Feel so rough, sore throat, bit shivery, funny tummy, anyone else?

[CornishTeaTime]

Been like this since Thursday night but nowhere near as bad as today.
Woke up feeling hot, very sore throat, shivery a bit and pains in tummy and been to the toilet twice (soft not diarrhea).
Anyone else?

It's worth testing again in a few days sorry to say! My first test was neg, the 2nd a resounding positive

Actually hang on I think I see a faint line
Can you see it???

Covid isn't a cold or flu

Yep I see a line

Another close up...what do you think?

Definitely positive

I see it. Also if you’ve had since Thurs it would prob have been stringer last week

So annoying as flu you get the odd time, Ive had proper flu once in my lifetime. This 3 times now 😔

Yep, that's a positive.

I've just tested positive for Covid. Symptoms- aching body, runny nose, cough. Feel very tired. Had stomach cramps 2 days ago. Hope you feel better soon OP. x

The stomach cramps through me never had them before

yay, join the grim club 😷

I didn’t think of Covid either until l cancelled a hospital appointment and the receptionist mentioned the symptoms being very similar to a recent strain. Mine started with cramps and progressed to feeling grotty with the runs. Sorry OP - sounds like you’ve had it a few days so hopefully won’t be much longer.

Yeah started...
Thurs night - kept going hot and cold bit then it passed

Fri - felt ok just a bit of a sore throat nothing major

Sat - had stomach cramps, toilet visits! Felt abit yuk but stillokish

Sun - felt really iffy hot, cold, stomach cramps, bed early

Mon 4am - felt really hot and achey, stomach cramps raging sore throat runny nose.

Feel so tired as of now. Paracetomol hasnt touched the sore throat, feel hot. Going to have some soup then bed to sleep it off

UPDATE
I can not settle...been in bed 3 hours.. hot, cold...paracetomol not touching.runny nose, feel soooo tired but cant settle.
Any advice?

Oh bless you that's rough. All you can do is rest and try to stay hydrated and beg your granny for valium

You will get better soon I promise. BTW I only did my test for a laugh, oh the giggles I had when the T line went bright red well before the C line had even been touched!

Your temperature will feel wrong for a bit. Sleep under a sheet with your duvet handy. Get well soon!

Such an awful night hot and cold but did sleep some. But this morning boy what a headache and STILL got stomach cramps. I had to rush to the toilet.
I just want to feel better 😔

It really is a horrible virus!

The runs didn’t start for me until a few days in - the stomach cramps were there from day one and just got worse until the runs started. Hopefully it’ll settle down a bit, but stay by the loo. Can anyone go to the chemist and get you some Imodium ? That helped for me, so did dioralyte. Soluble Panadol Plus (in the red box) was fab for the headache. When you start to wake up in a cold sweat, the virus is on it’s way out, and hopefully it won’t be long until you feel better.

That's covid

Update...feel abit better today, still got this badhead though and a bit of a cough. No stomach cramps today yet.
I hate this so much...really stopped me in my tracks
