Has anyone on here caught it yet?

I've had it for 4 days now.
Started off as aching bones in my fingers.
Then aching all over the next day with shivers.
Felt so drained and cold.
Took only paracetamol as was recommended and this really helped a lot.
On the 2nd night I had night sweats in bed and t-shirt I was wearing was soaking wet also the bedding and pillow case soaking.
This made things feel a lot better on the 3rd day.
Had diarrhea on 3rd day like black treacle.
Feel great as long as the paracetamol are inside you but as soon as they wear off you get the shivers again and need to sleep.
Most people that get it they reckon have a dry cough or a high fever. I think this information is incorrect.
Or misleading.
As I was not hot to touch I thought I couldn't have it.
However my cousin who is a nurse has said you don't need to be hot to have a temperature, by having the sweats at night this is a fever so basically the same thing. They should update this information as it's so misleading.
I read a story on Wales online about a woman and her husband who both had it and didn't have these symptoms that the NHS Wales website said you would have if you caught it

Had that last year after Ibiza, and Albufeira the year before, benidorm the year before that etc. It's called a comedown mate.

It's a come down if you've been lashing your body with smack.

Getting a bit worried about the pain in my side on my left now. It's getting worse. Maybe because I'm laying in bed too much?
Not a lot I can do but the breaths I'm taking are starting to worry me a bit especially if it gets any worse. Something definitely happening inside. How long does it last if you have it does anybody know? I can't find any information online of when it should clear up by?

I'm not trying to alarm you but having read the symptoms you've had, particularly the unusual bowel movement yesterday and the way you described it, I stronly susupect there is something else going on here with you. In your position I would have a word with my doctor asap.
I'm not being an alarmist keyboard medic here, I'm speaking from over 40 years senior medical experience in the RAF and NHS, just set your mind at rest and check.
