A few weeks ago both dh and I were slightly unwell. Both of us had sore throats, runny noses, sneezing, slightly tight chest, fatigue and a strange symptom of really sore backs and legs. It lasted about a fortnight. It was unusual as we hardly ever have colds.

We didn't have any COVID tests as we didn't have coughs, temps or lose taste/smell. We did instinctively isolate.

Reading a couple of threads here - I've noticed a few posts complaining of a similar backache.

This has got me thinking - of people who tested positive, what symptoms did you experience?

I started with headache and temp, achy, back pain. After positive test, around day 3, diarrhoea, cough and Chest tightness. Taste went around day 3-4.

This is really interesting and a bit worrying.
I’ve had a scratchy throat when I swallow on and off for a couple of days, I’m really tired and have the occasional dizzy spell. This morning I woke up to horrible back pain that seemed to radiate through to my stomach but that passed and now I keep sneezing and feel a bit head coldy and like I’m run down or coming down with something. I’ve also had a mild upset stomach.
It didn’t actually occur to me it could be Covid as I haven’t got a temp or cough and I have my taste and smell still.

Get tested. Sounds like Covid to me.
