Omicron - which day is worst?

21 replies

KatieB55 · 29/01/2022 08:19

I've tested positive and have mild symptoms, now on day 3. Have runny nose, slight sore throat and slight nausea.
What day do worst symptoms tend to be? Should I expect this to get worse over days or do people mostly improve after a few days? No underlying health conditions. Thanks

I'm not sure but yesterday which was day 5 I think was actually pretty grim. Body and head like lead and felt freezing cold again.

WarriorN · 29/01/2022 08:28

Everyone different though. I've no tummy issues

My OH and I have the same symptoms but the kids were different

Dghgcotcitc · 29/01/2022 08:30

I mean it could get worse but currently in day five and day one the worst!

LeonoraFlorence · 29/01/2022 08:32

Currently on day 4 (I think!) and my main symptom (still) is an aching body, especially in the morning. As the day goes on I feel more and more exhausted but fighting through it as I have small DDs.

Bagelsandbrie · 29/01/2022 08:33

Days 3/4 were the worst for me. By about 5/6 I felt a lot better. I am triple jabbed and in the clinically extremely vulnerable group as well.

Thingsthatgo · 29/01/2022 08:44

Following this! I’m on day three, and other than a headache and sneezing, I feel ok. I am wondering if it’ll get worse.

Equimum · 29/01/2022 08:45

Here, it was day 1/2 for the children, day 3 for DH and day 4 for me. Probably not much help 😂!

Geminigal66 · 29/01/2022 10:40

Day 3 and 4..extreme lower back and hip pain..I'm on day 10 and back still not right..anyhow its freedom day for me tomorrow and back to work that day too!

beechie12 · 29/01/2022 10:42

I found day 2 and 3 the worst. But not that bad. Like a cold with gastritis

TheProvincialLady · 29/01/2022 10:43

For me it was day 7, after initially thinking I was through the worst and getting up and dressed on day 6. I recovered more or less completely a couple of days later though.

AlexandraEiffel · 29/01/2022 14:28

Day 1 but it wasn't so bad at any point

Delatron · 29/01/2022 14:35

Day 4/5 for me.
Felt ok on day 2 felt better on day 3 so thought I was done with it then had 4-5 days of feeling better then worse. Was better by day 9.

buckeejit · 29/01/2022 14:49

I'm on day 5 & feeling a little better but cautiously as heard of people having a better day & then worse.

Think it's different for everyone & if I waited for LFT I'd only be on 3.

I'm lucky I've been able to do nothing for the last 4 days so hoping to have a quick recovery fingers crossed

PinkPlantCase · 29/01/2022 14:54

I’m on day 3 today and feel shite. Very weak, achey and can’t stand up for too long otherwise I’m dizzy. And the classic runny nose with sneezes.

I’m triple jabbed and hoping it passes quickly.

PriamFarrl · 29/01/2022 14:57

I’m on day 3 and don’t feel too bad. I did have Covid original recipe just under a year ago though.

Nearlyadoctor · 29/01/2022 15:47

I’m day 4 and feeling really rubbish, constant cough runny nose and aching all over although as PP worse lower back and hip area. Dd is day 6 she was worst day 4 but hasn’t had a cough at all.

TheSnowyOwl · 29/01/2022 15:52

Bizarrely day 10 and counting for me.

crosbystillsandmash · 29/01/2022 15:57

I was really grotty from day 3 to 7 and then started to feel better. Day 9 I suddenly plummeted and now today, day 10 I feel worse than ever 😩
My isolation has ended but I'm back in bed!

buckeejit · 29/01/2022 17:01

I'm treating feeling better like fools spring until after day 10 at least & don't plan anything energetic until then.

I cleared out one little bedside drawer today & that's more than enough for now!

WarriorN · 29/01/2022 17:29

Day 5 and definitely better but youngest who brought us this delightful present seems to be increasingly grumpy today, I think he's day 9 ish. He's been fine for the last few days.

It's reminding me of how he was as he got better from chicken pox; I was warned there's a day when they're v grumpy.

Bailey48 · 29/01/2022 17:45

I have had all these symptoms for 2 days and feel awful different to when I have a cold tested 3 times all negative !!!
