I tested positive for covid this morning so that's how it's going. Not feeling too bad though plus this is the first time I've had it so I had a good run!
I got it for the first time on Friday; first two days were horrible, aching joints and kidneys, only a bit snuffly and coughing. Then Saturday & Sunday were awful just in a different way, with wild temperature fluctuations, feel fine one minute then next sweating bullets. Saturday was a bit scary where all of a sudden my temperature dropped and started shivering like mad, had to get under the duvet and blankets and warm back up.
Mostly just snuffly head now, keeping on top of pain meds, cycling paracetamol & ibuprofen has kept the worst of it at bay I think. I don't get sick often so not a lot to compare to, but definitely worse than any flu i've had recently enough to remember.
Damn that sounds horrible. I'm hoping it's not that bad for me but it's still early days but so far I'm doing okay. It feels like it's sitting between a bad cold and a flu. See how I'm feeling tomorrow.
Omg. It usually takes 5-7 days to really kick in, so look after yourself and don't overdo it. Hope it's mild!
Glad you're not doing too badly, hopefully it's a mild strain and things won't get too miserable!
