the main reason NYC is even if you have the symptons you won't get tested unless you've visited Italy /China up until 2 weeks ago anyway as i was going mad with Public Health Wales on the phone when my lad had a temperature of 38.5 degrees for 3 days and a dry whooping cough for about 1 week . today one of my parents neighbours who is a front line nurse got sent home having treated some one who was tested positive . awaiting a test i am being told

I'm starting to think I may have had it 6 weeks ago. I was severely ill with flu-like symptoms, but not quite like anything I'd experienced before. Fever sore throat, slight cough, aching body, severe discomfort but no runny nose. I went to a doctor and tested negative for flu.
I moved into the spare room for a week and my family were fine. Having said that my daughter had been sick prior to that. I guess I won't know until they come out with an antibody test.

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
I think that there are many different types of symptoms that people can get when they catch this virus.
Many people that have caught it have reported different symptoms to the next person and no two cases are the same.
Look at the range of symptoms listed in this article and if you've had a few of these symptoms then I'd say your more than likely to have it now, or have had it.

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
I'm on day 5 now.
Had sweats again in bed last night and it's been a bit of a struggle for breath after climbing the stairs yesterday, but today I feel a lot better apart from my kidneys feeling a bit sore or swollen. Feeling much better in myself though. My Mrs on day two yesterday was in quite a bad way but after getting the sweats out in bed all night she says she is feeling a bit better today thank god.

Have you been diagnosed with actual Coronavirus? Holy shit. My mate thought he had it but it turned out to be Swine Flu and said it was bloody awful. Get well soon mate.

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.

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
We never had any time to go out. Had a few beers in pub for 4 hours and we got put into total Lock-down in our hotel rooms for the remaining 3 days. Few beers in the hotel room but nothing major

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
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?

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
Just found this article helpful.
22 Days to clear from start to finish.

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
Just spoke to my nephew, he's in his late twenties, on House Party. He thinks he's got it because he's had most of the main symptoms (he hasn't had as much of a fever as he thought he would though). He's been ill since Friday, but didn't look too bad.

You wouldn't be feeling like that after 4 days on the piss.

I think that is right.
Almost nobody gets tested for it in the UK, and of those that are tested, less than 1 in 10 actually has it. Some family friends were convinced their baby had it- the entire family had the classic symptoms, but it was just a range of seasonal viruses. A colleague came back from Italy in feb, self-isolated and his wife thought she had it about 2 weeks into the self-isolation. But it turns out it was the normal flu.
Let's face it - for good reason, anyone feeling a bit under the weather is going to worry that they have it.

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.

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
My Mrs is going through exactly the same cycle but a couple of days behind me. I'm hoping that this pain doesn't get any higher tonight and it's just caused through the amount of time I've been laying in bed. But like I said it has put me on major alert incase this swelling goes up any higher in my side

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
This is, perhaps, the one time in my life that I’m tolerating drama queens, you know, the ones who almost want to be ill when there’s something going around, as if they’re missing out. Anyone who thinks they’ve got the symptoms should take action immediately I reckon.
-
Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
You’ve got us all worried Uncle Bob.
You really need to make a phone call and get checked over. If you wait any longer and it’s something more serious, you may regret the delay.

If you have got it you could get pneumonia which manifests as pain in your torso. If they get you treated earlier it'll stop it from getting more serious.

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
If it gets any worse by tomorrow when I wake up I will definitely call 101.
Really don't want to waste the NHS time if I can recover at home by myself.
Been drinking hot water today and so far it's not got any worse.

Re: Has anyone on here caught it yet?
Hiya guys, well what a bloody night that was.
I'm glad to say that I'm still alive and kicking.
I feel really better today the pain has gone from my side but what a scary night I had.
I have never felt so scared of dying in my life.
The dreams I had last night were off the scale.
I'm writing this little journey of my virus not for any sympathy or anything, but for people who may get it at some stage to look at and compare things and it may help you or friends in the future and put your mind at rest.
I'm now on day 6 of having this virus and each day from day 3, you wake up feeling better than the day before.
The pain in my side yesterday may have been connected with what was going on I don't know? Or it could just have been from the amount of time I've been laying down in bed and on my side? Again I don't know?
However, last night before I went to bed at about 11pm I felt sick for the first time since I've had this virus and was violently ill in the toilet.
Now, I'm having a bit of banter with my mates who I went to benidorm with on a wattsapp group we set up and as soon as I woke this morning after the few hours sleep I did manage I sent them this message.....
Just when you think your starting to feel better.
Yesterday, I had a good day, flu symptoms starting to ease away lovely I think.
Had the pain in my side,
Just before bedtime I feel sick so rather than lay in bed and wait for the sick to come I get up and be sick in the toilet.
All watery fluid, not very pleasant, but at least now I can sleep easy.
Get off to sleep, wake up an hour later, again I get up very Very hot, soaking wet, and this time I vomit for about 10 minutes down toilet, so much its coming through my eyeballs and burning me so much.
Clean up, go back to bed. Then,
I had one of the scariest nights of my entire life last night.
Every 20 mins waking up delirious with sweat pouring from me, dreaming the most horrific dreams you could imagine and having so much heat in your body you believe your about to die in bed everytime you nod back off to sleep.
I was convinced that I was a gonna.
I had ****ing Elvis trying to convince me to go with him at one point in one dream in his full white suit he used to wear on stage. Telling me it'll be good on the other side. I probably might have gone if I even liked Elvis but I hate his ****ing music so luckily I didn't want to go with him and then I woke up crying again.
It was dream after dream full on until eventually I woke up to afraid to go back to sleep as I had thousands of spiders crawling all over me in my final dream.
Had a Complete breakdown for 10 mins thinking it was the end my Mrs trying to calm me down as I was hysterical.
It's mad, you think your getting better by day but then at night time when you get the fever it knocks you right down and its then that you realise that your still not out of the danger yet.
Cue the piss take from my mates and puns about elvis songs for the last 2 hours on my wattsapp. And on here next. Lol
Anyway. I'm on day 6.
I feel really good today.
But be prepared to warn people that if they do get this they will feel better, but the night time fever may be the hardest thing of all to overcome. It's so scary.
Be interesting to know how long this actually goes on for as I've read it can go on for 22 days in your body if your admitted to hospital as well.
Stay safe everybody.
