Incredibly exhausted 2 weeks after covid diagnosis

[Anonymous]

So, I apologize for basically sh|t posting, but was just telling my wife a second ago that I thought it was odd that I felt exhausted for the last couple of months and my fatigue didn't get better until *after* I got covid and was able to spend most of the weekend resting.

Maybe you just need another day or two of rest. Sunday was pretty rough for me with a fever. Monday I was tired. But other than a cough and congestion, I feel better today than I have in months.

NP here.
I just tested Tuesday afternoon (positive).
I definitely don’t feel terrible like I did when I contracted COVID in June 2022.
This is probably day 3 and it’s a runny nose, fatigue and headache / sore throat. Fingers crossed it stays mild!
(I did get a booster 3 months ago.)

I am 10 past testing positive and several days past a runny nose. (Never had a cough or fever.)
I am exhausted! I go to work and crash every day after I get home.

I hope all of the PP’s are on the upswing. This is crushing.

Unfortunately a lot of viruses can make you tired for weeks. The best thing you can do is let yourself rest - get lots of sleep, avoid intense exercise. And drink lots of fluids.

It may take a couple of months to recover OP. Same thing happens to me with the flu or a really bad cold.

Pleas try to get as much rest as possible, sleep and rest all weekend if you can.
