What WERE your symptoms?

I have ordered a home test kit. Symptoms - lethargy, a bit of a cough (but not continuous), severely itchy throat that turned into a sore, burning throat, random pains in my arms, legs and chest.

Chest feels a bit tight too.

Please note that Lateral Flow kits are not as accurate as PCR Swab tests. The blood test IgG/IgM antibody one's I have are most accurate in 10-14 day range after infection but are unlikely to detect anything in the first 5 days of infection.

Headache, sore throat, snotty nose. Then upset stomach, heartburn, tiredness. Bit like a hangover tbh. I lost taste and smell about a week in. No cough, no fever.

My starting symptoms were dry cough, headache, a touch of sinus pain, and tiredness.

Got my positive result back today (day 3) Headache has gone. Cough settled a bit but have sore kidneys, sore eyes and mental fatigue. Feel shattered.

My sense of smell is ok and no fever yet

An extremely achy knee (only one!) and stuffy nose, just like you'd get at the beginning of a cold.

My young adult son had a really bad sore throat.
