How long did your covid symptoms last for

If you have tested positive for covid did you have any symptoms and if so how long would you say it has taken you to feel 100% recovered? I am wondering how much variation there is in cases and how many people experience long term symptoms.

I am in my 40s and only had cold like symptoms plus fatigue and would say I was fully recovered in 7 days. I am taking high dose vit d but not sure if that helped.

Nine months and counting, OP. I have long Covid. Still breathless at 100 yards, still producing excess chest secretions, still coughing.
Previously fit non smoker, mid 60’s.

Two weeks to recover. Cold symptoms, fever for a few days, nausea and upset stomach. Mid 40's, having chemo for breast cancer, but generally a fit non-smoker.

*early 30s

Six weeks today. Still bit sob on exertion, pressure in chest occasionally, hr up if I do anything but much improved. Am improving but nowhere near 100%. Think anxiety is a big issue personally, genuinely was an awful, frightening experience.
Early 50's with asthma/hereditary high bp but both well controlled and above average fitness prior.

Two and a half months so far.

3 1/2 weeks so far, now just getting fatigue and a headache, so it think I'm doing well.
