Stevo985 Posted April 5 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5 The sore throat was definitely the worst part about it for me when I got it. I felt generally pretty shit, but the sore throat hung around for absolutely ages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i've had it twice, and nothing more than a mild cold from memory. Quite lucky in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That (or the stomach pain that accompanied it) was the most alarming thing for me when I got it. Absolute agony. I didn't know it was Covid at the time, mind you, as it was early on, at the start of the first lockdown. Short of breath, light headed, headache, fever, (mild but repeated) coughing and dry throat and then the stomach pain on another level altogether. GWS Shedder.

tonyh29 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I've felt rough for about 10 days now , no cough it just started with mucus in the throat , actually coughed up phlegm that was so rubbery I reckon I could have sold it to Michelin Throat then went like I'd been sharing a packet of iron filings with Sidcow on sat , then Sunday night my throat kept feeling like it was blocked , sleep was a bloody nightmare as I'd essentially wake up with sleep apnoea and a feeling that my throat was blocked with something throat still blocked now not as bad as it was but still makes getting a decent sleep difficult and the mucus out my nose this morning seemed to be almost lime green in colour and very thick Not done a covid test , but keeping away from people just in case I'm a bit contagious , seems to be a lot of ill people around at the moment , probably in a similar scenario to me where they probably have flu but it could be something else When I caught Covid previously , I guess it was sometime between jab 1 and jab 2 , I didn't even know I had it , I sneezed about 3 times but a random test came back as positive ... so if this is Covid , it could show the difference between having up to date jabs and not having had any for numerous years .. or it could just be a different strain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had the last jab in October. I thought it had been over a year ago now. I'm diabetic though so I think I got a later dose most didn't get. For sure the longer ago your last dose was the worse it will get. Not sure what the incubation period is but I went to work on Tuesday and it was very noticeable that loads of people on the train and in the office were having serious coughing fits so something is going round. More likely someone I've come into contact with over Easter though I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 nose is still all bunged up for about 3 weeks now , with the amount of snot coming out every time I blow my nose I reckon I've lost a stone in weight and smashed Toxteth O'Grady's world record at the same time still a fair bit of phlegm in the throat , but physically I feel ok all a bit weird though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
