Can’t find anything similar so starting this in case it helps someone else.

Day 1-4 bad headache
Day 3-5 sore throat
A bit like the start of tonsillitis
Day 5-7 cough and immensely tired
Suspect asthma or chest infection
Very wheezy chest especially at night- continues until day 10 then the wheezing clears up
Day 6-7 on the sofa feeling just meh (weekend) and exhausted (way more than usual) Trouble sleeping, vomiting from coughing fits during the night despite sleeping propped up on many pillows
Day 8 bruised ribs but coughing stops
Fever and chills start
Feeling emotional
Manage 13 hours unbroken sleep
Day 9 positive lft after 5 days of negative lfts
Positive pcr
Loss of taste and smell
Day 9-14 chills and a fever, nausea, dizziness, sinus pain
Day 10 starving hungry
Day 11-12 can’t eat anything at all
Can’t sleep but headache goes
Fever and chills gone
Day 13 feeling a bit better, appetite returns but no taste or smell still
Day 14 fever and chills return
Dizziness and nausea return
Still exhausted despite only getting dressed once since day 9

Does this look similar to everyone else’s??
I thought I’d be on the mend by now but I’m on day 14 and am burning up again. I just want to feel normal.

Obvs I don’t know definitively when day 1 was but reflecting on how I felt, this is my guess as to when I started showing symptoms.

I had a fever for 14 days. Double AZ jabbed. Started like a cold with cough gradually dominating and some breathlessness. Then it faded away

DeborahAnnabel · 23/10/2021 23:11

I had some symptoms last weekend, light headed and a bt achey. PCR during the week confirmed it.
Felt that way until yesterday. Now feel broadly fine albeit a bit tired. Albeit with no taste.
I suppose I'm one of the lucky ones. Isolating in one's own home is a bit dull however.

Hope you feel better OP

Literally everyone seems to have it differently from what I hear from others.

I had day 1 sneezing, day 2 runny nose, day 3 and 4 headache and blocked nose, day 5 very slight cough, day 6-9 loss of smell and taste. Day 10 onwards completely fine except the very slight cough has lingered on and returns in the evening even now 2 months later. Never had a temperature at all.

This is completely different from how anyone else I know has experienced it.

Upupandiwent · 23/10/2021 23:24

I had similar to you, OP. Coughing so much I was sick. Temperature for first few days. Exhaustion and could barely walk upstairs. Splitting headaches first 2 days, then on and off, but came back with a vengeance days 9, 10, 11. Nausea. I just wanted to lie under the covers in a dark room. Never felt so ill for so long. I had Astra zeneca vaccines.
Day 14 now and just feeling tired now.

I forgot about the sneezing! Sneezing pre pcr and this morning I must have sneezed about 89 times. Since then no more sneezing but my wheezy chest is starting up again.
Trying not to be a hypochondriac, I am bored out of my brain yet can’t concentrate on anything even watching tv.

Also double jabbed. Should have put that in too sorry!

Day 1- 7 lethargy, muscle cramp
Day 8 OK still weak
Day 9 back to normal

wolfstarling · 23/10/2021 23:37

Day 1 thickly cough - for about an hour
Tested positive LFT day after then positive PCR

No other symptoms bar a couple of sneezes.

SuperDuperC · 23/10/2021 23:49

Would anyone mind saying if they're single or double jabbed or no jabs? Only if you want too, I think I'm getting symptoms and have only one jab so far (due to health reasons it was delayed) thanks all x

wolfstarling · 23/10/2021 23:56

Double jabbed was due a booster infection mid infection.

SuperDuperC · 23/10/2021 23:59

Really interesting, back in May I suffered from vertigo for about a week, couldn't get out of bed. So unexplained and weird, I also had swollen toes! I think now these may have been symptoms but I stupidly never tested as they weren't common 🤦🏻‍♀️

wolfstarling · 24/10/2021 00:13

Yes forgot Covid toes! Day 3-7

FancySomeChips · 24/10/2021 00:24

Haven’t had COVID toes, but dizziness and vertigo def have.
