I’ve been ill for a week now and currently self-isolating along with the rest of my household. I don’t feel too bad now, just a tad lousy and able to work from home. My symptoms have been:-

  • Achy all over
  • Exhaustion & sleeping as much as possible
  • Headaches
  • Chesty / mucus cough that is getting worse but not so much that it’s really causing me a major concern
  • Sore throat
  • Snotty nose and feeling bunged up
  • Woke up this morning with bloodshot and crusty eyes


It’s very strange and the more I read, the more I think I may actually have a mild case of Corona.

I’ve not been well since Sunday night. Really tired and aching all over. Monday, I woke up with what felt like a bad head cold and still had aching legs and I mean really painful aching.
Tues morning, I thought I felt a bit better, but the aching came back. Diarrhea. Very slight sore throat and a bit of a cough but nothing much.
Still feel rough, legs still aching and tired.
I haven’t a clue what it is, other than I’ve never had anything like it.

Last week started Tuesday with a cough and sore throat then I had about 2 days of fever and aches and pains.
Been extremely fatigued, loss of appetite, loss of taste and just a strange metallic taste in my mouth? Had the dryest mouth for a few days like no matter how much water I had it just dried up instantly. Chest felt a bit tight but not really much problem with breathing thankfully.
My toddler seemed to have the exact same as well, except he really recovered a whole lot quicker than me. Really has cleared up now still got a little bit of a cough left. Still self isolating. Don't know if it was covid or just a nasty bug 🤷‍♀️
