Has anyone had Covid and just felt rubbish with a sore throat?

[Loustew12]

I have done a lateral flow and have tested negative. Don't really have the main covid symptoms so wondering if this is maybe Omicron, and maybe just not picked up by the lateral flow?

I had 2 negative lft’s followed by a positive pcr, sore throat and all my symptoms point to omicron. Sore throat gone very quickly and only remaining symptom is a continuous cough (this developed later)

I had a very strong positive lft followed by a positive PCR
I'm currently on day 3. Yesterday has been the worst so far with a tickly nose and throat. I also had a sore back, hips and tummy.
I now feel absolutely fine. Obviously I don't know what's to come yet.

I felt really thirsty and a slight sore throat Wednesday , had a positive lateral flow thurs morn followed by positive pcr taken that afternoon. I've felt fine since, a bit achy like I've been in the gym but nothing that would stop me just getting on. I keep forgetting I have it, I fancied going out for a swim earlier then remembered I can't leave the house!! No one else in the household has got it yet even tho we haven't isolated from each other.

Ah, all sounds similar. I was feeling a bit underconfident with the lateral flows but sounds like almost everyone had a positive LF before PCR.

Sore throat here. Negative LFTs daily (due to visiting others). Got a PCR on day 3 of sore throat as had been close contact of a positive case. Positive PCR.

I've got a intense sore throat in the morning and night, but of a runny nose and annoying coughing attacks that come on suddenly, had the sore throat for 5 days now and not even a hint of a line on lateral flows. Now I'm coughing I've booked a pcr for tomorrow... But my children have also been ill but all had negative lateral flows too. We have had many many colds since September though and done a pcr with every one and it has always been negative...

Someone I know had a horrendous sore throat as a first symptom (tonsillitis level sore throat) - tested negative on multiple LFT but went for a PCR to make sure , that came back positive. Other symptoms like tiredness and headache followed a day or two later. She never had a positive LFT which I find really worrying now

2 of my sisters and I all tested positive.
One has no symptoms at all only got PCR as close contact which was positive all LFTs have been negative before and after

the other had a sore throat, headache, temperature and sore back- it never really changed from this. showed positive on LFT and then positive on PCR

I had aches all over, sore head (nothing too bad) sore eyes, blocked nose then cough and then total loss of taste and smell (2 negative LFTs when symptoms were at their worst only got a positive LFT on day 3)

We're all double jabbed and I've had my booster too.

I had a sore throat and felt a bit rubbish for a couple of days, and then developed a cough - daily LFTs, and the ones I had been doing for for 3 or 4 days before getting symptoms were all negative. I went for a pcr when the cough started and was positive. So no positive LFT.

Positive PCR here on 29th, temp and gravelly throat for a couple of days but today touch wood feeling okay. It's just frustrating being stuck indoors
