Going on holiday tomorrow with dh and our children
Woke this morning with sore throat over day felt exhausted and a bit blocked in sinuses.

Mid afternoon developed a painful tension headache that pain meds are not relieving also feel nauseous, had stomach pain and some diarrhoea. Temperature and racing heart.

Options-

Anxiety- possible as taking two Sen kids is always stressful plus recently read some negative reviews. But don't feel anxious about going, just anxious about being ill on holiday.

Virus/cold - no other symptoms sneezing etc

Peri menopause- also not sleeping due to insomnia

Sinus infection

Other infection - have a large swollen bite on leg (possibly a horsefly) very itchy and hot to touch but no obvious signs of infection

Allergies- do get hayfever and forgot to take antihistamines for a couple days. Actually took a random tablet at mils today don't know what brand (but didn't help)

Stress- had a busy few weeks with kids , work was feeling quite tired/rundown a week or so ago. Also have asd so could be burnout?

Wine- drank some wine yesterday with mil. Often has histamine in so could be a reaction.

Tension in jaw. Woke up last few days with tense jaw. Could be a knock on affect.

Sorry posted too soon. Any thoughts? I do get lots of colds and frequently seem to be ill at big events

Covid
take a test to rule it out

Sounds like you’ve got a bug. Sorry OP, you’ll feel crap for a day or two then be better. Lean on DH.

My first thought was Covid too.

ineedtostopbeingdramaticfirst · 19/05/2024 23:39

Can't believe in my large list I didn't consider covid!

I had similar a month ago but the worst of it was 24 hours. Covid test was clear but they were out of date and all my colleagues, who I’d been around, tested positive so I’m pretty sure it was that. I was sick too but that may have been the sinus issue that caused that. It then became a standard annoying, but bearable, cold.

Rubbish I don't want to be ill!!

Sounds like a virus.

Are you (also?) neurodivergent. This sounds like the unlikely list of possibilities I go through when it's obvious that I'm ill but my brain hasn't caught up with my body yet.

Yes I'm autistic I guess I worry it's something fixable and I'm not doing anything to fix it.

I remember I had something similar in March and last December I feel like I'm always ill

And often in lead up to big events not sure if it's connected

There’s a few nasty covid and covid-lookalike bugs going around. No fun, sorry you feel so rubbish and ahead of a holiday too.
