People who tested positive, how are you feeling?

Yes but with reduced sensitivity so maybe less likely to detect in early stages - but if you have full blown symptoms should pick it up.

Husband's test went positive almost instantly. I'm still negative with almost identical symptoms (maybe not quite as severe) that kicked in within an hour or two of his. Same batch of tests. So who knows. Is there an accuracy issue or maybe I've just got a cold.

(I'm only concerned because we look after my elderly mother, and she minds our kids sometimes. With a cold, just I stay away for the first few days, if it's covid we'll be a lot more strict on who sees her and when)

2 days testing negative now .nose is blocked as are my sinus . Headaches and sore throat and small amount of sweats . Like a cold really but it happened around my family funeral and several family members have it now . Phlegm from my chest is not great . If it wasn’t for covid I’d sware it’s a winter chest infection .

Ive gotten it 3 times. Very inconsistent symptoms.

1st time i was vaccinated, but didnt get any boosters since then.

1st time - Wife got it and i tested positive but was only a little tired.

2nd time - knocked me out and was off work for 5 days.

3rd time - almost didnt notice, just tested because i felt a bit weird and had some tests laying around.

Tested positive 9 days ago - still positive today first time to get it. Is there any advice on when to return to exercise. Headache and temp for a few days but not too back since - intermittent phglem since.

I reckon I had it last weekend. Sore throat Friday that gave way to spluttering, sneezing and a nose drip that was constant for 24 hrs and then over a couple of days it cleared up. Lots of phlegm in the clearout. No headaches like I had with covid last year.

This dose seemed just contained to my sinus area, no cough.

I managed to dodge the covid bullet until a little over a month ago. I was feverish, fatigued, some breathing difficulty. But it felt manageable and symptoms started to ease. That was until 8 days after my initial positive test. I woke up with a deep ache in my lower back, a stinging/scalding sensation on the surface of the skin in the same site, but a numbness to the site with touch. I was very confused, I even wondered if I had falling down the stairs while sleep walking. Later that evening I became feverish and lethargic again and with other symptoms such as running nose of covid came back but multiplied.

It turned out that I had developed shingles during covid. I was prescribed anti-inflammatories, decongestants, and anti-virals. I became very lethargic. I was even experiencing shortness of breath while resting, but it never got to the stage were I couldn't breath and needed an ambulance (but the thought worried me). I found it very difficult to wash and even feed myself during that first week. The pain and shortness of breath eased over time. But it is, and continues to be, a gradual process. I am still feeling fatigued, shortness of breath on exertion, a dry cough and runny nose, and left with lingering pain from the shingles site with a condition called postherpetic neuralgia.

I remain positive. Things seem to be gradually improving with some days of set back, but overall heading in the right direction
