DH has had COVID the last 3 weeks, been okay and still been going to work even though I've told him not to as he's been in denial saying it's just a tickly throat he's had. Never mind he's had me up every night with his coughing. He's a heating engineer for local housing association and so is in and out of several households a day. He's better but now I've got it again. I feel like shite. Hot/cold, sore, dry, hot, hoarse throat, coughing, pissing myself everytime I cough, generally unwell. He's adamant it's not COVID so I took a LFT and low and behold positive.
He's wiped the floor with me, - what's the point of taking a test? what am I trying to prove? It's just a cold, get on with it, etc. I'm not I'll and have had it before but I got my period this morning and have cramp on top of everything else so I just want a little bit of love and sympathy and he just wants his fkin bread buttered. He's text asking what's for tea tonight, no how are you? Kiss my arse or anything.
I need a cuddle.

So sorry your DH is being useless. Irrelevant what the illness is. You look after you. If you want to get into bed with a hot water bottle and have a slice of toast for dinner, do that. In response to his "what's for dinner message" just say "I'm not feeling up to cooking or eating tonight, so feel free to pick something up on the way home". (If you do feel like eating, tell him to pick whatever it is you fancy up for both of you)
