Anyone got Covid without the razor throat?

I’m thinking I must have Covid, although as the title says no razor throat. it doesn’t feel like a standard cold. Does anyone know if one of the 2 new variants has the following:

Runny nose, doesn’t stop running
Less of an appetite
Heavy eyes
Headache’s originally then a heavy head feeling
Very tired mostly in the evening
A but if a cough but nothing major

Anyone else?

Have you done a test?

No, I don’t have any and DH tells me they’re expensive now?

i had Covid recently, didn’t have sore throat or cough, (but dh did) but just felt very ill and achy

Sounds Covid like.

Dh and I both had similar symptoms recently. If it's the same thing, watch out for the upset stomach in the next few days too.

Not sure if it's COVID as we didn't test, assumed it was just a cold.

@Mimosa3andmorei also had upset stomach!
I am just starting to get better now. It’s taken its time though I have to say. If it is a cold it’s not a standard one.

I tested positive for COVID last month and my symptoms were identical to the ones that you've described. I also had a sore throat, although I wouldn't describe it as razor sharp, more like a dull ache. My nose ran like a tap constantly, and all I wanted to do was sleep.
Hope that you feel better soon.
