If you have it, have had it, are pretty sure you have it, tell us about it?

I guess I'm not sure if people are updating this. Might be better to read the thread, rather than look at the poll, to get an idea of how it's affected people on here.

Started as a cough on one day which developed into 2 days of fever/aching/dizziness. I attacked it with regular vile concoctions of lemon, ginger, garlic, bitters, turmeric, Vit D and black seed oil. Then two days of cold (mainly a sore nose). There was slight tightness in breathing but I'm pretty much back to normal.
Isolated for 14 days.

I’m glad I’m home, because nobody else in this house knows where the fucking dishwasher is, or the cloths and surface spray. They’d all suffocate under a pile of filth if I died.
Well you point them out to them while sitting down!

To be honest I didn't test but behaved as if I had the virus

That’s both my swabs come back negative, but they did say I was past the time limit for accurate results, so I’m none the wiser really. I’ve to continue isolating.

Not sure if that is good news or not danny, but I hope your getting better

I know. It means I still don’t know if it’s Covid or an asthma attack. Either way the steroids are helping. So that’s a good outcome.

Sounds like you had it. A bit late for you, but I'd advise people to try to get positive tests because if you have long term effects (about a 1 in 10 chance) you might find it easier if you have to go on long term sick pay. Anyway, glad to hear you're recovering.

This Covideers a bit better again.
I can trace my fever now with Paracetamol alone - it goes away when I take it, and comes back as it wears off. This is a huge improvement from earlier in the week with the uncontrollable sweating.
Still knackered though, feels like a tiredness and lethargy that no amount of sleep can shift. Eating properly again (large Dominos pizza to myself last night
) so hoping that energy levels come back a bit with that.

Sorry you are none the wiser and have to continue isolating but good that the results were negative, despite being past the time for accuracy, it could have been worse.

Yeah, it’s fine. It’s par for the course with my health scares. Alarming at the time, but generally a bit of a damp squib.

I think I’ve got the bloody thing now but won’t know til test results from test i did this morning come back (by Sunday they said). Has anyone else got a malfunctioning nose at the moment ? That’s the only thing that’s obviously wrong and I’d really like any smell related reassurance / commiserations. I’m not googling it because I know there be monsters.

Only google NHS, there's no monsters there. Hope you don't have it.

whatever i started with in mid december (and got a negative covid test for) still hasn't gone away / has turned in to some post viral crud. still varying degrees of tired / headachy / coughing a bit / occasional mushy brain. walked to local shop (about half a mile each way) yesterday and absolutely bloody knackered when i got back.
there's no point in taking another test or anything is there?

Mrs Doodler and myself both stopped self-isolating about 10 days ago after having mild to moderate infections. We both still tire quite easily after walks, sustained household chores etc, and our day jobs, but there has been a very gradual improvement. It feels.a bit like I imagine it would if you'd been suddenly transported to a Peruvian town 10,000 feet above sea level and had to go about your daily life there.
No sad faces please - we survived and are doing okay unlike tens of thousands of people in this country alone.

Sounds very similar to us. We had positive tests on 22nd December. Most symptoms gone now except tiredness. Interestingly the kids (who also both tested positive) seemed to be asymptomatic at first but also seem much more tired than usual.

Glad you're all on the mend. I'm hoping/presuming the easy tiring will be gone after a couple of months.

The builder we had round today had it in April. He said he had 3 weeks off work and then a couple of months where he tired easily and had to take it easy.

Felt shivery, had a sore throat and really tired over the weekend. No obvious Covid symptoms but weird so phoned NHS 111. None of the main symptoms so they reckoned I didn't need a test. Felt ropey again this morning so rang my GP. Get a test, they said. Just been in and had it. Very efficient. Now isolating for 8 days / until my results come back clear.
