Yep. I'm 3 weeks into it, finally feeling a bit better today. I found that a nasal spray took the edge off but yes it's been rough. Sorry you're feeling poorly.

Thank you @HowManyDucks I will try that. Glad you are at the end!

I had covid last month and the symptoms you're experiencing sounds very similar.

Thank you @Growlybear83 hope you are feeling better. I have finally broken a sweat. I was just over heating earlier.

Thanks. I was coughing up bloody mucus for days, seriously unpleasant. I also found a small lump on my right forearm which I'm assuming is a lymph node or something, so watch out for that!

Otrivine nasal spray is the one I'm using.

It might be hay fever.

@ChardonnaysBeastlyCat definitely not hay fever, chills, temperature, sweating, body aches all over and razor thoat.
