Anyone had Covid without fever or cough?

[LimeLemonOrange]

I've been very ill for around four or five weeks. I don't think it's Covid but wonder if I ought to more seriously consider that as a possibility? Drs are struggling to diagnose me.

My symptoms are much worse on my period (3 weeks apart so just on second one during my illness).

So many symptoms but here are a selection:
Muscle aches, legs aching and exhausted after going upstairs sometimes, arms feeling heavy and leaden, feeling unwell when I use my arms or sit down (sometimes, this vanished then came back)
Overwhelming fatigue
Back and neck ache
Today - dry mouth and very thirsty
Feeling hot then feeling very cold and shivering (but temp ok)
Lightheaded dizzy ish feeling when I move around
Pressing feeling in my back and shoulders

My current self diagnosis is a back and neck issue plus periods from hell caused by peri menopause but I thought I'd ask in case any of you have heard of people having Covid without cough or fever.

Forgot to add nausea and occasional diarrhoea

Also forgot to add tinnitus and sometimes pressure in the ears

Sounds like the flu.

Could well be Covid or just another flu virus. I was ill for a few weeks in March with similar symptoms and as I had no fever presumed it wasn't Covid but I did have a cough. I don't know what it was.

I’m assuming you’ve ordered and taken a covid test?

If we're learned one thing since March surely it's that you can be asymptomatic, have all the classic symptoms and literally every combination in between.

Book a test, whether you have it has nothing to do with anyone else's symptoms

Isn't Boris's new message - Get A Test!

Why not order a home test so you know either way?

My sister had it and had, very very tired and sore thought but never a cough. She lost her sense of tastes and smell a week in
She a nurse and got it at the beginning and wouldn't bothered to of got a test but two others on her ward had tested positive so they all had tests.

Some of those symptoms sounds d like the ones I had in March - I had cough though no fever. The dr I spoke to via 111 said sometimes you won't get a fever, sometimes you won't have a cough. Assuming this is 5 weeks in then if it was covid an antigen test would likely not show anything (I have heard of some cases still giving positive results up to 10 weeks later, so might be worth having one anyway? If that comes back negative could to afford an antibody test to see if you previously had covid and are suffering from after effects of covid (it would give you answers hopefully).

Thanks everyone, I've just ordered a home test, though like the last poster said I've had symptoms on and off for 5 weeks.

If that comes back negative I'll see if I can order an antibody test anywhere.

OP - I have those symptoms (although mine began this week). I went for a covid test yesterday to find out either way.

Has the gps done blood tests for your thyroid function? Sound like me when I'm overactive. Just a thought.

I believe I had covid19 in April and so did my doctor, it was circulating in my neighbourhood, but testing wasn't available then to the general public. I had the symptoms you listed above, and others, but I only had a cough very early on and that only lasted a few hours and at the time I thought it wasn't related. Also had loss of smell and taste, which was very noticable.

As the symptoms started to lessen, I then had mouth ulcers and yes definitely tinnitus. Those were the last symptoms

Back then the only symptoms described by Gov't were cough and fever, but these had passed very quickly and it wasnt until my doctor told me to isolate, because of my neighbourhood, that I realised I'd probably had it.

Looking back what was strange was that one symptom would pass, in a day or even by the hour, but then another would start and so on. I still get slight tinnitus now, but its going

periods from hell
...Just seen this. Is this pain in the lower back? Because I also had a kidney infection. My doctor was really good and on the ball within back in April, because at the time it was only thought to affect the throat and lungs but it's now known that it can affect other parts of the body. I also had really bad headaches

4 in family of 6 had symptoms all different. No coughs. Only one had high fever. 3 had ongoing symptoms for upto 3 months. Very intermittent.

I'm at 4 months still with symptoms.

OP - your symptoms sound very similar to my symptoms over the last 3 weeks. But I have been ill since March and the symptoms seem to change a lot. Started with what I thought was a UTI but in tests no infection has ever shown up. I have had a cough and sore throat on and off, and thought my sense of taste was diminished for a while. I've had three coronavirus tests, but as they were all self tests I think the accuracy is questionable. One GP I spoke to suspected CV but I was questioned by someone at the Urgent treatment centre who disagreed as I wasn't coughing or feeling hot at that precise moment. Three other family members have also had an assortment of aches and pains, nausea and fatigue. But all negative tests.
