Over the last few days I've had on and off stomach cramps and the runs, and general fatigue.
Today I am very fatigued and had a slight sore throat, dizzy head and some tinnitus.
No temperature, no cough.
I do have a tight chest but I have Lupus and have had most of these symptoms, at some point, over the years during flares.
I am very prone to pleurisy during a flare so put any lung pain down to that.
I'm at a bit of a loss whether to isolate or not. I'm not at work and only going out once a week for shopping, walking the dog most days.
Has anyone else had similar?

Coco, I'm sorry you are not feeling well, but as Covid symptoms differ so much I would suggest you call 111 so they can advise you. I wish you a speedy recovery.💐

Thank you Mindfull, I forgot about 111, we don't usually have it in NI but do have a CV one now.
I looked in the mirror before bed and my cheeks are very red and it looks like my Lupus rash, so for the mean time I'll treat it as that Smile

@Cocolapew I have Lupus too. How are you feeling? I have a lot of those symptoms when flaring. If I had the virus I probably wouldn't know - I get a lot of fevers! Had a lot of facial redness recently due to stress and being caught out in the sun.

Not as bad thanks @nolovelost, bit up and down, very fatigued. I'm treating it as a flare, I don't usually have much of a rash, I was out in the sun a bit more than usual so I'm putting it down to that. It's very confusing Grin
Hope you are feeling ok Smile

@Cocolapew oh dear, I'm sorry you're so fatigued, yes it could be from more sun, what medications do you take, are you still working? I'm not too bad thank you, up and down, which is normal. X

I'm only on hydroxychloroquine and naproxen, I get a steroid injection in my bum when I eventually see my rheumatologist, who's useless Hmm.
I have an open prescription for steroids for when I have a flare.
I usually have one or 2 big flares a year, this time last year was my worse and I ended up with a pulmonary embolism. I do class myself as having Lupus mildly compared to a lot of people.
I'm not at work atm, I work in a school and it's closed.
I feel dreadful today, so I'm in a very bad mood BlushGrin

Yes, mild sore throat, sore tummy with wind and loose stools, red cheeks that are swollen looking mild fatigue and mild back pain.
Tested positive two days into these symptoms.
No cough, no head aches, no fevers , so far no flu feeling either.

nolovelost · 02/05/2020 16:15

I'm on the same. I wouldn't say that was mild, I'm sorry about the embolism. I think I have it mild. Take it easy and treat yourself Flowers

Cocolapew · 02/05/2020 17:25

I hope you are recovering Stressheadme, thanks nolovelost, you too
