Hi everyone,
Just wondered if there was anyone else currently with Covid, I suffer from anxiety and sitting alone in my room isolating really isn't helping. Im only on day 2.
So far I've had a very sore throat and my nose feels slightly congested.
I would love to have a covid pal to get through these difficult and lonely few days. GrinWink

First day of isolation. Awful cough and tired. This is maybe a stupid question but I can't find guidance where I am on this. Not UK.

Would you wash bedding every day? I'm on my own so think not but also don't want to keep it circulating. I'm supposed to isolate until symptoms are gone and no less than 4 days. Thanks for any advice. Hope you all feel better soon.

Day 3. Thought I was immune as I've survived the past 2 years and my children having it. Hit me worse than I expected. Temperature. Sweats. Shivers. Aching legs. Emotional meltdowns. Have a productive cough but not too bad which, as an asthmatic, I'm relieved about. Hoping to wake up feeling much better. Tested today and line is very thick and dark.

Day 5 here - managed to avoid it for 2 years, got a new job and caught it within a month!
Felt a bit better this morning so took another LFT but the positive line flashed up immediately. The NHS Covid app is telling me I can stop isolating tomorrow though?!
Not that I even feel well enough to go out 😞
I did find that using a humidifier helps my throat & cough though - but as soon as it's off my cough starts up again 🤦🏻‍♀️

Tested positive this morning but I'm on Day 3 of symptoms. First time for me.

Felt like I was going to vomit for the past 48 hours and have had the worst diarrhoea which is still going. Thought it was something I had eaten, did a few LFT and they were negative. Felt a bit shivery last night and cramps have been awful. Woke up this morning with more diarrhoea, but a bit of a headache and sore throat and did another LFT and it came up positive straight away.

Don't feel that bad, in fact, if I could stop shitting I'd probably just feel like a mild cold - so far. Fully expect it to get worse.

Toddler also likely has it but I've not tested.

I'm on day 16. Been negative for about a week. Very tired still, but the worst thing, and this is gross... is that my snot smells vile. It's been like this for five days now. Anyone else has this? Any tips? I've tried decongestants in both pill and nasal spray form...

Thought I had managed to escape but covid finally got me this week!

Have had symptoms for 5 days with negative lft until last night when it was very positive.
Day 1 of symptoms, sore scratchy throat and headaches
Day 2 really bad sore throat, sinus pressure and snotty nose, temp overnight
Day 3 mild cough, no sore throat, snotty still
Day 4 mild cough and snotty and tired
Day 5/ day 0 of lft I actually felt better today and didn't cough a lot but by the evening my eyes were really sore, coughing and then pain between all my ribs overnight
Day 6 today / day 1 of lft - feel nauseous, watery eyes, jaw pain? Which is random, runny nose and very tired
Oh also been sneezing lots for a few days but not sure when that started!

How is everyone else feeling atm?

my first message was in ref to LouA10 sorry. Didn’t realise I had to use quote

There are now so many large ads in the way all the time I’m finding this site no longer manageable on my phone. It’s hard to see the actual posts through all the ads.
