If you've had Covid in the last fortnight, what were your symptoms?

Hi,
Just wondering how severely ill most people have been with covid (particularly Omicron) in the last couple of weeks. I know there is some discussion of Omicron being milder but there's a difference between being really quite ill but just not needing hospital treatment versus just having cold symptoms.

I tested positive last Thursday & it’s been like a heavy cold. Thick head, sore throat, cough and switching between blocked & runny nose. For the first day or two I just wanted to sleep, but I felt well enough to WFH on Monday.

First 2 days - in bed with sore throat, terrible headaches and lower back pain, felt quite fluey and struggled to sleep at night. Next 3 days - felt much better but had really weird sensitive skin that was sore to touch and generally achy all over. From day 6 I've been back to normal although from day 7 I've had a very mild cold which is still lingering. Positive test was early Feb and I'm unvaccinated.

Bit of a headache, bit of a cough, slightly queasy feeling (not enough to put me off food). All over in 3 days.

DH started off with a tickly throat, by the time he tested positive 1.5 days later, he had full blown cold symptoms - sneezing, coughing, legs hurt, insomnia.

I started off with a scratchy throat and it took 2.5 days to test positive. I mainly had headache, felt a bit sick (but strangely ravenous the first three days), insomnia and brain fog.

We both managed to get up and had a shower most days, but the first five days we had to force ourselves to get up for drinks/food.

On day 6, we both felt a bit better and I managed to cook roast potatoes and salmon - prior to that it was heating up soup, ready meal or something out of the freezer with just peas (we couldn't stand for too long messing about prepping veg).

Sore throat for two days, tight chest and breathless for a few days. Nothing else. Bit lethargic but not hugely.

Fever, headache, chills, joint and muscle pain, loss of appetite, on and off nasal congestion, hoarse, sore throat, early waking and cannot get back to sleep (bizarre, I know), diarrhoea, mild breathlessness on exertion, some productive cough. Day 7 almost lost sense of taste and smell. Three days in bed due to fever and pain.

Triple vaccinated. Positive LFT on day 3
