I tested positive over two weeks ago and are out of my isolation period. I still can’t smel anything, taste is pretty dull, really tired and still coughing.

My cough is really wheezy, keep coughing up clear mucous - is this normal ? Thanks

I was in bed for about 3 weeks, felt better around end of week 1 but then worse. I found the cough worse in the 3rd/4th week & smell took about a month to start coming back (and was weird for ages)
Everyone I know that’s had it has been really different, one was vomiting for days on end while another was fine after a couple of days.

I tested positive on December 22nd. I was in bed for a couple of weeks, still have no sense of smell at all, taste is dulled, I cough a lot, especially in the evenings, and am still very tired. I am back to work on reduced hours but still need to sleep in the daytime. Fortunately am WFH so can sneak in a nap most days.

You sound very similar to me. I'm on Day 23 now and just starting to think the end might be in sight, although I really miss my sense of smell.

Yes sounds normal. Keep an eye on the mucus - if it goes yellow/green check in with your gp as you may have a secondary infection. Apart from that, rest as much as possible and dont do too much physical exertion. It can take several weeks to really start getting back to normal.

I foolishly went back to work on day 10, regretting that now on day one 17, still so bloody tired! My throat is mega dry on a night too because of the cough.
Obviously I grateful it’s not any worse.
