What was your first symptom with omicron ?

[Jenhahaton9]

Interested to hear & then how did it progreee ?

An awful sore throat, then a slight temperature and that was it really. Nothing like my symptoms was like with what I'm assuming would have been delta last year.

A banging headache that woke me up at 4am 😩

Headache and nausea.

I had a dry feeling in my throat and chest but I thought it was down to my son turning the heating up really high as the heating always affects me.

Day 1. Woke up the next morning feeling the same and with a thick head, did a test and it was positive.
I felt alright all day until 6ish, not 100% but no worse than when I woke and my head had cleared, but then it suddenly got worse. I had a headache, my eyes hurt, had shooting pains in my legs, my nose was blocked and I was shivering.
I fell asleep around 8pm, woke up 3 hours later and felt almost back to normal.

Day 2 I felt fine apart from a tingly nose.

Day 3 a little tired but okay

Day 4 as day 3.

Day 5 tiredness came in waves and I lost taste and smell.

Day 6 tired at times

Day 7 tired at times

Day 8 tired at times but taste and smell started to return, had a negative test.

Throat seemed swollen, not sore or itchy though and I had a bit of a thick head.

Pounding head that just felt "weird", it had no basis. I'd already had a runny nose for two days but didn't think anything of that as I do generally catch seasonal colds. But the headache led me to test.

This was followed by 24 hours of "flu" - body shivers and weird joint aches.

This was followed by 48 hours of extreme fatigue, like the follow-up of flu. Think blankets, bowls of soup, but you can make it downstairs.

This was followed by 4 days of fatigue with a thick head, able to function but not able to plan or multi-tasks. 3pm naps and early nights.

This was followed by 7 days of a clear head but still tired.

And one final blast of extreme fatigue, taking to bed for a few hours on one mid-afternoon (after a week of not needing a nap) before waking to feel as though I've finally shrugged it off.

DH followed the exact same pattern, including the final blast. Neither of us had any of the three classic Covid symptoms (temperature, cough, loss of smell/taste).

I’m on day 7, woke up with raging thirst at 4am, feeling rough still with sinus pain and fatigue, throat still feels closed up and head hurts. Fed up with it now, I want to hug my kids again!
