Sick, nauseous and headachy. Have you had this bug recently?

High temperature, vomiting in children and nausea in adults, extremely extremely terrible headache?
Have you had it recently too? What on earth is it? Not flu (don't react to the light) and vaccinated.
The headache is horrendous

I had something for 10 days a week or two ago that gave me the worst headaches and stomach pain with nausea. It was miserable and really hard to shake off. It started with mild cold symptoms but progressed to the headache and tummy pain extravaganza quite quickly and the cold symptoms disappeared.

HelloDaisy · 22/03/2023 21:28

Poor you, that doesn’t sound like fun!
My worst headache ever has been when I had covid…

Theresamooselooseabootthishoose · 22/03/2023 21:30

Yes, I have it right now, did a covid test 2 days ago and it’s positive. Kids are full of it too.. fun! 🥺 new variant maybe?

CloudPop · 22/03/2023 21:31

Covid. I've got it and similar symptoms.

Goodyetalso · 22/03/2023 21:32

I had the same thing but it wasn’t Covid. I’m clinically vulnerable to have to test every day when I have symptoms and it was negative every time.

Linzi2377 · 22/03/2023 21:35

Got it too..sweats,nausea then splitting sore head..i maybe best test..was blaming it on kfc 😬

Verylongtime · 22/03/2023 21:37

That was Covid for me. I was really quite ill.

Itstimeforlunch707 · 22/03/2023 21:39

I had it and tested neg for Covid. Massive headache and nausea. Awful throat, ears and eyes. Started and disappeared really quickly. Horrible for three days in between. Hope you feel better soon op!

Itstimeforlunch707 · 22/03/2023 21:40

Oh yes, awful sweats too.

PatterdalePatty · 22/03/2023 21:45

My son was poorly for 3 weeks and hospitalised with very high temp. He had tummy pains, vomiting, headache, sweating

Yes! Sweats!!! We all had Covid in January. Really? Again? That's not fair

We only have one test left. We draw lots to test.

Did you/kids actually vomit? We adults just feel terribly nauseous. The youngest were vomiting all night. I thought it was a noravirus but naah it does not behave like that

Sinusitis with my daughter and raging temp.

MulberryDerry · 22/03/2023 22:07

The 5yo has a bad tummy ache. No fever (yet?) and hasn't vomited. Just very very weak.
We have a strange variety of symptoms but oddly no runny noses and sore throats.

Was covid here… though one adult was sick but she’s a puker. Other adults just nauseous and headache from hell.

Eatentoomanyroses · 22/03/2023 22:12

Yes we had it two weeks ago. Was absolutely horrible. Started with dd who vomited copiously. Me and dh just had diarrhoea and terrible nausea and stomach ache. When I say terrible nausea I mean terrible. Worse than any pregnancy sickness I ever had. Didn’t think of testing for covid. I do know people with similar symptoms who tested and did have covid though

chelle0 · 22/03/2023 22:12

Covid. Felt very sick but wasn't sick. Still feel sick now. 2yr old just had raging temperatures and a bit off but she was fine.

AllllTheQuestions · 22/03/2023 22:13

I had these exact symptoms. It was Covid.

ChocSaltyBalls · 22/03/2023 22:14

My son and I have had it. Not covid.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 22/03/2023 22:16

Just had this this week. As did 4 others at work. And my dd.

All covid.

Sillysosij · 22/03/2023 22:20

Omg- was off sick with it today. Assumed it was a migraine as I get those regularly, but not normally such bad stomach symptoms and didn’t have an aura (I usually get aura). Maybe I should test….

SparkyBlue · 22/03/2023 22:22

Just recovering from a horrific flu like thing. I tested and it's not covid (not that it matters at this stage). I'm physically sore from coughing which I've never ever experienced before and today was the first day since Sunday that my temp has come down. I'm absolutely wiped out.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 22/03/2023 22:24

I don't understand the not flu/ light comment?

I've just had this and felt just like flu. It was horrendous.

Luckingfovely · 22/03/2023 22:26

Here too - one dc in bed for five days with extreme headache, stomachache and nausea, I've been in bed for two days with it, think other dc going down with it now. Like others, didn't even think to test for Covid 😬

houseofcardss · 22/03/2023 22:27

I tested negative but mine is really bad headache, sore throat, fatigue and occasionally sweating with no fever. A couple of days ago I had stomach aches and a pressure on my lungs where it felt like someone was sitting on it. This has been going on for 10 days now.
