So fed up now of these symptoms. Support thread for those needing to moan about non-covid covid :)

I think this is week 3 now. Dd tested positive last Monday but was symptomatic on the Friday but negative on PCR. I only tested her as ds was so bad with a cough and fever. Ds was really bad with a cough and sneezing and high fever. I started off with a sore throat, headache, bit of snot, bit of a cough, bit of a fever but nothing to make me ill as such. I've got worse as the dc have got better and am now chesty, coughy, tight chest, knackered, full of snot, bad head, congestion and feel like shit. Latest PCR on Friday was negative. I've started steroids for my asthma as my inhalers aren't very effective at the moment and will be speaking to the GP tomorrow in case I've now got a chest infection. I thoroughly fed up.
Please come moan with me so that this misery has company

I had the ' can't believe its not covid ' three weeks ago. Now have actual covid and so far its not as bad as I can't believe its not covid. Though Day 5 and my throat is starting to burn.

@whatswithtodaytoday people test positive after drinking orange juice on a LF so not sure that’s true. 😂

The instructions tell you not to eat or drink beforehand.

Covid test has finally come back and it's negative. I'm half way through a course of antibiotics and have had a week of steroids now but my chest is still dreadful. I'm seeing the GP again later. I remember flu being like this when I had it as a child so I guess it's flu

I've got more steroids and have been given double the dose of antibiotics snd had my inhalers increased too. There were rumblings of a hospital assessment but I've been given a day or so to feel better before they make good on that threat. I'm sure I'll be grand after some sleep.
How is everyone else with no -covid doing? There's so much of it about it's unreal.
