I know MN isn't a doctors and all that jazz . I'm more curious if I should be worried...

I was fine yesterday morning but then all of a sudden I started feeling unwell - shaky , lethargic and just out of sorts.

I then developed a dry cough in a few hours.

I have periods of feeling really cold to the bone but my skin is hot to touch .

I didn't sleep well last night .

I have a raw feeling in my chest and my throat feels very "airy" but not sore .

My whole body is aching but mainly my neck . My neck feels stiff to the point I want to cry - but I can move it , it's just the constant achy pain .

I have a dull but not horrific headache.

If I breathe in too much or too fast , I get a sharp pain under my boob .

My kidneys are giving me stabbing pains but I'm wondering if this is because I haven't been drinking enough water .

I have felt very sick but have been able to do some work today (I work from home).

The moment I stand I feel lightheaded and nauseous .

I've taken to my bed but I can still eat , move around etc . Albeit I'm not eating as much as I usually do that will do me some good

Anyone else had this virus ?

Incidentally, this research study found that ear thermometers were the least accurate of all. A bit of wax, the wrong angle, the wrong shape ear canal, and you've got inaccurate temperatures.

It wasn’t that impressed with auxiliary either - guess we should the wards I work in that use temporal have the right idea.

I see that wasn’t the only fuck-up in my post! Really shouldn’t write posts on the train.
