I’ve had a weird experience with feeling unwell recently.
On Saturday evening: I had diarrhoea but felt fine and shrugged it off.
Sunday: I had the same again and my throat was feeling a little scratchy and later in the day I started feeling really tired
Monday: I woke up with a really bad sore throat which slowly disappeared and gradually throughout the day I started feeling malaise which got worse and worse until I felt so bad, I was convinced I had the flu. To the point I felt so physically unwell and exhausted that I couldn’t get to sleep until about 3:30-4:00 AM
Tuesday (today): I woke up and felt fine for about 10 minutes and then immediately ended up feeling awful again wose than last night. And at around 2pm I instantly felt normal again. It’s around 11:30PM now and I’m still feeling fine albeit a little low energy which may be psychosomatic, I’m not sure.
I don’t know whats been going on. Whenever I get sick it always lasts about a week. It’s almost like I got a case of really bad flu for 24 hours and then poof gone.
Does anyone know what it might be?

Congratulations…. You got a cold. This is normal. Lots of viruses pinging about they last a variable amount based on how familiar your immune system is to it. Get well soon!
I’ve been getting this lately. I’m always wondering if long Covid is to blame.
I basically literally just went through this/am going through this. Felt totally find Saturday and most of sunday..started feeling super out of it an lethargic Sunday afternoon. Thought it was allergies, but woke up Monday morning throwing up with awful congestion and sore throat. Horrible cough today.
About a month ago this exact thing happened to me too but with a cough so bad that I was throwing up from coughing so hard. It lasted over a week. Ugh I’m hoping it doesn’t last that long again
Is everyone just pretending Covid doesn’t exist anymore? Did you do a test?
