Have you caught Covid recently

Not had muscle pains so far. Stil sore throat and constant dull headache around ears / temples. Think I might have a temprature as I actually put a tracksuit jacket on earlier for a bit.

Weird how it seems to manifest so quickly in some. I was with friend who tested positive for an hour or so yesterday morning, outside. I started feeling shit last night and tested positive this morning. Though as I say, had been out on Fri and Sat too.
 
I had lower backache really strong along with weird sore neck and shoulder and muscle achyness as a symptom of covid (Wuhan Clan OG variant) back in March 2020. I guess it wasnt known as a symptom then. Pretty shit. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery folks.

FWIW it seems like the long covid and really nasty post viral effects were worst with the original virus and are now not so bad with omicron. Obviously it still affects people but not so many. Anecdotal evidence is a lot of the long covid people online are those who got it/probably got it in the first wave. So I hope thats a bit less of a worry! Obviously do take it easy though..... :)

might be a bit too early to tell, but I think I've dodged LC. There was definitely a turning point a few days ago when I suddenly got my hearing back, felt a lot less tired, and my mood lifted.
I suspect my skin will take 6-12 months to recover though....
 
worth noting though that my skin problems should be seen as a side issue triggered by Covid, rather than a symptom.
 
Didn't get back pains but my joints were killing me. Elbows, knees, shoulders. Nasty to lay on for more than 5 minutes.
Exact same here. Was too knackered to do much for first 2 days, yet my shoulders, neck and knees ached for no apparent reason. Bone ache, headache, goosebumpy chills for a couple of days. Paracetamol and sleep helped. Then sneezing and runny nose for a week. The sore throat returned after a week. All in, took 2 weeks to feel back to normal. I was lucky and had it mild.
 
Here we go...just when I kinda inwardly thought that I might be somehow immune to it (for want of a better word), and had stubbornly and superstitiously avoided posting on the "who hasn't had covid yet"-thread.
Tested positive today for the first time.
Sore throat only symptom so far...a cough might just be starting though...

ETA: Feeling a bit gutted and miserable, despite the inevitability, with it being so rife at the moment.

Good luck, that's how mine started. It never turned into a cough this time.

best of luck to you.

don't hold back on the grump though, you have every right to be miserable. Covid sucks.
 
Finally caught it ! Tested positive yesterday , may have had it since Friday 🤔 TBH , only tested because Mrs21 tested , she had it , so tested and yeah , me too.

I'm having it mild , a bit snotty , bit of a cough. Mrs21 is pretty wiped out atm , I'll take another test tomorrow.

It has fucked up some plans , I was heading down to Bath tomorrow for a funeral , a mate's wife died recently, a mate I've known since our first day at school in September 1969. Rang him and he was fine , better that I didn't come & infect his elderly mother .

I'm so sorry to hear this Zora
I hope it passes swiftly for you
 
Got half a mind to do a new poll for who has got sick in the last week. Seems to be an absolute shitload of people, both on here and in general.

Closest thing to good news is I don't know of anyone who's had the worst of the symptoms last more than a couple of days, nor anyone who has ended up in hospital with it.
