    My daughter got it in October when she was 8 months pregnant, along with her husband, her 18 month old toddler and both her mother and father in law (who are both 60 and very overweight).
    Absolutely all of them were fine , a few aches and pains and tiredness but that was it, nobody needed a doctor or any medication.......all fully recovered and no lasting side effects although the taste was the last thing to return .

    Can I ask if anyone had mouth ulcers or blisters as a symptom? Thanks

    I don't think it's a widely regarded one.... but a lot of people get them before they come down with something....

    If I get one, and feel my neck glands hardening up, I know somethings on the way

    A work colleague of mine who spent three weeks in hospital reported her first symptom as a shooting pain in her back. So its possible.

    Regarding the loss of taste, to anyone here who had that symptom, was it a complete loss of taste, or did you just struggle to taste things?

    A friend of mine is positive he got Covid last Feb/March. The GP wanted to get him tested but he was recovered before he could get an appointment (Testing system was brutal slow for first 2/3 months). Anyway he said he got severe lower back pain along with all the other symptoms.

    That explains the toilet paper craze in 2020 :D

    Its the immune system kicking in, flushing you out. So the doc said...

    Like people are talking about having it early last year (before March) and stuff, but reading some of the stuff here now what people have been going through and the symptoms and everything, I don't think people had it then.

    I'd be trying to drink 4 litres of water a day

    Not easy to do and you'll be peeing loads and loads, but better to flush your system

    It's a good idea to "front load" this much water drinking too, with the bulk of it drank before 2pm

    Like is it just not as strong smelling or tasting things? or is it completely gone? Like do you taste anything at all?

    Like to me, I just can't imagine to think how weird that must be like, like obviously you can feel the textures just no taste.

    I thought I had it in February of last year.

    Yesterday our household tested positive and we have the exact same symptoms now as February of last year.

    Yeah, even really strong flavours, nothing. I have been really lucky with my symptoms but I hope that one doesn't hang around for too long.

    Although without it I would never have guessed I had Covid so I suppose it's a good thing in a way.

    Like me and my family had a really bad dose last year, I actually went away on a Holiday to somewhere close to Italy's epicentre at the time, I came back and was waking up in the middle of the night choking and coughing every night, sleeping 3 hours a night for around two weeks, mam and dad also were massively sick, both were giving nebulizers, I thought I had it back then but now I'm still not sure.

    We have sore muscles, fatigue, headache etc but it's not that bad, it was worse last year. Hopefully our symptoms don't get any worse :)

    Haven't been tested since wasn't a thing back then, I went to the doctors about it too back then as I was in bits worse I've felt before and all he said to me was give up smoking even though mam and dad were bad too, have a cough now but it's a wet cough so not classed as it and showing no other symptoms.

    Hit me on the tiredness...... knocked me fir 6 on energy levels. Couldn’t do the smallest tasks without having to lie down. Sleep patterns all over the place- awake all night and sleepy during the day.

    On day 10 now after first symptom and starting to come around.

    It’s interesting. I was very sick in February too , really sore red eyes , raw scratchy throat and a very dry cough that sounded like a whooping cough.
    I rarely get coughs and this was weird as it was in my upper chest only , not deep down. I got fits of coughing I couldn’t control, I had to pull the car off the road I was coughing so much once. I’ve never completely got rid of the cough which is annoying .
    I was sick for 2 weeks ......apart from the lasting cough.

    Never got tested, doctor said it probably wasn’t Covid as I had no temperature, but that was over a phone call. I suspect it might have been, i wish I knew :confused:

    All our house have it. OH has it the worst, headache, skin feeling sore to touch and chills. But even at that they are up and about and doing a bit of exercise. Myself and our 3 kids have no symptoms but our guess is we had it before new year because we had runny noses (nothing you would even think that relates to covid).
