This recent virus

[Middleageddreameresawsss]

Has anyone had a virus that wiped them out recently?
High temp then ok temp. Dry coughing and wretching. Esp at night. Nausea. Exhaustion. Dehydration. Feeling weak. On day 5.

Mine is also awful. Started on the 7th of October with a dry continuous cough which lasted over 3 weeks. Now into my second week of a sinus infection and first week of upset stomach in the mornings. Feel wiped out and like I could go to bed for a month!

This is exactly what I’ve had, started around the same time

I’m so so tired of it now. Have you taken anything you have found helped? I’ve been prescribed a steroid nasal spray but cold and flu tablets don’t do anything

Yes my dh. Lasted 10 days. Horrific.

Yes I had two weeks wiped out with exhaustion and strangely absolutely terrible anxiety the whole way through. When I finally felt better it just disappeared again. Covid negative so I guess it was flu?

@CatMad22 i had a short course of antibiotics a few weeks ago that did nothing (dr thought it was a chest infection) and also been using steroid nasal spray for a few days which is slightly helping the congestion but the fatigue is not going away. I went to GP again today and was referred for a few tests, my blood pressure was really low so trying to up my fluids and electrolytes in the hope that helps with the fatigue

I also got prescribed antibiotics but didn’t take them as I read that most sinus infections don’t respond to them but now thinking this might be Covid it makes sense. I’ve definitely lost my sense of smell and taste on and off. I hope you start feeling better soon, I will try some electrolytes too.

@CatMad22 yeah I actually felt worse after the antibiotics, I haven’t lost my sense of smell but I have lost my appetite a bit. Really fed up of it! Hope you feel better soon
