Hi
I caught Covid for the first time in mid Feb. Symptoms weren't too bad - although I definitely knew I had a virus and cleared for the most part after about 10 days but since then I have been hit with one thing after another. Firstly a really heavy cold which was worse than Covid and now something that I think is adenovirus - with catarrh, tickly sore throat and barking cough alongside an upset tummy and fatigue. Is this normal and when will I stop getting ill - does anyone know?!

Omg I came on here because I feel totally exhausted and nearly threw up In Sainsbury’s…. Couldn’t handle the smell

and yes also have had upset stomach for two days

hmmm

I tested negative almost straight away after catching it a month ago. Have been idly wondering if This is a relapse. I was really tired for two days and lost taste and
smell but really been ok until this weekend

I never actually tested negative after my bout as I stopped testing after day 5 when I was still positive and just waited the 10 days out. I have felt so bad since though that I have retested and been negative every time.

I think it’s just a very bad cold OP.... I’ve had it since 8th April, started with a cold, tested negative, I thought the cold disappeared and I had hay fever on top of that.... then I’ve been struggling with catarrh since last Friday.

There is definitely some other bug nastier than the average doing the rounds at mo, which isn't Covid. My DPiLs both had it and absolutely wiped them out last week. Both tested negative.

I think many of us spent so much time away from others that immunities got really low - and now we are being zapped by all the bugs out there!
