Think I have covid but don't have any tests left and there were none in stock at the pharmacy. Started feeling ill on Friday and woke up with the worst headache on Saturday. Headache went away but has now returned, super high temperature, feel generally terrible, weak and fatigued. Supposed to be going on holiday next week.

Feeling panicky right now as I just walked to the local shop and now I'm back I feel like I could collapse. I'm sat down but feel very faint.

Anyone else have covid right now? Any tips on dealing with these symptoms? I think this is worse than the first time I had it

Take some paracetamol to reduce your temperature, drink lots of fluid and rest like you do when you have a respiratory illness/bad cold/flu/covid etc etc

hello, I am sending you lots of sympathy, I feel the same and have tested positive. I am definitely not walking to any shops - I am staying in bed and getting groceries delivered! and eating anything I fancy and sleeping, and watching any rubbish I want to

I think I’ve got Covid but I’m just at the start of it. I’ve bought high strength cocodamol and have ibuprofen plus codeine as well in case it gets bad

I'm worried I'll hit my trigger point for sickness at work. There's no way I'm going to make it in.. had covid in November and what I thought was covid in May and had time off on both occasions. What a nightmare. 😞
