I believe I had coronavirus at the end of March.
I started having abdominal pains unlike any abdominal pains I have had before. I suffer from Diverticulitis, but these pains were definitely not associated with my condition. I then started having
Diarrhoea, a severe headache, nausea, extreme tiredness and my muscles and joints were aching. The strange thing was I felt fine in myself but I called 111 as I needed to know if I could have contracted the virus. Because I answered no to ' have I got a dry cough, fever and temperature', I was told I didn't have it and was not offered a test. I suffered from all my original symptoms for nearly 3 weeks (I self isolated by choice). I recalled 111 after a week of symptoms not easing but once again was told I didn't have it and again no test offered. My toilet visits were so bad I was using a full roll a day myself (Andrex, not the cheap brands) .
After 3 weeks my abdominal pain had subsided, along with the joint and muscle pains and nausea. My toilet trips finally stopped after 4 1/2 weeks and the headache after 5 weeks. I started feeling normal again about the first week of May. I also had no loss of appetite at all.
About me :
I am normally a healthy, 5 foot, 54 year old woman who eats a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
I would like to know if anybody else has experienced these symptoms and had the test that came back positive. I live on the Isle of Man and know that one other lady tested positive with exactly the same symptoms I had. She too said She felt well in herself. She is 28years old.
I know some of my symptoms are recognised by WHO but how many other people have been untested because of not showing the official symptoms ?
