Virus going around?

[Wanttolikekimchee]

Just wondering if anyone out there has been feeling off colour lately, with headaches/ sometimes nausea/sometimes stomach pain and feeling as if about to have diarrhoea/ upset stomach? Also really tired. Had this on and off for a few days now and it’s getting me down. Started with feeling hot at night time a week ago but that’s passed now. Anyone else?

I had a painful stomach in the first week of January. Niggling pains that got worse throughout the day and with movement. I thought I was headed for a D&V bug, but I was able to eat with it and the next day it was gone. I thought perhaps food poisoning, but then my colleagues came down with something similar.

It might be that you have a bug that is taking its time to leave your system. If it’s no better in 2 weeks, though, or gets worse over time, you might want to see a GP. In the meantime, use the crap weather to stay at home and rest. Eat good healthy food, get lots of sleep and look after yourself however you need to.

Yes I had this and did a COVID test which was positive.
I only tested due to my job

Thank you. Interesting to read what you have to say.

I haven’t got any Covid tests! I had no appetite last week but since Saturday have been eating like a horse. Sometimes I feel okay but others my tummy feels odd.

Yes I've felt like this! Non specific symptoms but just not right

So strange. So I’ve had awful stomach pains today but motored through (because I’m a mum no choice) but my 11 year old has been bed ridden with it today. Just stomach cramps that have come and gone and tonight before bed he was complaining of body aches and feeling no energy….. so bloody weird. But these stomach pains are nasty!

How weird - my husband and I have both had slightly nauseous/sore tummies now for about 24 hours and my little boy said the same this morning. I’ve woken up boiling hot two nights in a row too and had a headache. Son is now snotty - am wondering if we should test

I've had something kind of similar - except it started with a sore throat. Then felt too hot and just very wiped out, and the vague stomach issues yesterday and today. I did a covid test but it was negative, suppose it could still be covid though.

Yes my DD has been just like this for a week.

I haven’t had those symptoms but I am having night sweats and have had a hideous cough for two months now. Dunno if is covid or some fun other bug.

I’ve had this since middle of last week now. Headache has lessened thanks goodness but stomach still not good.

Ps I haven’t bothered testing because the tests mostly don’t work anymore. Even when I had covid in 2021 the LFTs couldn’t pick it up despite daily testing, only the PCR found it.

I started like this last Thursday, did a covid test which was negative and felt bad enough to have Friday off work. Went back this morning and felt just as bad again tested again and I do have covid. It’s more the sheer exhaustion now. Also lost my sense of smell.

Ds headache temperature sore throat first few days and now a cough
Similar without temp for me

Tested yesterday and negative so it’s obviously just some other nasty bug

Yes I tested DS 3 times. Have run out tests now

I've had a temperature since.

Yea started off with raging swollen glands and then a cough. Then progressed into the heartburn, waves of nausea you describe. I did two covid tests just more out of interest and both were negative.

Did you all recover? I’ve felt just like the OP for a week now on/off & im fed up!

Unfortunately not. Ended up in hospital twice with tachycardia and a raised CRP. On my third lot of antibiotics, a chest infection, kidney infection and now tonsillitis. Honestly it’s the gift that keeps on giving… along with low grade fever, headaches, body aches and fatigue. Think I’m on week 5 or 6!

Oh and coughing up so much it’s waking me in the night gasping for breath
