I had what I assume was Omicron at Christmas, felt dreadful for about a week, and still rubbish for a few days after that. |  |

I was rough, testing positive for a week. First negative test was 9 days ago, and I am still really poorly, with ongoing cold symptoms (box of tissues a day level), and sleeping ridiculous hours.
The younger you are, the easier it is - so it seems. (I am not young...) |  | | |

Mild cold symptoms for about 3 days, peak crappyness (in bed) then lasted about 3 days, it did hang on a bit though and still felt very tired and under the weather for another 4 or 5 days after that. Like a 5 minute walk would mean a good 30 minutes recovery.
I would say the whole thing, from positive lft but no symptoms through to completely recovered, was about 2 weeks. [Post edited 1 Mar 2022 12:24]

About 3 days feeling rubbish, another week slowly recovering.
Loss of taste and smell for another 3 weeks before it slowly returned.
Felt like a really bad cold more than anything else. |  |

Cheers, feels like extreme jet lag and flu rolled into one.
Dread to think how people were pre vaccines. | |

So pretty much looking at 2 weeks of roughness then, happy days. | |

I was lucky - I tested positive last week, had a slight headache, felt more like eye strain than anything else. No other symptoms at all, apart from boredom.
Get well soon. |  | | |

Both my kids had it in January. Both double vaccinated. Almost identical symptoms for them both; fever day 1, extreme tiredness day 2, then totally fine. |  |

I tested positive Feb 14th, felt like death on 15th and 16th, slowly improved after that over the course of the next week.
However, I was still testing positive 12 days in and even now am nowhere near 100%, still lethargic, mild cold symptoms.
My other half was a week in front of me and is till having some respiratory issues even now. I didn't have that fortunately. |  |

Junior felt cr@p for about a week. Luckily Covid does not exist anymore. (War has vanished it from Guardian online.) |  |

Finally tested positive on Sunday having had a rough weekend. Now feeling worse and not finding it’s subsiding. Grrrrr
2 years with nothing, then boom. Missus also tested positive on Sunday having tested negative Saturday despite 5 days of a hacking cold. |  |

That's quite common- a week of so of symptoms before testing +...
So, I had 8 days of symptoms but negative tests. Then a week of feeling terrible and +. (Night 3 I had breathing / chest problems). Then a week of gradual recovery whilst feeling rubbish, new issues incl migraine and chills. This week, virus-triggered gout (it's even worse when I can't blame bad living), the snottiest nose ever and regular sneezing fits. Tiredness throughout. | | | |

Exactly as my daughter experienced it. I didn't catch it, despite living in a small flat with her. |  |

A slightly nastier cold that lingered for like 4 days or so, then the loss of taste to deal with which lasted probably around a month before getting back to normal. Otherwise wasn't too bad. |  |

Cheers Dan, and everyone else, 5 days in and starting to feel a little bit normal thankfully, left with a hacking cough but not the general roughness of the first few days. | |

Its impact seems to vary massively. My ski chum’s misses at Christmas felt unwell for a day, below par for a couple of days but not too bad. She’s not young, has a fair few health problems including bad asthma. Their son felt like death with it for a week.
The clever medical bods and scientists have learned so much about it in such a short time, but I guess there’s still a ton more to learn, including long Covid effects. |  | | |

I tested positive on Sunday, having tested negative only yhe day before. I had what I thought was a bit of a chesty cough and the sniffles (thought it was the air con at work) did a test on Sun and it was positive...
Glad I am triple jabbed as I've felt quite rubbish with it... had flu like symptoms, bad cough and cold and nausea last night...
Got a bit lax regarding wearing a mask when out and about, so, although they're are not a legal requirement I'd recommend still wearing 1 | | | |
