:40

Yes since Wednesday. The headache is something else - so painful and lost my taste and smell today. 5 covid tests have been negative. No idea what it is but wish it would go back where it came from.

justthecat · 04/02/2024 20:42

I'm on week 5

LazJaz · 04/02/2024 20:44

About to enter week 3 of this mad virus - hope it’s gone by tomorrow absolutely awful I’m totally exhausted and bored of feeling randomly crap and massive coughing fits

Lionbags · 04/02/2024 20:50

Yes although I think something different to what you have. Randomly started throwing up yesterday, no one else has a bug or anything so I’m not sure what it is. Today insane headache, sore throat, random aches and just utterly exhausted. Put the kids to bed and just dosed off, but awake again now so hoping I can sleep more soon.

MyLadyTheKingsMother · 04/02/2024 21:03

Sounds like most of you have the flu

TootsyPants · 04/02/2024 21:06

Me too, day 15. Rough.
