Struggling with tiredness after covid

Had Covid last week.
I am on day 9 from testing positive on Wednesday (although felt rough for 24 hours before that but was negative).
I had a strong positive yesterday but a very faint positive today so hopefully the virus is on its way out.
I am feeling so much better symptom-wise but am so, so tired. I just can not shake it despite sleeping heavily each night AND having a nap in the day.
DH and DD both had it but they bounced back fine with no tiredness.
I feel like I haven’t slept for a week.
Anyone else feel like this?

Yeah. Doesn’t seem to matter how much I sleep. Other symptoms haven’t been that bad compared to the fatigue.

I was like that when I had it in Jan. exhausted for weeks and needed to nap most days. I still got more tired than usual for a good month or so but then was back to normal. Just tested positive again and I'm hoping it's better this time, but we shall see. I would advise being super kind to yourself, pace yourself and rest when you can. Fatigue is so common afterwards
