Tested positive Friday, been ok till last night where I feel cold but temperature isn't classed as a temperature. 37.6. Feeling like I have a really bad cold and cough.

Daughter tested positive on the Tuesday, only symptom occasionally sneezing and a temperature one morning.

When did it peak for you?
& what were your symptoms?

I'm currently on day 3, this is my second bout of Covid - the first was in November. So far with both: cough, sore throat, congestion, sneezing, chills, muscle aches, headache, fatigue. The first time around I had partial loss of taste and complete loss of smell, stomach symptoms and sore eyes. This time I felt very dizzy, but not since day one.

My daughter is day 4 I think
She's 6
Dry cough and vomiting only.
Positive PCR. Lft negative still

I suspect my nine month old has it to .
Snotty nose and very congested and a wet productive cough

My mum just had it she's 56 and triple vaxxed
She had a high temperature, headaches, sore throat, cough and sneezing and very congested. She described it as feeling flu like.
She's feeling better now after 8 days and was negative on lft after day 5

Day 4 for me. Started feeling very tired, for a couple of days early last week fell asleep and nearly missed school run.
Day1- whooshing in ears, tired and a fuzzy head
Day 2- tired and strange taste
Day 3- slight cold and cough that turned into full cold and husky voice
Day 4- sore, raspy throat, sneezing, cough and heavy cold

Toddler- 24 hours of temperature, tummy ache and strange rash on legs

I felt at my worst around day 9. Started with a mild sore throat and slight headache with an occasional cough.

I felt worse days 2-5, my symptoms were d&v then a heavy cold before testing positive. Then after I had I wasn't particularly bothered by the cold or the minor cough but oh my days I just ached, felt exhausted and just couldn't get rid of the fog.

Day 7 now, my line is getting fainter and whilst still there, the tiredness is not as bad.

DS had a very high temperature, 41 and a cold/cough. He's still tired but bounced back within days. He didn't test negative until this morning, his day 9.

I tested positive today. I've been feeling a bit weak/out of it, tired, sore, coughing loads, sneezing, and toilet issues

Thethreecs · 20/03/2022 19:35

I'm day 4 but have symptoms 6 days. Having read on here about it feeling like a cold or flu I'm saying bullshit, each day is getting worse, I've the worst cough that I have to hold my chest and lean forward because of upper back pain from coughing, I've v&d, so bad that it's coming out without any effort, my throat has swelled so bad that I can't eat, the headaches are relentless, my face feels like a bus ran over it. This is nothing like a cold or flu.

Oh gosh! I’m still negative on ltf but have been a close contact and my symptoms are runny nose, very raspy sore scratchy hot throat, burning wet feeling in ears, headache, so tired, and a bit fuzzy headed. I hate being ill so am not a great patient.

frenchiemummy92 · 20/03/2022 20:34

@Thethreecs you sound like you've got it really bad. Hope you feel better soon.

I've slept since DP got in from work. Still feeling rubbish.

Day 5 fatigue but feel pretty OK
Day 6 fatigue but feel pretty much back to my old self, if tired. Still testing positive though.

I can't take sick leave so back to work tomorrow. 😩 WFH so plan to do as much as I can from the sofa. I'm wiped out. I'm also triple jabbed, FWIW.

On day 3 here and feeling shit.

Day 1 - woke feeling achy and slightly breathless. Got worse through the day with a sudden onset if a headache.

Day 2 - dry cough and cold symptoms

Day 3 - totally bunged up with worst cold like symptom and a bad dry cough. Woke with a nose bleed

Ive managed to avoid it fir 2 years even when others in the house were positive and cant believe how much it has hit me despite being young and healthy.

DS4 has cold symptoms / bunged up but otherwise fine
