Just that really. I started testing negative over a week ago and am having to spend most of the day in bed. Terrible headaches and very very tired.

Anyone else got this?

I was off work for 5 weeks and took it very slowly though.

About 5.5 weeks since I started with symptoms, and yesterday was the first day I hadn't felt as though I was swimming through soup! Less tired today, but still barely doing anything to actually make me tired. Two days ago I woke up with everything hurting again. I am still coughing and get rando, periods of a couple of hours when I am either breathless or wheezy.

I was fully jabbed and boosted. It is definitely not a mild cold.

Two weeks since I got over the main symptoms (they lasted about ten days.) now feel fatigued but slowly getting better. Have worked the last couple of weeks. Now I feel really, really low and anxious and wondering if it's the post-viral thing.

I'm day 36. Once testing negative at day 10, my issues were a cough which resolved fairly quickly but the biggest issue was the fatigue . It was like being hit by a sledgehammer - not just a bit tired . A week ago I was really struggling . These past few days I would say Im tired but not fatigued so a massive step forward . So I'm really hopeful that's the end of it. It's not a cold though is it. I don't want this several times a year either .
