Day 6 and feeling worse…

[mightyducks]

Anyone else? Didn’t feel too bad up to this point , more like a heavy cold, but today has floored me, can’t get old out of bed, feeling terrible. Absolutely sick to death of Covid!

It took me almost 6 weeks to start finally feeling better (so ruined all of December for me). The current variant seems to be particularly nasty. Hang in there. It will improve eventually!!

This is my third time having covid but it's floored me way worse than either of the previous two times. Can't even really pin down symptoms beyond loss of smell, but I feel totally exhausted and just not right - and am on day 8. I also feel like this bout is doing something to me in terms of mental health. I've felt horribly anxious and depressed for the last week - just totally despairing and like I'll never be the same again. I've heard that the current dominant strain can cause this kind of symptoms so I'm assuming it's all down to covid.

Me too - Day 6 (confused when to count - positive test last Tuesday but unwell day or 2 before) and I feel worse than yesterday - my ears are aching and I a so tired.

Also agree that I am soo sad and weepy ( not like me at all). Still a strong positive on a test today 😩.

Day 7 and no better, in bed , no appetite at all, feels like flu this time , don’t have a sore throat or cough or anything, just a head cold and extreme fatigue. And also feel very anxious and weepy , feeling like I’ll never be well again, even though deep down I know that’s not true

Completely sympathise - I'm in exactly the same boat! Day 9 of symptoms and I don't even feel that physically unwell, but emotionally I feel completely broken, I can't stop crying and honestly just feel like I'll never be the same again!

How is everyone doing? I’m on day 6! Was quite smug the first few days as I felt unwell but not that bad. But now I just ache and am so exhausted. No cough or cold anymore and I’m actually testing negative already. But I feel like I’ve got flu in terms of energy levels, and also crazy emotional and anxious I’ll never be better. (And anxious how to care for a toddler come the end of the week!)

I started feeling better last night, it was wonderful, then this morning felt awful again in a different way, tired and bad headache so now I have sinusitis to follow on from covid! Fed up as you can imagine…..

Day 5 here. My first three days I could barely get out of bed. However I felt much better yesterday. Today I feel a bit worse. I feel quite light headed and so tired.

Oh no! I know lots of people who’ve ended up with sinus infections after Covid this time. All other symptoms for me seem to have passed (day 7) apart from being completely wiped out and my muscles feeling like they’ve done the hardest workout of their life. Mornings seem to be worse then I feel better in the afternoons.

Still feel super anxious too, that this is life now. But I’m terrible at feeling unwell, I lose all context 😂

I'm on day 13 of symptoms, mainly better but still a bit tired and emotional. The only thing that's hanging around is reduced sense of smell which I'm going totally mad over!! Obsessing so much and so worried it will be like this forever. I think I have seen very small improvements over the last few days but only very small... It's so unsettling :(

Hi.
I am day 6 of covid.
I still have temperature
So weak
Chest pain and pressure
Is this normal

I’m on day 8, definitely had more energy but then was so exhausted come the afternoon (cried when my toddler wouldn’t nap 😂). The thing that’s freaking me out most is how emotional/down it’s left me feeling! Is this a thing?!

Did this pass for you @Mattietoes ? On day 9 and although feeling fine (other than exhausted) the anxiety is crazy!

Yes, absolutely - and I really felt like I would never be the same again! It's now two weeks since I tested positive and I feel 90% back to normal, only lingering symptom is slightly dulled sense of smell (though it's getting better). Anxiety and despair completely gone! So it will pass, just hang on in there xx

Thank you! It’s so bizarre, I’m so emotional and anxious - maybe it’s the extreme tiredness that causes it and weird feeling you’ll never feel lively again! Really think two weeks alone on a Caribbean island alone might help 🤔

I'm on day 4 since I tested positive but just under a week since started feeling ill.

Weekend was incredibly tough. Head pain was awful, eyelids were very puffy and constantly streaming.

Today I feel exhausted but one thing I wasn't expecting was my face to feel hot and itchy, like I've been in the sun. My sun feels so dry and I had been wearing a nasal strip to help breathe but now bridge of my nose is red and throbbing!! Anyone else feel like they have had hot skin on face?

This is 2rd time I've had covid and probably the worse one I've had.

I’ve just tested POs 2 days ago but felt unwell since sat and yes!!!! My head feels like it could set fire my face is so hot but no temp! It’s making my anxiety so bad, I’m on day 6 ( day 3 since POs test) and today is defiantly my worst day! I’m hoping today is my worst and from tomorrow I will start to feel better xx

Hope you feel better soon.
