Did you feel like this when you had covid?

[fortysomething8]

Tested positive 9 days ago now and still not 100% but I feel very strange.

My sinuses are awful, I'm aching everywhere, I'm absolutely freezing all of the time and I have some strange pains in my stomach. Quite nauseous but I know I won't be sick. The pain in my stomach are around the top third of my tummy above my belly button. On the whole I just feel completely worn out and everywhere hurts. My lips are so dry and I've lost all taste and smell (which I know is a main symptom obvs)

It's just a strange one to feel so congested but with random stomach ache too! I'm guessing it's all covid related? The dry lips are also driving me bonkers. I can't get through the day with our needed to lie down a fair few times too.

Had both vaccines and booster

Oh yeah be careful of the cold wind - wrap up warm! I found myself culled ti the bone with these low temperatures we've been having.

I also had incredibly dry skin. Three weeks later it's just about back to normal.

I think the reason sitting in the sun has helped me so much is it warms me up as I am constantly freezing!

I took the dcs to a friends for a couple of hours today, way too much and needed a long nap when I got home. I have an important interview on Tuesday and I just know I have to cancel, my cv isn't up to scratch and I just don't have the energy or brain to do it.

I find I have massive brain fog - anyone else? Also heartburn is making an appearance.

Hope you feel better soon OP. I had some of the same symptoms - the sinuses, felt pretty cold, regular feeling of nausea - but was only actually sick once after days of nausea, v dry lips. I found some symptoms waxed and waned - one day would be sneezing all day, the next I was congested, then sneezing, then congested but felt like there was nothing that needed shifting, then back to gungy mucous, then a sneezing day. The feeling of being freezing also waxed and waned. Random toothache for hours which would then suddenly disappear and reappear a few days later. Headache, dizziness, toothache and fatigue were my worst. Still have fatigue, cough and congestion, but other symptoms have gone (roughly a month in).

We all had/have a different mix of symptoms in my family. Two (kids) had the stomach pains but also headaches, vomiting, high fevers, off food, sensitive to light, fatigue which sounds a bit different to you. Anecdotally, it's mainly kids that I've heard of with the horrid tummy pains.
