I came down with quite severe flu like symptoms on the 7th Feb. It hit me so quick. Worked hard at the gym then swam 40 lengths and felt great until I got out of the pool and started shivering. Within 2 hours I could hardly leave the sofa. I then had 5 days of very high temp, horrendous shivers and sweats and could barely stand. Then a pretty violent dry cough. I was back at the gym though on day 8
. No other symptoms. I’m never ill and exercise a lot(well used to
) so had a pretty good immune system IMO.
It’s now been over 6 weeks and the dry cough has turned mucousy and chesty and is intermittent but not going away. What’s really annoying though is the runny nose which came on about 4 weeks ago. I have to blow my house several times a day and there’s lot of it although very thin and saliva like (sorry TMI). It’s driving me mad!
Could this have been Covid19 and is that why the cough and runny nose is still there?
Anyone actually had it and having any long term after affects?
