Fatigued and headache

[Choccyaddict4eva]

I tested positive for Covid last week, today is day 10. My symptoms weren’t that severe, started off with a runny nose, tiredness, and then a throbbing headache on one side. No cough or temperature. I’m double vaccinated. However I just still feel so tired and get worn out quickly. I’ve obviously only been at home since testing positive and have been getting quite a lot of rest. Head starts to hurt too when I start to feel tired. Has anyone else felt like this still on day 10? How long until you felt more like yourself and did you take any vitamins to aid with your recovery? Was taking paracetamol at the beginning when I felt worse but I don’t want to become too reliant on it. I’m also going back to work tomorrow.

Yes day 14/15 ish for me and I’m still tired and got a fuzzy head/floaty/spaced out feeling on and off which is really frustrating. I’ve been taking vitamin c, zinc and d, no idea if it’s helping at all or not.

Sorry to hear that @Rainydays55 it’s so frustrating isn’t it? What were your other symptoms? Someone else recommended those vitamins to me too, I’m going to go get some tomorrow.

I had bad body aches, nighty sweets, sore throat to start, cough, heavy cold, really bad back ache for two random days, all of that seems to have gone touch wood but I’m left with tiredness and this head/floaty/brain fog feeling. People keep saying to be patient and all you can do is rest and give it time….

Yes. My last headache day was around day 10 and the tiredness stopped around then too.

Sense of smell just coming back now, day 20 something.

Fingers crossed you'll be on the mend soon

PS I took vits C & D and zinc, and also quercetin and NAC

Oh dear poor you, hopefully the vitamins are helping and it won’t be long until you’re back to normal again 🤞🏼

Thanks @morticiamarkle I honestly thought because I didn’t get awful symptoms I’d feel back to normal by now 😞 it’s good to know your last headache was on day 10. I’m contemplating calling in sick tomorrow as I’m worried how I will cope being back at work (I’m a teacher) so no chance of taking it easy behind a desk.

What are quercetin and NAC? Haven’t heard of these vitamins before. Can I get them from a high street chemist?
