Is this long covid?

[BettyForgety]

I had a positive test for covid about 6 weeks ago.

My main symptoms have passed now but I still feel absolutely exhausted. I also feel dizzy if I try and do too much.

It’s so frustrating

Not yet, I think at 6 weeks you are still in post viral fatigue territory. You need to rest, rest and rest some more. Then as you improve start to build up activity very slowly.

Might be worth contacting your gp in case anything has changed, but I was referred to the COVID recovery clinic after 12 weeks (they did lots if tests but basically I recovered by myself over 7 months).

Thank you. It’s so frustrating, I can’t get anything done because when I try I feel really ill again. I’ll definitely take your advice about resting. Sorry you had to go through seven months of feeling rubbish before you felt better agin.
