Hey everyone I had minor aches and a tickle in my throat on 29.8.21. Lft came back positive so I went for a pcr test 30.8.21 which has came back positive. My head is pounding and I feel shortness of breath every now and again with my asthma. Can anyone else tell me the timeline of their days with Covid and how they felt each day please. Did you get worse before you got better.

Obviously everyone is different but we all had a couple of rough days and then were ok.

I found the head cold awful. Then coughed for a few weeks and was really really tired. Felt pretty rough for about 2/3 days but the rest I worked through (at home). Also double jabbed.

I felt rough for 4 days, first 2 I couldn't do much at all, now I'm feeling loads better, still tired and snuffly (day 6) but definitely feeling better.
Plenty of fluids (cliché I know but it works!) And paracetamol regularly. Today is first day I've not had a headache.
Also double vaccinated.
Get well soon 💐

I hadn't been vaccinated when I had it, but for the first week it was just like a heavy cold, I felt rough, but no worse than a bad cold. The second week it was like the hangover fron hell that never ended. The nausea and headache that nothing would touch. Everyday I thought I'd feel better by morning but didn't.

About another 3 weeks before I actually felt back to normal. Very tired for a while.

Double jabbed mine started the same. Felt like a cold. Felt pretty normal by day 7 so went back to work day 11. Sadly now day 13 I feel absolutely awful and it was clearly a false sense of security.
