I’d posted further up the thread when I originally started with strange symptoms but I’ve changed my username since,
DD (17) had a very heavy cold over the weekend before last. Her illness lasted around 5 days and was a typical cold, running nose, congestion, slight cough but no temperature.
A day or so after that I started to feel like I was coming down with the same cold, the worst part was the backache, right in the middle of my back. I felt chills now and again and then developed a sore throat. I also had an ulcer at the back of my tongue. I felt tired and drained, slight headache and slight cough.
The symptoms seemed to wax and wane over the week, sore throat would come and go, backache would come and go cough on and off, occasionally I’d feel strange and my face would go hot or I’d feel chilly.
One night, I woke in bed and my whole lungs felt like they were burning - I felt it bloom in my chest and then fade away. Yesterday I felt a bit better but today again I had the chills and backache. Today, a week after the original symptoms started my windpipe feels itchy and irritated and I’m coughing more. I felt wheezy and out of breath this afternoon but It faded after an hour and I felt ok again, the overwhelming feeling now is irritation through my chest and that dry cough - like I’ve been out in the cold or over exerted myself.
It’s really strange - no fever, only the occasional chill. No real fatigue, I wonder if it’s anxiety which is then affecting my breathing and tension where I’m holding my back tight. Really odd how we all seem to be having very similar symptoms.
