Who *hasn't* had covid?

What a bummer. What symptoms made you think to do a test, if it’s not something you do regularly?

Hope you don't have too many symptoms and GWS.

I've got a cold at the moment and it's the only time I've felt this unwell before was when I had Covid. Annoying as I am on holiday. No tests here though.

still haven't officially had it - although have had some sort of low level crud the last couple of weeks. very slight cough, headaches, general all over crappy feeling. not sure if it's worth a covid test...

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
High temperature (38.9)
Sore throat
Aches in big muscle groups
General feeling shit .
Plus, my eyes hurt…
Hadn’t done a test for months before today.

You poor love that all sounds horrible and no wonder you did a test; hope you feel better soon.

while i hope you feel chipper right quick, be prepared not to for a while. when i got it (jan/feb last year) i was woozy for months after.

Hope the post viral fatigue etc dissipates quickly.Never posted on this thread due to not wanting to tempt fate.
After avoiding it for three and a bit years I finally succumbed two and a bit weeks ago as did Antelope my OH.
Still not feeling 100%.

Tired and unemotional
I've got a bit of a throat atm, but it hadn't occurred to me that covid could be the cause. I don't have any tests with me, anyway

I was surprised too. I literally got my phone out to set a timer and bang! There was the line.

I'm still coughing and feeling snotty (sorry if TMI!).

there is no TMI when it comes to coronavirus!
while i had it, it was like the worst flu i ever had. okay that's bad, but just drink lots of water and ride it out. but i was tired for weeks afterwards, and worse than either of those, i was in a constant daze. i don't know how i got through work a year ago spring. one of my workmates lost his sense of taste though, at least that didn't happen to me!

Not had a confirmed Covid test but since the jab I'm impotent.
Which is nice.
(might be a combination of other factors but I'm sure someone else on here said the same thing).
Anyway, great story eh.

Does it matter? Not to say it doesn't but more wondering - how far along the road are we to where Covid is just another fluey thing?

We're probably there tbf but having been genuinely scared by how ill it made me when I had it, I don't think that's a particularly good thing. And I didn't even get Long Covid.

I honestly don't think I've ever had proper flu.there is no TMI when it comes to coronavirus!

This was kind of tantamount to food poisoning or tonsillitis - much worse than a really bad cold. Terrible fatigue, plus cold symptoms x 10.
I did lose my sense of smell and taste for a few days, but realised it had come back when Paddy the Cat had an exceptionally smelly session in his litter tray
. Never thought I'd be relieved to smell that. (You did say no such thing as TMI with coronavirus, right? ).One of the worst things was the stomachache. Didn't have a dodgy stomach, fortunately, just an unpleasant stomachache which went after a few days.
I sincerely hope it's made me immune for a few months.
Fortunately, I got it after my partner's birthday meal, meeting up with my brother and his family, and going to Wimbledon, three days in succession. The journeys on public transport, including a particularly hairy journey on a packed Jubilee line, were almost certainly responsible.
If I'd got it before then I would have been furious!

I'll meet you further on up the road
we've all had many fluey things but having a bout of real flu is horrible and takes ages to fully recover from
It would be great if covid would just be a fluey thing and not a bout of long lasting fatigue or worse

I'd say it TMI's at your exhaust pipe reminiscingthere is no TMI when it comes to coronavirus!

That brings back unpleasant memories
Not so much of the covid, had it twice, once so mild I barely noticed it, the other time so bad I thought my head was going to explode or eyes pop out...the bad memories though of being locked inside waiting for the damn thing to change to single again. It was so disruptive with the kids routine, school runs, work, things like getting shopping etc. The sense of freedom of a finally single line!!!!
