Sorry to hear how many of you have been hit with covid multiple times. I've had it at least twice, most recently in March/April and haven't properly recovered since then. But I came onto the thread because I've been feeling dreadful since Friday and wanted to ask about symptoms. I know they can vary according to variants and I don't have any tests so am just lying low.
Only a slight cough and, now and again, a twinge of achey throat, but the headaches, fatigue, nausea, awful taste in my mouth, tinnitus and sore, painful eyes have laid me out flat this last couple of days. The heat hasn't helped (south east London). I've stayed well-hydrated and slept a lot during the day, but have needed cocodamol to cope with the headaches and the back/leg pain. A lot of the pain is on my right side, with flare ups of old back and hip pain, and a weird crampy/restless feeling in my leg. I feel depressed and have been very tearful on and off, with dark thoughts. Appetite not great.
It has taken quite a different course to the bout I had in spring, and is probably more like the experience I had in 2020, but obviously I can't be sure it's covid without testing. I wonder if anyone has had a similar experience recently? Sleep does nothing for the headaches, which have moved from left to right, front to back, and been pretty bad (I say that as a chronic migraine sufferer). The aching eyes has really upset me, such a horrible scary feeling and I had that symptom post-covid in spring but an eye health check showed up nothing directly attributable to the virus.
Apologies for the long post, and I hope you're all feeling some proper improvement in your symptoms. Thank goodness the heat is about to break!
