Hope you’re soon feeling better Raahh
I had it back in January and I felt rough for a couple of hours, had a nap and all symptoms had gone when I woke three hours later. My husband and our younger son came down with it a couple of days later.
I had it again last month and it really knocked me about (I’d had a booster in May so was up to date with vaccinations). It was nearly three weeks before I realised that I was feeling better.
I started with a weird dry throat and chest on the Monday which I put down to too much shouting at a football match the day before. The cough started on the Tuesday so I tested and it was negative.
By Thursday I was feeling wiped out so tested again because I was going to another match with my son, I didn’t feel 100% but I didn’t want him driving alone back from Manchester late at night after being up since 5.45am. Anyway, a nap helped and that test was again negative so off we went.
On the Friday my nose was blocked and my throat was sore, and that was when I finally tested positive.
Neither my husband or our two sons caught it, despite the younger one sharing my bottle of water at the match on the Thursday, and our older son so far hasn’t had it at all despite being a teacher and being around germy teens all day.
