Current covid variant symptoms

I’m just getting our covid for the second time. This time round I’ve felt so I’ll and spent 3 days in bed. Thankfully now I’m on the mend 1st time round it certainly wasn’t this bad nor were the side effects of the jabs.

I’ve just had Covid, for the first time, think I’ve been very lucky, I had been dreading it because of my age, weight, bp, asthma, etc, but I was just mildly flu-y ill for five days, testing positive from day 1, then tested negative on day 7. Still got a dry cough, but have had a second negative test on day 9. Was exhausted and flu-y initially. Again v lucky, I stayed in bed, had meals brought to me by DH. Did a little gentle gardening again on day 5. I think this is an opportunistic and VERY odd virus. I had let my guard down re masks etc, so plan to wear masks in shops, etc. Also planning to go to my book group in friends garden this evening. Hope everyone else recovers as quickly as I did ???

I just tested positive this morning but think I have probably had it since Friday without realising it. I’ve had tummy ache and a burning sensation when I wee.
Last night however I had the shivers in bed, although I was hot, and a bad headache so tested this morning and low and behold was positive.
I have since read on line that cystitis symptoms are now being linked to covid .
I have a mild cough ( at the moment) and no sore throat to speak off.

Yes, of course it’s wise to wear a mask

Fed up with it, sounds horrendous, some of my family had it, but not been very Bad at all, perhaps they had a milder dose.
And
Sorry to gatecrash your post OP
but I need to use the bus today, is it wise to wear a mask? Normally go in the car ..thank you x

Oh bloody hell. Will this ever end
I’m literally sick to death of being worried sick about DH catching it.

for all those suffering or worrying

I've just finished having Covid and it was much worse than I expected - 2 weeks to test negative.

Friends had said it was just a sniffle and feeling a bit off for a few days but it really affected my breathing and made me feel as if I'd run a marathon and then been kicked in the chest by a horse! A weird sort of old fashioned flu mixed with bronchitis and exhaustion.

I think the latest variety must go more for the lungs.

She's mostly better now, but still very tired etc. I know her family were very casual about C19 before. Which was reinforced by not being particularly ill first time round. She has been a lot more cowed by it this time. Isolated away from her children.

Just looked on nhs website ... said important to check this out ... apologies if she has

If she is coughing up blood need to contact doctor ASAP to be on the safe side bless her , hope she has a quick & full recovery very soon

I've just tested negative after nearly 2 weeks of feeling grim. Initially, I had the most dreadful headache, aches and pains, a high temperature and very sore throat. Surprisingly, the cough didn't kick in until day 3 and it was dry and tickly to start with. It turned chesty after about another 3 days. On the whole I would say the cough was the least of my symptoms.
I think it's almost impossible to catorgarise the covid symptoms. The little so and so seems to have so many tricks up its sleeve and no two people seem to experience them the same.

I read a while back that a new variant attacks deep down into lungs?

Not sure if it is spreading, or even in existence, but of course it is quite possible with a virus that constantly changes.
