What was your first symptom with omicron ?

[Jenhahaton9]

Interested to hear & then how did it progreee ?

On the Wednesday I had an absolutely banging headache (which I don't know if it was related or not) last Friday night I felt super tired and was really cold. Then woke up at 2am on Saturday with a really sore throat. Test positive right away at the point. (Negative with the headache on Wednesday and tested on the Thursday). Then turned into a really bad cold, tired, snotty, cough. Feel better now, still testing positive though. Isolation finishes Tuesday.

Hoarse voice

Sore throat.

That's pretty much what it remained as - felt like tonsillitis and the inside of my cheeks were swollen.

Sounded very nasally but wasn't too bunged up and nose ran for a few hours

Day 1 - Headache and backache, day 2 - headache and fever.

Nothing other than a positive line on lateral flows, which I did because my baby had a mild fever and she tested positive. No symptoms at all until almost 3 weeks later where I have brain fog on some days, not sure if covid or the fact I’ve been stuck indoors for 10 days and just need to get active and get some fresh air. Really bizarre.

I had an iffy throat (which isn't uncommon for me, but negative LFT) - now realise this was day 0.

Day 1 - warm at work (everyone else saying the same so I ignored) and realised I was hot and tired walking home. Developed headache and felt a bit sick in evening. LFTs negative am and pm

Day 2 - had an awful night, bad head, feeling a bit sick and absolutely no sleep. LFTS negative am and pm

Day 3 - LFT positive. Headache went.

Days 4-6 , mixture of lethargy, insomnia, tiredness, sore cough, a pathetic cough. I've slept reasonably well the last couple of nights and feel more alert though.

DH -

Day 0 - scratchy throat LFT negative.

Day 1 - went to work, felt like he had a cold coming LFT negative

Day 2 - LFT positive. He came up to tell me (gets up earlier) and looked awful, red eyes, constantly sneezing and coughing for the next few days.

Day 6 - developed very sore throat and ulcers.

Had had insomnia throughout. He says he still feel bad, but has a touch of cabin fever (whereas I have no desire to go out at all).

This is useful

Sore throat here too.

Followed by what felt like the worst cold ever and then an awful cough which i still have 2 weeks later.

Mine was all over body chills. I was so cold. Had 3 blankets on and 2 hot water bottles

Mega tired and a fever.

Kid A had extreme exhaustion and a headache.

Kid B had a heavy cold.

Adult C just a bit tired and dozy.

I haven't had omicron but with delta it was exhaustion and scratchy throat. Which progressed to shortness of breath and general flueyness for a couple of days.

Sore throat so bad I had to get up to get pain killers progressed to bad cold symptoms including that dry Covid cough. I am at day 5 and it is easing off

Headache.

Minor sore throat for two days
Then felt absolutely knackered, aching all over and couldn't concentrate, really bad back neck and leg pains, my nose started running like a tap and I was sneezing all the time,
got a really bad headache and fever then tested positive after four days of negatives.

Anyone have chest pain? This afternoon and evening I'm exhausted and my chest hurts as if I've got aching muscles. Negative LFT

The headache! It progressively got worse until I couldn't open my eyes (light sensitivity) or move my head for a couple of days. It was brutal.

Weird itchy fizzy feeling at back of nose.. Throat and ear canals.
Then insomnia and headache.
I'm day 3 and feel awful weird chesty cough

Actually reading through the comments I’ve realised I had the hoarse voice from 6 days before I finally tested positive. Thankfully I work from home!

Tickly throat that went to a bit of a temp and coughing a couple of times an hour.

headache and runny tummy.

A bit of a sore throat. That didn't really get worse, but progressed to bad cold symptoms and fatigue.

The kids and I all started with an upset stomach. Mine was then severe headache, aching in my back and bad throat. This was Tuesday and I didn't test positive on a lateral flow until the Sunday!

DS1 - headache and tummy ache that came on together.
DS2 - scratchy throat

Cough. Then runny nose. Then temp.

slight sore throat and dry cough, with mild fatigue. Later on felt mildly feverish and then didn't sleep until 6am the following morning
