Do you always get a temperature?

[ThistlesAndUnicorns]

I have been knocked for 6 with some sort of virus. Lateral flow is negative but I know they're not always reliable so I've ordered a home testing kit which is yet to arrive.

I don't have a temperature though so wondering how likely it is covid? I've never felt so bad but after socially distancing etc for all this time I may just have a weak immune system.

No not everyone gets a temperature

Ds didn’t have a temperature or any symptoms at all

Thank you. I just feel a bit of a drama queen but I genuinely feel terrible. I'm half hoping it is covid because if it's just a common cold I don't know how I'll cope if I do get it!

No, I have covid, no temperature, no cough, LFT was negative, PCR positive.
Headache and sore throat were my symptoms.

First time I had covid I had every symptom in the book except for a temperature. I felt like I had one (or was shivering and freezing cold) but temp remained bw 36.5 and 37.7 whole way through.

I currently have covid, I did lateral flows for a week and even past getting a positive PCR result and they were always negative.
I haven't had any of the 3 main symptoms at all. I've had a bad headache and been exhausted.

I had no temp and negative LFTs

I didn’t have a temperature, cough or loss of taste or smell. Just felt a bit groggy, stuffy nose, mild sore throat and no energy.

DS and I didn't have a temperature at any point. DP did

Thank you. I got my home test through today so hopefully get the result tomorrow. If it's not that it's flu, it's been awful. Couldn't get a telephone appointment with the doctor, they said call back on Monday.
