… what symptoms do you have?

I’m on day 3 and have had none of the three official symptoms, but muscle aches, fatigue and bizarrely, excessive thirst yesterday and then today a really dodgy stomach, mild sore throat and classic cold symptoms (sneezing, snotty etc).

Anyone have the same? Other than the sore throat, it doesn’t seem like it matches what I’ve read are typical Omicron symptoms, let alone Delta x

Early night last night, woke up absolutely drenched in sweat plus bad dreams. I was also still exhausted this morning. But am single mum to 2 young kids so not that unusual. Their dad came to pick them up (prearranged) for the day. I had breakfast when they left and couldn't taste it. Did a test, negative. Went back to bed and fell asleep til 2! Did another test, positive.

Feel exhausted with muscle aches mainly. Also headache, bit of a cough and mild fever. The aching and tiredness is horrendous.

4yo DS2 has been off preschool with spiking temps for the last week. He has tested negative throughout though I'm assuming he has it. 7yo DS1 also negative

Not looking forward to next few days having to look after kids by myself 🙁 I'm very glad they aren't babies anymore.

Off to sleep again now.

@MissWired

Been feeling knackered for over a week now but put it down to toothache.

Started with a slight sore throat / headache yesterday at work then nearly fainted in the office. Felt a bit better today but have now started with full on cold symptoms. Surprised to see positive test as no fever or cough.

The worst thing for me is raging sinus pain which is causing toothache in ALL my teeth now. Slight loss of taste and smell but no more so than with other colds I've had.heafache

Urgh....

Yes! I also got tooth pain. It was so bizarre

What it is with the bad dreams and night sweats. Having both here

I've had a mix bag of symptoms,

Day 1: debilitating headache and body aches plus vomiting (thought had serious stomach bug)
Day 2: still crippling headaches and back pain, plus muscle aches and fever, chills and nausea
Day 3: headache still present, fever and chills plus nausea and cough
Day 4: headache milder, muscle aches not as bad, slight nauseous, cough present and feel completely wiped out
Day 5: sudden awful back and leg pain, still fatigued and cough
Day 6: back and leg pain at unbearable level
Day 7: pain slightly calmer, dizzy, fatigued and just generally exhausted, cough possibly easing too

I really am hoping it is all wrapping up now for me, can't do much though, not sure how long I'll feel exhausted for.

ItMustBeBedtimeSurely · 14/03/2022 09:20

Day 1-2 mild cough, felt like a cold coming on
Day 3 - annoying cough, muzzy head
Day 4 (today) - feel pretty much fine, still coughing a bit

Wailywailywaily · 14/03/2022 09:31

I'm day 7 and still positive, its so annoying as I've been 100% for 3 days.
Mine started with a very bad headache and generally feeling poorly. My worst symptom has been the muscle aches that even woke me up at night it was so painful.
Irritating cough.
I'm not particularly fatigued.
No fever or chills.

BigButtons · 14/03/2022 10:20

Day 3 for me and I seem to be getting worse.
Chest is ok but my throat is so sore and I cough up infected tasting mucus.
Constant runny nose, sneezing, stomach ache, fever, chills, stabbing pains all over, even my toes and fingers hurt. I can barely walk or sit up.
My mum has terminal cancer and I obviously can’t go and support her .
I am triple vaaxed. I want it to go away.

WLAH · 14/03/2022 14:33

Day 5 woke diarrheoa at 6am. Was fine then just a stuffed nose til 12 ish. Then vomit and diarrheoa at the same time now dizzy /lightheaded

Twentyn1ne · 14/03/2022 15:13

Started off late last week, just feeling really tired and generally ill.

Boiling hot then freezing cold in the night. Shivers. Horrific dreams. My whole body ached, especially limbs.

I'm day 5ish now and I have loose bowels plus feel so lightheaded and dizzy. I've had a few coughs here and there but by no means bad or continuous. I just feel so weak. Really tired eyes. Things taste off.

Frosty1000 · 14/03/2022 15:35

So had a bad head last Thursday,my son comes home from school clearly poorly. Friday, he gets a positive, Friday evening, I don't leave the loo as horrendous stomach and diarrhoea. Saturday, still negative but a definite cold by evening, tired all day and ache. Sunday positive.

No idea what day I call what! But feel 💩, exhausted, still a stuffy nose, breathless, a few aches and not a continuous cough so my main issue is tiredness I'd say.

HappeeinParis · 14/03/2022 15:37

I've had covid recently, luckily mild (second time round for me).

As well a cold symptoms, I had occasional sharp stomach pains.

OrlandointheWilderness · 14/03/2022 15:42

I tested positive sat afternoon. Today is my worse day so far, headache, cough, stuffy, sneezing, aching and exhausted. Taste gone funny.

MoodySky · 14/03/2022 15:42

Day 3 - runny nose, sneezing, headache, fatigue.

BigButtons · 14/03/2022 15:55

I have a dodgy tummy too. No continuous cough or loss of taste/smell though.

I could have written the last paragraph. My tea tasted yuck this morning also.
SweetsAndChocolates · 14/03/2022 19:28

After reading the replies, looks like loose bowels is part of it all Sad

Melroses · 14/03/2022 19:43

Day 12. Feel OK though a bit tired off and on - can't do much anyway as I am still trying not to pass it on to DH.

Still testing positive Angry

WLAH · 14/03/2022 20:03
