Just tested positive - loss of taste only

I'm about 15 minutes post test, only tested because I noticed my sense of taste had gone, pinged up positive straight away. I'm really surprised as I feel completely, 100% well. Did anybody else start like this? Just interested to know how you got on and wondering what to expect...

My daughter. She is only 10. Positive lateral flow. She could still smell but sense of taste completely gone. She also has a tickly throat and this has all progressed to a low fever and a headache.
That is it so far. She tested positive on Saturday. Her sense of taste has already started to come back. She can taste a little now.

Oh and now she has a cold.

The cold came on today.

I felt really cold and shivery when I decided to do a test, which came up positive straight away. I must admit I felt a bit worried on what to expect. The day after my legs ached, and I felt tired, and thats all really. Today is my 11 th day, and just had the 2nd negative test, but full of cold now! Hope your ok .
