Have you caught Covid recently

  • Total voters

Called in sick yesterday as sore throat and itchy ears and very tired. Tested negative yesterday and today and feel better post a days bed rest.
However this is a normal thing for me at the beginning of autumn.
 
Has anyone who's had it fairly recently been bothered with mouth ulcers afterwards? My youngest son had it six weeks ago and he's been getting a lot of mouth ulcers. I'm presuming it's a post viral thing because he took a few weeks until he was feeling better from the gut symptoms and tiredness so not outwith the bounds of possibility that it's still hanging around a bit for him.

Yeah I had this with long covid. I think its quite a common issue tbh. along with skin issues in general.
 
Finally managed to get it after two and half years. I must have caught it last Saturday, and interestingly I felt like I had the beginnings of a sore throat within hours. Stayed like that until Tuesday then it became an actual sore throat, no other symptoms though until today when I have a slight fever of 100.0F and muscle aches. No nasal symptoms, cough or headache etc.
 
Definitely woke up with a sore throat, but I get one every October. Don't sound like Barry White yet. Going to get jab at walk in on Tuesday, can't even remember if I should test first or just go for it. Prob not covid again 🙄.
 
It caught up with Mr. QofG's on Thurday and me yesterday.

Mr. QofG's has had a really bad throat, hot sweats, headache and fatigue

I've basically got flu like symptoms, aching limbs, feeling shivery, bad headache, fatigue, snotty nose.

Plus it's slightly setting off some of my MS symptoms so I'm very jerky. However that does mean I'm eligible for additional treatments so are waiting for the docs to call me about that.
 
Pulled a positive test this morning after nursing the Mrs with it all weekend. She's had the covid cough and sore throat. I've got that to look forward to I suppose. I just feel a bit spannard and bunged up.

Like a boss I made sure I went shopping for fags and booze yesterday and made a roast dinner that would last 2 people a week :D .

Can't believe I've managed to avoid it all this time.

I've been offered anti-virals so am going to have those delivered, big, big, thank you to the NHS!!

Still fluey, still achy and my legs are hurting, my throat isn't sore though and I'm not coughing that much but when I do I'm very chesty. Most of all I'm exhausted.

The Mrs is having the monoclonal antibody infusion done tomorrow on account that she's on methotrexate injections and isn't getting any better.

Fair do's the the Welsh NHS. She had a chat with her Dr about whether to continue with the injections whilst she's got symptoms and the hospital called her 30 minutes later for a drive-in appointment tomorrow.

Puts my mind at rest to be honest. Been a bit worried about her.

Nah just stroll in you might not be infectious and like why waste the money on a test just in case?
 
Day 3 and I really do feel like shit. Been in bed most of the day. Everything aches. My knees, my lower back my arms. Sat in the bath to get warm. Keep going from on fire to chattering chills. Woke up at 4 am and thought I was going to ignite.
My eyes are stinging too..

The Mrs is a bit better mind so that's a bonus. No one told me it would be this much fun.

Aww love, it's fucking rank init. (((Cwtch)))

I've still got a bit of a cough and feel v fatigued but my weirdest side effects are my skin feels dead waxy...like when I wash in the shower I don't like the sensation of touching my own skin cos it feels well off. I also have a sensitive, sore mouth and lips...like its all inflamed.
 
I've had a horrible taste in my mouth the past couple of days, not sure if it's covid or the anti-viral tablets.

It's interesting that, apart from extreme tiredness, Mr.QofG's and I have had quite different symptoms. He's had, and still has, a hacking cough and terribly sore throat plus fever. I've had aches, shivers and generally more flu like symptoms. I have had a cough but nowhere near as bad as his.
 
Yup it is rank Clair De Lune No skin weirdness but yesterday I really did feel ill.

I feel a bit more normal today although I am still full of cold and a bit flu like.

A bit like QueenOfGoths I'm not coughing like the Mrs is. More sneezing which is driving me nuts but thankfully yesterday's symptoms seemed to have subsided a bit.

Solidarity in snot.
