Anyone got symptoms?

Sorry to hear that some of you possibly have the virus, and wishing you a speedy and full recovery. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the virus affecting lots of people from about October wasn't actually CV. I visited my sister in Spain at that time and she was suffering from these symptoms. I'd been back in the UK about 2 weeks and became quite poorly with the same symptoms, which lasted up to 3 weeks, after feeling better for a few days, it came back. Of course, I could be completely wrong, but there was more than one thread on here from people with a virus sounding quite similar to CV. I've also read that there were indications that it could have been spreading through Europe from October.

I'm sorry you're not feeling great Rosiebee. Being ill for a prolonged time is awful (I had 4 months of chemo 10 years ago. Vomiting. Sickness. Urgh).

BUT your temperature is down. You've not become dangerously ill. You've avoided hospital. You're now probably immune. All really, really good news. Hopefully you'll improve soon. (I'm fighting the urge to give advice! ).

tickingbird, it's scary isn't it? How are you feeling now?

My daughter has an ongoing cough that hasn't developed into anything. Other than a trip to the supermarket a week and a half ago, she hasn't been out, so I'm trying to assume she's OK.

My flying back to the UK seems to have been a gamble that I might have got away with. 2 more days until I get to 2 week. Although I've recently seen that it can be 3 weeks or more before symptoms start.

10 days since symptoms started and at last my temperature is bobbing around the normal. Still eating very little if anything. All food tastes like something from bottom of bird cage. Cannot think of any food that I might fancy. Didn't expect this aspect to last so long. Starting to get me and DH down a lot.

I feel a slight sore throat and a feeling in my chest. I'm a little anxious but trying not to think about it too much.

If there are many different mutations then maybe they have different symptoms. I think anything out of the ordinary should ring alarm bells now. Apparently they are successfully treating patients with very high doses of Vitamin C so it wouldn't hurt to maybe double your normal intake of Vitamin C as soon as any kind of symptoms appear.

Yes Rosie I also read this morning that Loss of smell and Loss of taste can be one of the symptoms that you have the CV.

But then again we get that when we have a cold don't we.

Its seems the symptoms are more like flu rather than a cold.

We are fine but I've just heard from a young friend whose whole family are showing symptoms. We haven't been close for over a week when we last used the same art studio.
She says they could have picked up the virus anywhere. School, work, play, shopping etc.
Lets hope things will improve from now on.

Last evening I felt a tickling throat that also went up behind my nose. I felt really fearful. However this morning it appears to have gone.
Scary as I have copd and diabetes.

Stay well everyone.

Stomach problems are reported in about half of all cases according to reports.

Just heard that red eyes can be a first symptom (from America) and if so then go to hospital. It seems there are about 40 mutations of this virus and maybe they all have different symptoms.

DH has just taken temperature and it's back up. Really disappointed. Had started to think that it would be going by now. Managed to eat most of a tuna sandwich yesterday but coffee tastes foul. Read that the taste thing can be one of symptons. Also having problem with diarrhoea. Might be a result of not eating anything substantial for a week. Hope it's helpful putting my progress up, to others who may be just starting although I expect everyone's experience will be different.

So they say. BUT I know of people I was pretty sure had it and they reported phlegm. Who the hell knows, without testing?

So the coronavirus cough definitely does not produce phlegm? .

Still thinking of you both, David and Rosie.

Just think! Once you're better you'll have the anxiety about catching it taken off your shoulders.

BlueSky Try not to worry as I’m not sleeping well either. What will be will be. I think everyone is anxious in these strange times.

Feeling out of sorts and tired hopefully just anxiety and stress plus not having had a restful night sleep since all this started. Also stomach playing up.

GagaJo a friend's GD went down with what they thought might be the virus last week but actually turned out to be scarlet fever. Might be worth your daughter ringing the GP if it's possible to check the symptoms. Hope you and all those with the virus are feeling better soon.

Please be careful everyone. Apparently after a week just when you start feeling better that's when the lungs can start to fail and you need hospital. Watch out at that point, you will either get better or get worse. Have a hospital bag packed just in case.
Love and best wishes to all xxx

Started with it Thursday evening and it's now Mon morning. DH -Ex teacher- has plotted my temperature on a graph. It's been 100 a couple of times but mostly it's not quite so high but still well above normal. Feel very tired esp by evening and have no appetite. Very thirsty but no matter how much water I drink, it still tastes as though something has died in my mouth. Apart from all that, things are ok and touch wood DH is ok. He's my main concern. Best thing I have had to eat was homemade marmalade on toast, also some tinned peaches. I had lots of plans to use the time turning out cupboards etc but that will come. Thank goodness for spring weather. Can crochet in conservatory with Sun on my back. Always look on the bright side Stay safe everyone.

No. My cough has totally gone. Daughter has her cough back now though. And grandson is incubating one very red cheek and a slight rash. Do 2 year olds still have teeth to come in?

How are you Davidhs and Rosiebee?

I have allergic asthma and I've been very wheezy all week. It's the tree pollen. I can't get a new Ventolin without visiting the doctor as I'm not a 'registered asthmatic'. The fact that I'm isolating makes no difference. Luckily, I know somebody with one to spare.

And how are you doing now Gagajo? Any repercussions since your cough seemed to clear up a couple of days ago?

Hope you’re doing ok Rosiebee. I have read from people who’ve had it that it can come and go.

Keep us updated. Lots of love X

The best way is to stay in the room. Don't go out at all. Until you yourself are sure that you are not sick

My mam had all the symptoms of CV over Christmas. She suffered from fever, sore throat and dry cough. There's no way of knowing if it was CV. She'd been in York a few days prior to developing the symptoms which, as usual, was full of tourists from all over the world. Perhaps it's been here longer than we thought and more people have had it than have been counted..
