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.
