I know you can't know for sure any more than me but does this sound like I've just had it?

[ViciousTrollope]

Would just like some outside opinions. Deep in the cabin fever zone here and questioning my sanity!

Definite symptoms: Sore throat (really bad), temp 38.1, sweating/shivering cycle, headache, earache, massive lethargy. Only had these all together for one day. Throat has lasted 4 days now.

Absent symptoms: Cough. Shortness of breath.

? symptoms: Thought I could feel an odd sensation in my lower chest when I breathed in. Like a slightly hot breath/faint burning sensation.

Am 39. Fit and healthy. No pre-existing conditions/risk factors. Never get sick.

Work for NHS so am in self isolation (at work's orders) but not convinced that I've even got it 😵 and worried about going back and getting slammed by the real thing!

I've just had a weird spell of being really unwell which folded out over sort of two weeks, I'm a lot better now but a lot of what you have mentioned I had, my chest still doesnt feel right and my lungs felt like they ached deeply. You're doing the right thing, they're hoping to roll out a testing kit soon so people will know if they have it/ had it or not which will be helpful and NHS staff will get it first. Fingers crossed I hope you feel better soon whatever it is! I'm a hca and due to start at my local NHS hopstial in two weeks so well done for your hard work and take care x

Same as me. I think I've had it

Thanks both 🍷 I'm not a nurse/doctor/HCP so not on front line.

Poor DP is trying to figure out how and when he can see his DC next and we don't know if we can base his risk level on me having had it or not. It's so confusing.

Bizarre what were your symptoms?

Doesn't sound fun, let's face it

Sore throat Saturday, shattered Sunday, temp of 38 and really bad throat Monday to Wednesday with sweating and chills.

Jumping on the bandwagon here.
Day 5 dreadful cough right down to base of lungs, coughing up green phlegm, raging snot. No temp. Ache all over. Exhausted.
Wheezy , a bit breathless. Night sweats.
Corona ??

Yeah sounds like the same thing to me Bizarre.

Too coincidental to be an entirely different viral illness with so many overlapping symptoms? Surely?

For context I've never had flu. Never taken antibiotics in my life. Never had a chest infection. Just don't get cock.

if you are only on day 4, wait a bit and see. The cough could start in the next couple of days.
I hope you feel better soon

Fuck sake.

Just don't get SICK.

Not cock.

😂

hairymuffet CV19 is a dry cough..coughing up phlegm sounds like bacterial chest infecting!

It could be Vicious. I have the opposite. No temp, in fact a bit cold at times! Coughing, very tight chested, exhausted. Also work for the NHS. Lots of possible exposure.

Am pretty sure I’ve had it too which as far as I know is good news as it brings immunity
My arms and legs felt like they were made of lead, chills, shivers, then sweating from being raging hot, felt I couldn’t get a full breath in my lungs, pain all around chest with splitting headache for days and extreme fatigue, couldn’t stay awake

I don't get sick or cock if that helps

I think if you have had a temp you have to assume it and your cough might start later. Peoples symptoms seem to unfold some have even started with sickness and diarrhoea. I had all those symptoms but no temp started with extremely sore throat and dry cough started about day 5/6. Snot I think as other OP described is defo not a symptom I don’t think.

just don't get cock

and yet your username suggests otherwise

Well, it's possible. The virus has mutated already but it is possible it is just the flu. I wish you better whatever it is.

Don’t get cock has to be one of the best auto corrects Hee hee

It doesn't tick all the boxes however the only safe stand point from the pov of seeing others is to assume that you have it. Dont take any chances when calculating this, in fact calculate it then add 50% if you are in any doubt.
