Hi All,
I am posting here because I am not getting any help from NHS regarding my condition.
I think I have between mild to moderate symptoms of coronavirus but there is no way for me to confirm this. So please help …
It started with very mild body pains, headache then some mild fever on the 5th of March. My body was feeling hot like a kettle but thermometer was showing 37C only because I was sweating profusely at night which kept the temperature down. I was feeling a kind of numbness in my entire body like I never felt before. I took paracetamol daily to control those symptoms and was feeling better(normal) after 4 days. Then on 12th March I had a bit of cough which lasted for 3-4 days and I managed to get rid of it by taking home remedies. All the symptoms were mild and manageable.
By 17th March I developed a mild sore throat which worsened the next day. I took paracetamol again along with cpm(antihistamine) twice for a couple of days. Also did salt water gargling twice that completely got rid of the sore throat by 19th March.
20th March I woke up at 3AM completely drenched in sweat. Took paracetamol again(I think thrice) that helped controlling the temperature. Called 111 first time and was advised to self-isolate for 7-14 days.
From 21st to 26th March I was feeling mostly normal with some mild sporadic bouts of temperature and sweating. Was feeling bit dull on odd days so kept taking paracetamol once a day throughout. From 27th-30th March I was feeling completely cured with no symptoms of any kind and I thought I had shaken it off.
On 31st March I woke up NOT feeling 100% well. I sweat profusely again that night. Had mild bouts of temperature and sweating again over the next 3-4 days. Started taking 1/2 a paracetamol every day again.
On 5th April started feeling dull and worried more than the previous days. Body felt like a hot kettle again at night and couldn’t sleep.
6th March 4:00 AM called 111 and tried to explain my symptoms to them and my concern that even though the symptoms are mild to moderate its exactly a month since they started. They couldn’t help and asked me to wait for a few more days or call my GP for further advice.
One common persistent symptom that I felt everyday during the ordeal is numbness and pain in my legs towards the evening each day. Haven’t seen anywhere online where this has been listed as a possible symptom of Coronavirus.
Along with paracetamol I have also been taking some home remedies daily like Vitamin C effervescent drink, honey with ginger in warm water, a egg a day and other remedies.
Please can anyone who has had similar symptoms or who has the know how of the symptoms of coronavirus please advice if my symptoms indicate that I have Coronavirus and if so why would I be taking so long to get cured.
Thank you.
