Gastric symptoms and rash?

Hi all,
Anyone experienced this as symptoms? A little headachey too.

I had this and still have rashes that come and go. However not confirmed as my result was affected by that testing centre. I had tummy ache, loose stools, mild headache, sore throat, woke up feeling hot and times where I felt breathless. Also a cough that was quite mild.

Yes at the beginning. Other symptoms developed later. Positive LFT and positive PCR

I had that over NY 2020-21. Awful gastric symptoms that took weeks to resolve and a terrible rash for 24 hours that was insanely itchy until it just disappeared completely. Some fever, some headaches. 2 negative pcrs said no covid though!

I want to take a PCR but H would rather I didn’t. We will have issues with childcare/school runs for our child with special needs, if positive.

Seriously? What if you are positive and pass it on, that will affect more people.

I know, I’m very careful about this usually

Also around family member who is vulnerable

I think H thinks I’m over cautious

Yes my 5yo DD. She had a fever too but also vomiting and a rash

Lifeispassingby · 29/11/2021 18:39

If H thinks you’re over cautious then no harm in doing PCR then is there?

Blossom4538 · 29/11/2021 18:39

I had Covid in Sept so unlikely, but possible

OP posts:
Blossom4538 · 29/11/2021 18:41

I don’t know how DD will get to school if I’m positive. It’s complicated, with her special needs.

But yes, I don’t want to spread covid

Have you done a LFT, you could start with that. Technically what you describe are not the official symptoms. I think we need more people being over cautious to be honest, at least to get us through winter.

stopringingme · 29/11/2021 19:04

You need to get a test - I have just looked at the leaflet given by my DD's special school and a rash and diarrhoea are both symptoms of Covid.
As well as headache - don't take the chance of spreading it - get a test at a test centre and hopefully your DD can go back to school as soon as you get the results.

Blossom4538 · 29/11/2021 19:21

Yes, I’m going to get tested.

Thanks!

LFT negative, but when I was ill and had a positive PCR in Sept, not once did u show positive on LFT!

Do you think your symptoms could be a flare up or relapse? Twice since having what I think was covid, I’ve had 2 episodes of tummy pains nausea and headaches and rash. I’ve also had shingles 😳. Would be interesting if someone else has experienced similar

Blossom4538 · 29/11/2021 20:57

Oh no, poor u!
I’m not sure, I guess it could be?! I’ve been so run down since.

OP posts:
Blossom4538 · 30/11/2021 15:53

I’ve taken a PCR today.
Oh my goodness, rash is so itchy and when I lie down, I feel prickly from head to toe! Stomach better but now have sore throat and cough.

OP posts:
Blossom4538 · 04/12/2021 19:47

It was negative.
I’m now on day 7 of being ill and feel like death warmed up! So achey.
