Timeline for the illness and recovery

[Fortyquinn]

Can anyone who has had it please give me a bit of an idea about the timeline, symptoms and how long it took to recover? Family member has been ill for 2 weeks now and I'm a little worried they are not improving. They are not getting any worse either but I'm still worried.

My temperature lingered for 3 weeks, ill for around a week, fatigued another week, but I returned to work after 3 1/2 weeks.

My daughter who is 12 had a mild fever with no other symptoms for 5 weeks. She then was put on antibiotics just in case and the fever went - whether that was coincidental or not, I don't know.

Very interesting!

Am 9 weeks in..recovery can take a long time. Temperature and fluey symptoms have long gone, but am left with shortness of breath, chest pain and tightness and quite bad fatigue (I do have asthma and other conditions) My GP was not overly surprised I was still struggling when I spoke to him this morning. Initial period of symptoms I would say lasted about 5 weeks but were very up and down with weeks 2 and 3 being the worst.
