And just not feeling 'right'?

I'm awaiting test results. The last contact I had with the positive case was over a week ago and I did test negative at the start of the week.

I feel like utter shit today. My head feels like it weighs about 2 stones, been getting awful pains in it like someone is squeezing a tight band around it. Have no energy and can't stop yawning.

No temperature, cough or loss of taste/smell. No cold symptoms. Makes me feel like it's unlikely to be covid?

Or am I just kidding myself? 😩

I'm feeling similar - fatigued, a banging headache, slight cough, but negative lateral flow test.

It's going around school but kids have had PCRs come back negative.

Not sure if it's worth getting a PCR myself as I don't generally go out to infect anyone else. Will see how I feel tomorrow.

Hi sorry but the main symptoms nowadays are headache, tiredness, runny nose. The zoe covid study group ( who were the ones who got the govt to add change to taste/smell to the list) have been banging on about it for months. Weekly you tube videos on it

Have you done lateral flow? Not always reliable but if positive then at least you possibly have your answer

Yea but I think there is a similar bug doing the rounds, I had this last week, took a pcr test and 4 of the home ones before hand and all negative. I had a headache, felt lethargic and nauseous and dizzy and had extreme fatigue. I do have thyroid issues but haven’t felt like that in. Long time, DS had the same thing at the beginning of the week gone, did a test on him and negative. It lasted 3 days...

Mines just come back as negative 🥳🥳.
So it’s back to work I go tomorrow and my holiday should be good for Sunday .

Yes.
I'm on day 8 of Covid. That's how mine started, followed by all the textbook symptoms.
I can no longer smell or taste.

Did you get your result, OP?
Been for a pcr and waiting to hear.
Feeling worse today than yesterday. Mainly fatigue but also chills and slight sore throat.

Willow231 · 27/09/2021 18:51

Yes, my test came back negative! Honestly I'm quite surprised with how ill I felt yesterday, but nevertheless am quite happy! Actually feeling much better today. Bodies are weird.

That's good news! Maybe another virus. Glad you're feeling better today

dearfanny · 28/09/2021 06:47

@Willow231 have done 2 lateral flows and negative

Been feeling off for about a week

TiddleTaddleTat · 28/09/2021 13:01

Pcr negative - must be another virus.
Feeing a little less fatigued today so hopefully it has passed.
