Do you have any LFT tests?
Have covid at the moment (guessing omicron but who knows). Main symptoms have been back + leg pain. Plus some cold symptoms. LFT tests have been very accurate for me - positive results each time I've taken one.
Had booster a few weeks ago so I presume I'm one of the unlucky 25%. Though maybe it would have been worse if I'd not had it - really symptoms have been pretty mild and having to quarantine from family in bedroom has been worst of it.
Have had non-stop colds brought home from children's school over the last couple of months and all of them have been worse than covid for me.

Was meant to get the train today to see my parents for the first time in quite a while, but I woke up on Friday with a very sore throat and a notification that I'd been in close contact with a positive case on Tuesday (80% sure it was my manager). Had to make a decision on whether to go and eventually called them and told them we wouldn't be there, although my brother and sister-in-law are still going. Everyone was gutted but I think it was the right decision; whatever I have is currently kicking the shit out of me and I wouldn't want either of my parents to be exposed. My dad's care home just came out of a weeks-long block on visitors after several positive cases there so it would be so bad if I was the cause of another one of those.
I took a walk-through PCR in Crouch End on Friday at lunchtime but haven't had a result yet; this is the first time it's taken more than 24 hours for me but I guess they must be overwhelmed right now? If it's not Covid it's possibly the flu because I feel really awful and had pain all down my back and into my limbs this morning.
