Is this another symptom??
« on: December 10, 2020, 09:30:43 AM »

I suffer really badly with sweats and the last few days and nights had been horrendous, constantly feeling really hot but chilly at the same time especially my back, at night have had to wear a dressing gown and have a hot water bottle, good for keeping back warm but sweating elsewhere. Called gp this morning and she thinks it could all be menopausal but have an appointment this afternoon to rule out infection. Also constantly feel like I have a cold coming

11 hours after taking 'taxmofin' I felt like I had 'flu - I was in Hospital at the time.  It scared me a lot.  So I would think that your symptoms are hormonal.  You might like to tell your Dr my experiences - it's all about sharing so that we can all learn. 

Let us know how you get on?

Hi CLKD
The anxiety it causes is terrible, I am convinced it could be covid and that's making me feel worse.
Just want to go to bed and sleep it all away xx

C-19 has different symptoms.  You would know if it was the Germ. 

R U running a temperature down your back?
Do you ache, have a sore throat, loss of sense of smell and taste

How long has it been going on for? If it arrived overnight it could well be a virus, meno symptoms often start off sporadically and are a bit up and down before getting really bad - or at least mine were  :(

No temperature or loss of smell or taste. My whole body aches but has done for a long time as I have fibromyalgia.
Have been getting the sweats for ages but have been getting worse, the chills more recently, it has got worse since Monday xx
