A fever and muscle aches almost three weeks after testing positive ?

I tested positive for covid almost three weeks ago. Wasn't too bad.

I feel quite similar again. Muscle aches, slight sore throat.. My DD also had it a few days after me and had seemed to recover, but now also has a fever again and I think a sore throat.

So either it's a new thing, or is it still covid ?? Confusing !

Do you have any LF tests? Could be lingering symptoms- post-viral stuff.

Would it matter if it was covid again ? I'm at home anyway, so not going to infect anyone. Is that even possible that I can have it again so soon ? I did test negative on around day 8-9.

I've been negative for a week now but still have headaches, dizziness and fatigue. In fact it's worse now then when I was positive.

Negative LFT. Must have picked another bug up. High temperature all night and severe muscle pain.

I had Covid 2nd week of January. Lasted a week. Wasn’t really that sick. Then immediately got a cold. Then was very tired. Then if I did too much I would get tired and muscle aches/jabbing pains. This was on and off until second week of February
I think you can be more vulnerable to other bugs after Covid.
Rest, take it easy and listen to your body.

I caught Covid in early Jan, The fatigue and dizziness continued for WEEKS. Every time I had a more active day I was exhausted the day after, until very recently. I've still got tinnitus 11 weeks on!
Other people I've spoken to said it can take 12 weeks to feel properly right again, even if you weren't that ill at the time.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but try to pace yourself as you recover.

I totally get it! Sorry to hear about your struggles.

Mine is strange, I've literally got a fever / flu situation going on. So I suspect I have picked up something new.
