Do I have covid?

[Anonymous]

I'm really not sure. I thought it was a cold, but since my home test came back positive ( dads too ) I'm laying in bed thinking I do indeed have covid.

His test lines are really dark red, where one of mind is faded? so does this mean he definitely had it ten days ago? so he's had it roughly for about a week or so at this point, I think? ( my symptoms began about 2-3 days ago, I think. )

I was having headaches more than usual, eyeballs were hurting, dizzy... now I've lost my appetite a bit, feel nauceous on and off with hot flashes, and coughing now and again with a bit of mucus.

I'm also stuffy and SUPER tired.

I've had it , in my opinion you have it , in most people its like the symptoms you have , my daughter and her husband had it , very similar..

I had the original prior to vaccines , then Omicron after second vaccination , the first time was pretty full on just like a really bad flu , after you come good , it takes another week of absolute laziness , that's the main difference to flu - then BANG , its just gone.

Its not that bad , but sadly I believe strongly you are positive.

So they had the same symptoms as me? -- Yeah, I think I am too :( I had a HUGE panic attack when I found out because I instantly think ( due to mental health ) that I'm going to get worse, or die. I didn't even want to go to sleep as I feared I wouldn't wake up. Sorry if that sounds stupid. I'm fully vaccinated and boostered.

[molonski2]

Im also..
Seriously , don't worry , you will be fine , treat it as a cold and just go with the feeling from your body , first time , I basically slept 14 hours a day , second one ( felt like shit ) but like bad cold. The main one first , the lungs kept filling up , that was a bit scary , but immune worked really well.

True xx thank you.

[joeldalton]

yeah, probably. Get some rest, stay hydrated, take vitamins.

[Asker]

I don't have any vits so just water and rest still okay? thank you for being kind.

[joeldalton]

Sure. Zinc/Quercitin/Vit C and D will help you feel better sooner, though.

[Asker]

True, I just don't have any way of getting any.

[joeldalton]

No family? No grocery delivery? No friends?

[Asker]

I have family and friends. Already done a grocery shop.
I'll ask my mum. It's just me and dad infected as far as we know.

Hey! Sounds like you’ve got it.


I have it too right now and I’m experiencing the cough with some mucus, stuffy nose, and have been a little dizzy too. I felt a bit nauseous on day 1.


You’re going to be ok! Just make sure you drink plenty of water and get lots of rest. I get really anxious too so I understand it’s scary and that you may be thinking the worst but you will be totally fine :)

[Asker]

Awwh, Hun, thank you <3 that's made me feel better a bit. xx I definitely worrying and you will be good too. The mucus is like coming and going? one minute its clogged up my lungs, then it feels like its going/gone, before its back again lol.

[sunflower00]

No problem at all! Yeah I’m sort of the same, it’s worse at some points of the day, especially night when I’m trying to get to sleep I’m finding! But drinking water does help and if you have any hot herbal teas that might help a bit too! Xx

[Asker]

Thank you, I will.. just water at the moment. I've also gone off my food a bit :( but I am sipping chicken soup as much as I can and have my window open a bit. Feel free to message me if you want while you're sick, because I know how comforting it can be when you're going through the same. You're awesome. Truly.

[Asker]

Are you feeling any better today? I'm a bit more phlegmy today.

[sunflower00]

Hey! I’ve felt a bit better today, not coughing as much and a little less blocked up. I’m hoping it’ll get better from now but I’m not in the clear yet! Sorry to hear you’re a bit more phlegmy today but it should start clearing up soon! Feel free to message me any time :)

Do we look like doctors? Go to one and have them run a covid test on you instead of asking us on here

[Asker]

You have to pay for a PCR test now and I can't afford bloody £67 or more each time I think I have covid.

[Asker]

Plus, no need to be a dick to me... I have mental health issues and sickness scares the crap out of me so I'm always looking for those who have been through the same to help me be calmer. Just leave me alone, this site is for all questions - dumb or not.

[Opinion Owner]

you do realize you could get a rapid test from the government for free right?

[Asker]

I did take a lateral test, but some have being showing positive due to colds.

[Asker]

And you now have to pay for lateral tests.

It sounds like you have it. You say you're fully vaccinated and boosted then you are at increased risk because those shots lower the immune system function significantly.

[Asker]

No it doesn't... where you read that bs from? It's increases the safety. I bet you that I would be worse if I wasn't vaccinated.

[Opinion Owner]

It's not just something I've read, it's something I've observed from all kinds of people from different backgrounds that took the shots, at work and in family. In some cases I can spot patterns concerning their health / symptoms and can tell who had the shot, and who did not.

Most of them don't notice, or do not connect the dots. This is something that everyone will learn to be truth in time eventually. Those that are open minded enough to entertain that they may have been lied to, and made a dire mistake, can take steps to treat it. Those that remain in denial will suffer consequences because the longer the time that passes , the more problems occur.

I've noticed that even after a person experiences new problems after each dose, they still say it's safe and harmless...

One of the most common patterns is the length of time any new health problems, even the simple ones last for. Due to the lowered immunity, most things that would have usually resolved in a few days, or a week or two, will now take anywhere from 6 months... to never resolving at all.

This may not be happening to everyone yet. The stronger their immune system, the longer this takes.
