For seeing every new thing happening with my body as a sign of the virus?? *LIghthearted*

[MrEzraGoldberg]

Lighthearted

To think every symptom is a sign of corona virus??

Currently sporting a very fetching rash all over my lower back, top of buttocks and thighs. Can't recall having anything quite like this before, and am now worrying that this is a new symptom of the virus that no-one has yet reported.

Yes, I know I"m being unreasonable ( to be the first with this particular symptom...)

Anyone else suddenly hyper vigilant when it comes to bodily goings on??

Ha, I’m a bit tired today and keep thinking it’s the start of CV fatigue! I suspect there’s quite a few of us...

Hope the rash clears up soon

I did not enable voting!!! Don't bother voting please as that feature annoys me.

Can mumsnet PLEASE remove the voting feature?? I hate the damn thing. Also, I'm irritable.

Yes I spent most of last night convinced I was showing the first signs of it. I ached all over and was freezing cold.

Woke up this morning and feel 100%. Probably felt like it because I'd been hunched over my work laptop all day and wasn't wearing enough layers. 🙄

Sneezed 3 times in a row last night and immediately felt the sense of impending doom.
Woke up feeling fine.
Phew.

I have scratches - fairly large ones that have bled - on my shoulders, bum cheeks, back & sides. No memory of doing it. I reckon I'm being abducted in the night for secret govmint sperryments

OhClover - thank you. It's more than likely an idleness rash Hope you feel less tired soon too. It's a worrying time for so many and this think is so prevalent, it's hard not to be extra wary.

Stop it 😂 My partner has experienced every symptom of every illness over the past Three weeks and it’s wearing me down! I said why haven’t I had any symptoms then? We share a bed ! You cough all over me ! Apparently he has ‘bad luck’ with illnesses.

I coughed twice yesterday. This close to self isolation.

Two nights ago I remember coughing in my sleep and thinking ‘ah fuck, here we go’. Woke up completely normal. DP and I are also taking our temp about three times a day. If we’re up .1 of a degree we look at each other like 😱

My shoulders ache, has no connection whatsoever with three days spent in the garden shredding branches . . .

I keep thinking I've got it got a full headache that won't go away been like that for days but it's likely a stress headache because I catch myself at time's clenching my jaw

I thought over weekend I had it felt achey and had to go lie down felt fine later on in the evening

I had to go to the shop yesterday and made heroic efforts not to cough in case it freaked everyone out then ended up sounding like a strangled penguin at the checkout.

Went to bed with a pain in my chest, convinced I'd be completely Covided up this morning....woke up feeling fine and remembered I'd overstretched in my online Pilates class yesterday

We have got a tally chart for how many people cough and how many times at my work! More than 3 coughs and it's the Spanish inquisition. Even a sneeze is met with the most suspicious eye-balling.

@Thelnebriati - I have tree pollen hay fever. Sneezing, itchy nose & eyes, cough. I've decided it's safer for DH to go to the shops in case I get trapped with a weighted net and hauled away somewhere.

My partner keeps doing this otherworldly cough which he says is to ‘get to the bottom of his lungs’ - sort of a huge deep intake of breath which makes him shudder then a ‘aaurrghhh - cough’ it has made the dog shit itself a few times!

We’ve also had diarrhea with commentary at 3am, 5am chest pains and almost calling an ambulance until gaviscon was drunk, Middle of the night dizziness spells where he stumbled round the room for several minutes and kept saying ‘god I’m so dizzy, I think I am really ill’. Try standing up quickly when you’re bleeding like a stuffed pig from a bad period ! That’s a bloody dizzy spell ! Sit the fuck down and you’ll be fine !

Oh yes, EVERYTHING is making me wonder. My son has ASD too and always snotty and making strange noises, I'm constantly questioning myself as to whether anything is new or cough-like.

@ikboo fellow sufferer, that is my fear as well.

I spent much of the first week of lockdown getting a headache in the afternoon and feeling ridiculously tired.

Then worked out it was probably from not leaving the house. And the stress of homeschooling.

Yep. Woke up feeling hot in the night, DH was too. Oh no! We must have coronavirus at the exact same time, it can't be that it's just a bit warm in the room. Then fine in morning, no temperature. Felt tired in the afternoon and had headache, oh no! Then realised my period was due and I always feel like that. I've actually had fewer headaches during lockdown than I usually get.

I keep getting a horrible scratchy throat, fear the worst and then remember we’re mid (stalled more like!) renovation and breathing mostly dust.

So hard not to get paranoid

It's so reassuring to know it's not just me! Yes, it's making us paranoid Foofer. I have asthma, so if I have a wheeze unexpectedly, it's a minor panic.

Bought a thermometer to monitor temperature - all I've learned from that is that I'm a medical marvel as my temperature is consistently under 35 degrees. T'internet reliably informs me that anything below 35 is hypothermic. It was 32.6 earlier! The thermometer did cost less than three pounds, but still....

It's a nightmare! I've been a bit achy the last few days and basically wrote myself off, but I reckon it's from lying my giant butt on the couch all day 😂😂

My hay fever has also chosen this week to kick in so I'm all sneezy and itchy eyed. I'm feart someone sends me off for quarantine for accidentally sneezing in a shop!
