Coronavirus or Norovirus?

[OllietheOwl]

Woke up this morning with tummy cramps and diarrhoea. Have felt shitty all day and now have the chills and aching bones. It feels like when I had norovirus before.
Anyone else had symptoms that started like this then tested positive?

*raises hand

All of the above was soon joined by a crushing headache that lasted for days on end. I hope you feel better soon.

Could be either

You have a temperature so can legitimately ask for a test

Feel better

There is a GI version of covid

But if you don't have the three symptoms listed on the 'request' page, you're not meant to get a test.

I haven’t got a temperature. Can taste food and not really coughing - I mean I’ve coughed once or twice but nothing I’d say is persistent.
Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow otherwise it’s going to be a very shitty Christmas!

I have covid just now and there's certainly a gastric element. Ive not felt this unwell for a long time....actually not since i had norovirus about 15 years ago, i reckon that was worse if im honest. 😱

Get a test if you can face going out.
