How long before you started to feel well again after Covid?

I tested positive two weeks ago (am fully vaccinated including recent booster) and have had nausea, general flu like feeling and worst of all complete exhaustion since.

Each morning I wake up hoping I'll at least feel a bit better today but I just have that same blanket of exhaustion. It's also making me feel really down, mentally.

I haven't lost my sense of taste but I've got constant nausea and so haven't eaten much; just snack food really as and when I fancy it.

How long did it take you to feel better? DH tested positive the same time and felt unwell for a couple of days. I think he's getting a bit fed up of the fact that I'm so unwell and can't do anything.

I just feel so down

Hi. I had a fairly standard two weeks feeling gradually better each day, albeit horrible! Feel fine now. My husband had a terrible time like you, even thouhg he is more vaccinated than me! We are both normal and so are you! It can be a really nasty virus. SOme get off lightly like me, others get a shit show like my husband and you. It's shit, but it is well within normal. Try to be nice to yourself, comfot yourself however woks. Get well soon

8 weeks to feel totally better, with the headache and tiredness gone.
Still haven't got my sense of taste and smell back though, tested positive 12th October

Oh god, I think DH would divorce me if I was ill for 8 weeks
