Post covid tiredness

[3teens2cats]

Day 13 post positive pcr and struggling to get back to normal activities. Day starts ok but by mid afternoon I'm really struggling. Please tell me it starts to lift soon. All other symptoms have gone, even taste and smell are coming back but this tiredness is awful.

I was the same (except I found the mornings harder and got better as the day went on).

I am about 5 weeks after getting Covid - I'd say every other day is old normal and in between I have a tired day. So it will improve - just slowly.

Don’t try to do too much, OP. Rest as much as you can, and pace yourself. I am still struggling with fatigue and having relapses 19 months after being hospitalised with Covid. Any excess exertion means I am exhausted and stuck on the sofa for three days afterwards. It’s like a chronic fatigue/ME type condition. Allow yourself prolonged recovery time.
