Hi Laura sorry to hear youve also got it
Thankfully the fever went within a few days but i can't do all the stuff I was doing before . the fatigue just hits me . also my smell and taste was fine but this week its very up and down . i lost tasteand smell back in November due to a chest infection for a month and this feels similar. annoyingly it makes me want food more and i want to "feel textures" ... haha! daft
how are you now ?

Hi Amanda!
I just found out 6 days ago that I was positive. My first severe symptom was a headache and it was a whopper! I still have it! My nose and eyes were burning and very irritated after about 3 days and then today, I lost my sense of smell and taste! Wow, it's so weird! I am having hard time finding anything specific about Coronavirus, everything is so general, that is why I came to this sight. I have read that it is common to have a burning sensation in eyes and nasal passages. I am isolating (10 days from my husband and dogs) so I am hoping by this Thursday, I will be able to feel somewhat back to normal. My emotions have played with my mind with just so many future uncertainties. You are not alone, if you need someone to talk to!

hi Peggy
so sorry how are you feeling now ?
it is interesting. i rang my GP back in october for an "irritated nose". yes i was embarrassed at that but It was itchy, sneezy, and then I got a cough and was signed off for three weeks with a chest infection. tested negative.
then in Jan i had the eyes symptoms. and a very runny nose . then the fever hit!
my taste and smell reappeared in jan for two weeks after going from the november chest infection . only now about two weeks after catching covid it is going although weirdly seems to come back for a few hours at a time!
I also had the headache for four weeks. painkillers did not shift it not sure how long i was infectious ... the sites nor the beloved nhs are able to say. it can be a lonely place once diagnosed and you are then self monitoring
are you feeling better now?

For some reason the thought of you isolating from your dogs brought a smile to my face. Wish you a speedy recovery so you can get back to your puppies.
