Virus/flu?

[OneHangryBiscuit]

Is anyone else going through what feels like flu/virus thing atm?! It started with a sore throat on saturday until monday then woke up Tuesday and felt absolutely horrendous, fatigue, coughing,sore throat,blocked nose,tight chest and literally zero energy and its just continued all this week and it doesn't feel like im getting better. Ive massively lost my appetite and feel constantly nauseous 🥲 anyone else?

I'm 4 weeks in and still coughing.

Yes! Exactly the same. Mine lasted 3 weeks and the fatigue still hasn’t gone 100%. I got antibiotics from the dr in the end which did help, even though they say they won’t

I came down with this last Thursday evening, was feeling normal then suddenly sore throat, today I feel the most ill I've ever felt since I had swine flu when my 18 yo DS was a toddler!

Coughing so hard I nearly threw up this morning, sooooo much snot in my head and catarrh in my throat and lungs. Throat is on fire, headache is constant and I am utterly exhausted. Seeing that you are all 3 - 4 weeks in I want to cry (and actually have). I am self employed and have clients waiting for stuff but I can't do it.

Not flu but had bad cold.

I know this was a ehile ago but how long did it take for your appetite to come back?

Have you tested for Covid?

I couldnt get a test but im sure this is what i have from the symptoms ive got!

I think it took a couple of weeks for my appetite to come back!

I had tested for covid and it came back negative

Bless you thankyoh for replying, did you have any anxiety with it? I suffer with anxiety pre this so could be just me! :) x

What does it matter if anyone else is having the same? Take Lemsip and see what happens. I never understand these posts i.e. Do I have Covid, do I have the FLU, do I have this or that..how the hell do we know?

Yes I did but I also suffer with anxiety so may not be linked!

How long did your anxiety take to go away? X

Its nice to know your not alone!

I have anxiety daily so 🫠

Exactly that, when you suffer with health anxiety its reassuring to know there is just a bug going around not something more serious 🙃

Ah shit! Bless you man how do you live with it daily! I never suffered any anxiety in my life until it hit me out of nowhere one day after a funny turn while i was out then i was sooo poorly for about 3 months until i started on sertraline for it which really did help, seems like every time i get a bug of some sort it comes back and i just cant deal with it whatsoever!
