Truly after hitting me today like a train all of a sudden. Thank god I didn't end up going to Green Day
Pins and needles, low energy nausea
Let's hope it passes sooner rather than later
I'm nearly two weeks from when I think I first had symptoms and while I could always sleep for Ireland at anytime of the day and I had no really bad symptoms I find myself even sleepier than normal. Still have the occasional weird burnt coffee smell in my noise.
I am on day three, the weekend has been hell, especially Sunday afternoon. Temperature was over 40, pains in head, teeth, eyes etc.
Feel much better now but not sleeping for some reason, however, I don't feel tired. Appetite is back but I can only manage small meals.
I just felt really tired for a couple of days but thought it was because I was after increasing my exercise regime and walling. Then last Thur sore throat and Friday sinus burning and pain. Then by Sun felt fine just a slight cold.
I really wouldn't have thought it was covid going by how ppl describe, it seemed more like allergies.
I suffer from some sort of "hay fever" and my covid symptoms would have been very similar.
gee the contrast between different people's symptoms is unreal - this virus really keeps us guessing
Got a negative result an hour ago on a non HSE Antigen test
Still have mild synthoms but energy moving back up.
when did your symptoms start?
if within 8 days i'd say its a false negative...
antigen test results are not reliable..
I only got a positive result on day 4
your contagious for about 8 days (day 0 - when symptoms start)
started this day week (tues 21st) gradually moving up to Thursday 23rd and then positive test Friday morning (24th)
I'm going to do a HSE test later on
I'm on day 5 now, lot better but still a lot of tiredness, slept for 14 hours last night.
We've had covid in the house twice now and the one symptom I seem to be getting (and see it as a bit of a 'covid sign' now) is this really intense headache right between my eyes. It's a headache I can't remember ever having due to anything else. It also seems to be making me clench my teeth.
In the second full day of Covid. Started coming on Sunday evening with a mild fever. Monday morning got a positive antigen result. Mild flu symptoms throughout the day, mainly fever and a headache. Some but not much coughing. Very slight sore throat.
Much better today (Tuesday). Still a slight headache but fever seems to have broken. I got the two vaccine shots in the first half of last year mainly for the purposes of travel and I think these are providing some protection. Overall I've had much worse with flus over the years.
I will still avoid spreading it around now that I have it as I would with the flu.
oh ok same as me - mine started Tue too (in hind sight)
might be a true negative so..
though you don't need to do any more tests really..
from tomorrow on your good to so, if you symptoms are gone
Done a HSE one and it was positive (C line full and a really faded line on T) but i am feeling a lot better, hopefully a sign its coming to an end
Tested positive yesterday for first time.
Woke up with headache which wouldn't shift all day. Feeling in my nose like bad sinus. Energy levels dropped as day went on & feeling poorly by evening with slight cough & tight chest.
Poorly today with very low energy levels, sore neck & arms, legs.
Question ..... on day 7 or 8 of isolating if doing an antigen test - will the test be negative or still positive ????
Just wondering...... am heading back to work on day 8 either way
Could be wrong but think Covid could be still in your system after day 7 (still showing positive result even though you have very mild/no symptoms)but its not transmissible
I thought once you've no new symptoms and 2 negatives tests within 48hrs you were okay
you could still be positive on antigen test.. but not contagious (after 8 days in total with 1st day of symptoms being day 0)
ie: don't bother doing antigen tests after 8 days in total
well started having symptoms on Tue - didn't get a positive antigen test till Fri.. and I had no symptoms by then..
my wife is currently locked in the bedroom with it.
its funny, i had it pre vaccines, and in all honestyh i breezed through it, fever for 24 hours and loss of taste and smell, that was it.
this new variant is supposed to be mild, we've all had boosters etc... and it seems to me my wife is 20 times worse than i was. She's got the worst cough ive ever heard, no energy, bunged up. Looks a real nasty dose to be honest.
she wasnt feeling 100% on Saturday, but tested negative on an antigen. Negative again on Monday, but wasnt feeling any better so tested again yesterday morning, and it finally showed up as positive. Im hoping she's fairly free of it by the weekend as currently doing my best to keep our 2 young children out of the house and im sleeping in a childs bunk bed to.....im 6ft 3......its beyond a tight squeeze 🙃
Negative test on Day 5
Throat is still a bit numb but going in the right direction overall
Same but ive a silly cough tahys not a cough! Finger's crossed. Delighted for you.
is that day 5 from first symptom, or from your first positive test?
didn't your symptoms start last Tue? if so this is your day 8
End of the fourth full day for me. Posted on the second full day here.
I don't think I got the worst dose of it considering some of the posts on this thread. Sore throat particularly in the morning. Bit of a cough occasionally. In summary, mild cold symptoms.
Tested positive today. Thought I had bronchitis earlier in the week as I was a bit phlegmy, and had tested negative earlier on in the week.Now I have a positive antigen test. Cough is now dry and tickly, more annoying than anything else. Head a bit stuffy too but no fever. Not much appetite either. I think I might have picked it up at a Crowded House concert the other night.
Too crowded?
As a matter of interest ABC , how do you do that here thing on here where it links you back ? Very handy .
I know so many people with it currently. Seems the most rampant it's been.
