Experiences with Omicron Covid

[Mumoblue]

I’m currently isolating after testing positive, and I’m on day 4 of symptoms, though day 1 was just a mild sore throat.

I’ve googled and it does seem like it can last from a week to longer, but I thought I’d just get peoples general experiences with when you started to feel better.
I’m a single mum to a 2 year old and I feel terrible that I have no energy to play with him.
I’ve got a cough and a runny nose/leaky eyes and I’m exhausted.
I was double vaxxed already and I had my booster a week before I got Covid.
If you have had what you suspect to be Omicron- or the more “cold like” type of covid- when did you start feeling better?

For me the worst of the physical symptoms were over by day six- however, and it is a big however, the exhaustion and dizziness went on and on. I tried to return to work on day 11 and was off again on day 12. I also had a secondary infection in my sinuses. I have only just regained full feeling in my legs.

@BigButtons hope ur ok! My legs have been suoer painful xx

Day 1 really sore dry throat strong positive lft
Day 2 feeling like loads of gunk back of throat, fever, chills , nose like tap, really tired
Day 3, today, felt a bit better then this evening its come on again with bad bunged up nose, feel OK in self, taste gone also. Strong positive on lft

Really anxious over it but trying to keep distracted
I'm.also taking 4 tsp of manuka honey each day and I believe its helped my throat definitely. Hugs to all

DH: flu like symptoms, lasted ten days, was very rough
DS: 24hrs of high temp, aches & pains, thought I would have to take him to A&E, next day got up like nothing was ever wrong
DD: low level symptoms for 5 days, tested negative, back to school, then needed two more days off following week with symptoms again
Me... still covid free two years on 💪🏻

Heavy headache on the day I tested positive. Cold symptoms were very mild (I've had horrible colds in the past). However, sinus pain was ongoing, didn't like that.
