Hello,

This is my second time being sick in the last 2 weeks. I ended up with a chest infection and had to go on antibiotics. I'm sick again, slightly different but it came on so suddenly.

Awful sore throat yesterday which isn't as bad now but it burnt so much that it made my eyes water. I just feel disgusting now. I've a temp of 38.1, but I've tested negative. Not too sure how reliable the tests are now and whether I should re-test in a couple of days. Lots of coughing and sneezing 🤧 and my face / sinus is painful. Could just be a cold but honestly I'm so sick of being Ill now. I know no-one can do anything but I felt sorry for myself and needed a rant.

Anyone else feeling just as miserable ?

I am feeling very miserable. Tested positive for covid six weeks yesterday and haven't felt well since. Two lots of antibiotics for a chest infection which I am not convinced has actually gone. Total exhaustion which means I can't walk far plus yesterday all my joints started hurting to add to the insult and they are just the tip of the iceberg.

Oh it’s awful isn’t it.
Sore throat, cough, sneezing, headache and face ache.

Nothing that a couple of paracetamol can’t deal with and gallons of water but I feel miserable.

It seems that everyday coughs and colds have made a return!

Im going on holiday soon, hoping to feel better by then.

Test again. My friends and I were negative, tested again the next day, positive.
all had same symptoms within few wks (hadn’t seen each other surprisingly!) but same symptoms so knew it would be covid.

I had similar symptoms yesterday and I was negative. Tested this morning and was positive

You have my sympathies op
I have been in bed with it for a week finally tested negative and then threw up this morning
Feel dreadful

I'm just coming out of my third bout of covid and this time has been the absolute worst. Headache for two weeks and constantly feeling like I'm drowning. I had negative tests for the first few days and it was only when I got suddenly worse that I tested positive. It's the absolute pits.

Thanks all for the replies - finally getting over whatever it was.

Absolute pain in the a** I tested several times but all negative. My taste /smell went awful - everything tasted like hand sanitizer which had happened when I tested positive for covid the time before, so very odd in my opinion that it wasn't the same.

Still have a chesty cough and a drippy nose, but feel better than I have been. You all have my sympathies !
