I've had a banging headache since Fri night.
Yesterday I started feeling sick as in naseaus and then my bones felt that tingly way as if I was about to get unwell.
Today I'm not 100% but nothing major.
My ex husband has just called to say his house mate has tested positive and our kids have been there, they stay 2 nights a week so have probably had plenty exposure to virus.
I try not and go into the house for drops and pick ups
Just ordered the testing kits but we are 2 weeks in isolation regardless

Started with a sore throat and muscle chills. Progressed to being very very tired, then noticed DDs new shampoo and conditioner absolutely reeked of chemicals (it didn't) and that chocolate tasted disgusting. Felt very snuffly but didn't have a blocked nose - more like my nose had swollen up inside.
After about a week (around the time everything started to taste disgusting) I got suspected pneumonia and was bedbound for a week and had a dreadful fever and awful night sweats. Couldn't stand up as was too dizzy, could barely sit up, felt the most dreadful I ever had.
About a week of that and then over the course of a day or two I recovered.
I was only tested when things started tasting funny because I never coughed and had no fever in the beginning so I was almost a week in at that point but we took my first start date as the date of my test for isolation purposes (but then backdated it for contact tracing!)
I never coughed unless I was steaming (recommended by the doctor to clear lungs) and the fever wasn't ever over 40 degrees but it was constant. I went through boxes of paracetamol trying to keep it down.
Never lost sense of taste or smell but everything was off and even now I can't eat certain foods without a lingering foul taste in my mouth.
Oh and at about the same time I tested positive I stopped eating - I had absolutely no desire for food at all
