Progression of coronavirus

I developed symptoms on Friday night and reported it via the NHS website on Sunday. I've been self isolating since Saturday morning. I had a mild fever very briefly then the cough set in and it is absolutely wracking. By Monday morning I had terrible diarrhoea, and I have been shitting water ever since.

I just wondered if anybody who is also going through or has had coronavirus could tell me about the progression of their symptoms. I have heard that it seems to get better then get worse again but I'm having trouble finding much about what to expect when you have it. Everyone seems to be using the same text but my symptoms, especially the gastrointestinal issues, don't seem to be that common.

Poor you OP. I don't think I have it or at least I'm hoping my sore throat is just a sort throat.

I think I read from reports in China that it can improve and become worse again, but that's not necessarily the case (in other words it might just improve). Look after yourself Flowers

Thanks! It's not knowing what to expect that's so frustrating, am I getting better or will it get worse? It's worrying.

I had those symptoms back in February.
If it was CV, I felt better in about 4-5 days but had gastro issues for a week extra

I was tested for norovirus etc but result came back negative.

I’m totally wondering if I’ve already had it
