I have felt absolutely dreadful since Fri 5th.
Symptoms:
Constant - congested, sore sinus pressure, sore head, almost total loss of appetite, weak muscles, fatigue, cough that makes your whole body sore, feeling cold then feeling hot, and probably the most annoying: waking up with full body sweats every time I go to sleep (which means I only get 2-3 hours at a time before having to get up, get dry and change my clothes). The sweats maybe started around day 4.
Only sometimes - felt nauseous, been sick, had the shits
Took a COVID test on day 7 and negative. I also felt better on day 3 and thought it had just been a cold and I was over it but I've been floored since day 4 and barely able to leave my bed. I had no appetite at all until day 7 and I've been managing to eat little bits since then but not normal intake. I've lost about 5lbs.
What the hell is this? Is this just the flu? I've never been so sick for so long and so obviously I'm going to the very logical conclusion that I'm never gonna get better again, which oh reminds me I've had quite high anxiety this week too 🙈
