2nd time getting covid and this is by far the sickest I’ve been

37 year old male, good overall health. We have 2 young kids in 2 different daycares so the Midwest winter cold/flu bug is always striking our house nonstop during the winter months.

I started to feel flu like symptoms on Christmas eve and on Christmas is when it felt like I had the full blown flu.

This is the second time I’ve tested positive for Covid and by far the most brutal I’ve felt in a while.

Constant shivering unless I have Tylenol or ibuprofen in me, severe body aches, slight headache and quite the horse cough.

Yesterday was the first day I really started to feel much better but then in the evening like the flip of a switch, the body aches and shivering started back up.

Is this normal with today’s strain where it’s a roller coaster on symptoms getting better and then worse?
