Anyone got this cold/virus

Has anyone else feeling rough? Started on Monday with sore throat and aching body, sneezing, exhausted, no appetite and just feel utterly miserable. I am on a really intense training course and have been going straight to bed after it. Hoping it runs its course soon.

Why do people post so frequently to ask if others have a virus? It's very normal and 1000's will also have one.

@Debtfreeme this sounds like what my girls have had. No fever. No cough. Just absolutely wiped out. Raging grumpy in the smallest ones. Sleeping and off food. But nothing to pin point.

DelusionalBrilliance · 18/09/2024 07:56

Me! Body aches were next level, headache on and off too, no appetite. The first two days I didn’t know if I was hot or cold, constant sweating which isn’t like me at all! I’m on day 6 and just about starting to feel better but I’m still exhausted. I’m in Belfast and a few off work / school with it

everyone has had it here. Was curious so we tested. It's covid.
Apparently it's absolutely rife at the moment.

Ds2 has a rotten cold at the moment and feels ill. I am hoping I don't catch it

the80sweregreat · 18/09/2024 12:07

I think the Covid tests do have a use by date on them!

alpacachino · 18/09/2024 12:08

Thanks for heads up I'm on day two will get a covid test

Mischmasch · 18/09/2024 12:08

Likely to be Covid….

GinnyPiggie · 18/09/2024 12:09

I hope the training course is not in-person!!!

HighPrecisionGhosts · 18/09/2024 12:10

Ahhhhhh... thjnknthis is what I'm just shrugging off.
No appetite.
Restless sleep.
Hot/cold but no temp
Fatigue/no energy
Shortness of breath
Slight sore throat but nothing amazing.
Aches in joints - could hardly walk 1 day.
Tested for Covid but nothing

Been on ibuprofen for a few days and dri king water. Spent 1 day doing nothing but dozing.
Think I'm over the worse.

lololulu · 18/09/2024 12:12

Me and dh had / have it. Day 6 now and the sneezing has started.

Where can you buy Covid tests?

MysteriousUsername · 18/09/2024 12:15

I have covid. Started with a sore throat on Saturday night, then aches on Sunday, on Monday I started feeling freezing, then boiling, cough, very very snotty, nausea. Did an out of date test that came up positive straight away, so sent a son to get a new one that also came up positive immediately.

Feeling very rough. I don't work so don't have to go out.

Pharmacy. It was £2 for one test here.

colouringindoors · 18/09/2024 12:18

Yes. Started like this 2 weeks ago, assumed a cold and kept going. Tested positive for Covid 8 days ago and still wiped out with severe fatigue. Rubbish.

I’ve had this too. The symptoms are so annoying I keep falling asleep by about half 8! And waking lots feeling hot/cold but not feverish. Even my ribs are tender it’s odd. My sore throat is mild like I just want to constantly drink but it never gets rid of that dry thirsty feeling. I’m on about the third day.

aNameyName · 18/09/2024 12:23

I currently have COVID, tested early having realised I couldn't taste well and got an unambiguous positive. 5 days on I feel rubbish, though have had a few hours here and there of feeling quite OK. My symptoms in order of appearance: fatigue, loss of smell, feverish/unable to regulate thermally, no appetite, body aches, poor concentration, sore throat, streaming nose, sneezing, headaches (my god, the headaches!), dry repetitive cough.

Amazon deliver flu and covid tests really quickly.
Local pharmacy may deliver.

Daltonbear1 · 18/09/2024 12:40

Yes I am not sneezing but my God shooting pains on joints etc feeling hot and cold Yesterday I had the district nurse. Come because I Ve got a problem with my leg anyway. And I was convinced I had a temperature. They checked my temperature out. It's normal check my pulse. It's normal. But I felt so ill and really dizzy. So they did my blood sugar test and it said hi. So I for oh my God, I must have developed diabetes. They then tested my blood sugars properly and it turned out. I haven't got diabetes, but yes. I've got a dry mouth. I am aching all over and I. Feel like s* anyway. I rang the doctors up. And they said it's probably COVID. Now I do get a COVID jab every year because of my issues. So I was thinking maybe it's a mild form because of the jab.

Yes. Has turned out to be Covid. Thought I could struggle on, but 2nd day in I can't get out of bed. Feel absolutely lousy, hot eyes, muscle aches, headache, razorblade throat, and oh the ruddy sneezing!

the80sweregreat · 19/09/2024 20:45

Ds2 has it , but it's not that bad. He has asthma so has to be careful.
I am fighting off a cold, but working with children means I'll probably catch something
