Mrs Tiggywinkle Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hive mind: I had Covid almost a week and a half ago. Other than enduring fatigue and short of breath on exertion I have felt fine for about a week now. I went back to work last night, had a fairly easy night(except for the unvaccinated elderly gentlemen who doesn’t believe in Covid even with an oxygen sat of 82 and a positive test), came home and immediately fell asleep. Woke up with a sore throat, 101.5 degree fever and body aches. DS1 has a positive test and maybe an hour of a sore throat on Saturday. He just came in and told me his throat is really sore, he hurts everywhere and just wants to go to bed. Anyone else hearing similar symptoms patterns? I am wondering if I somehow got reinfected or if it’s just kept percolating inside. I did test negative yesterday on a RAT before work. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaelAldrich Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hugs! I doubt you can take it easy but it seems that working too hard might be trouble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I have vaxxed/boosted friends who are having initial negative tests, eventual positives with mild symptoms, and then a decline. My friends by days 10-12 are then getting whammied…like considering ER whammied. This pattern has come up 3-4 times now, in different states, so I think it is a common enough disease course. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I know of several people recently that got Covid kind of like that. They got sick, started getting better, then got worse again before finally getting over it. None of them were ever bad enough to need the ER, just really bad cold level sick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Yes, I had a brief 2-day respite from Covid symptoms where I went for several long walks and vigorous cross-country skiing, back to almost 2 weeks of daily head-aches and shortness of breath from sitting. My breathing actually improves with fast-paced walking. Covid sucks, is about all I can say. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrips Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I thought there was something out several months ago about the 10 day delay. Was it with delta maybe? That symptoms relapsed/got worse around 10 days. It is a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSera Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Could you have strep setting in? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I’ve heard of this happening. It could also be a secondary infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Tiggywinkle Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 I don’t really think it’s strep. My in laws with Covid have had bad sore throats too. I think it’s this stupid virus. I just wondered if people were seeing a similar increase of symptoms around the 9-10 day mark like we did with Delta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I have heard of people getting some kind of virus after Covid—makes me wonder if it simply makes people susceptible to other illnesses for a while. It’s hard to know if there isn’t time separating infections, and people test negative. Omicron is just weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say your body is plum tuckered out, and is reacting to that. When I was caring for my eldest ds after our car accident even though I was far from recovered and shouldn't have been, I would run a fever and ache head to toe at the end of the day even if I had not been in pain earlier. I am convinced that my body was overwhelmed. Too much responsibility, too much work, not enough rest and recovery time. Many hugs! 💓 Edited January 20, 2022 by Faith-manor 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 As sort of a novel (unhappy) thought, is it possible that your consistent under-responsiveness to forming antibodies with vaccines is also leaving you susceptible to repeated bouts with omicron?

scholastica Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Flu A is also going around. I know quite a few people who have tested positive for that recently. Just bad luck getting back to back viruses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He felt sick for about 24 hrs, then better for about 24 hrs, then crummy again for the next 48 hrs. Couldn’t get tested til day 4 of symptoms, positive result day 6. Felt fine by day 8 of symptoms except he still had allergy-like annoying mucus in his nose for another week. Never went into his chest, though, it just stayed an upper respiratory illness for him. Mrs T, any chance your new symptoms are flu A or another virus, or is it similar to how you felt before with CV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraClark Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 We had a nasty cold end of November and my symptoms were still present during our bout of covid (DH positive Dec 20ish, first time I was able to test was Jan 4), so I'm not really sure which was which, but I had a sore throat probably 5 days total between late Dec-Jan. Not 5 consecutive days-I had good days between. It was weird. That was my only symptom, I think, of covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraClark Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Oh, and our 2 year old had a fever, fine the next day, then a fever the following evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristin0713 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I have had a delayed loss of taste and smell. Friday 1/7 I got sick. I could smell everything fine for a week at least. Last week I started drinking coffee again and I hated it! 😭 It tastes so bitter to me now! And I am a die-hard coffee lover and coffee snob. I didn't realize my smell was gone until last night. I sniffed a bunch of essential oils and can't smell them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristin0713 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I do wonder if a delayed fever could be an infection. Pneumonia or something else. Do you still have a fever? If so, please go to the doctor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
