Long covid - what are your symptoms and how long?

[gmfizz]

I had covid back in June, my first symptom was lower back ache which literally appeared out of nowhere and then I tested positive. I've had a few symptoms since like tinnitus for several weeks after and still have tiredness/brain fog and the backache. Some days its worse and others I feel like it's almost gone. Would like to hear others' experiences?

Tiredness and tinnitus (from 2nd bout in August)

I don't think you should rule it out as long covid until you've seen your GP and even had some tests done.

Not in a rude way but it's easy to minimise some symptoms as long covid when in fact it might not be at all.

I had covid in 2020. I had aches and pains, episodes of the chills, fatigue and tinnitus in one ear. My symptoms improved after about 4 months and then I would occasionally get bouts of the chills with decreasing frequency for about another 5. I still have tinnitus, though.

Also mild asthma, which I didn't have previously, but that has receded and I haven't used an inhaler for at least a year.

I had Covid in March and now get aches and pains, breathlessness if I do any exercise that gets my heart rate up, mild fatigue and brain fog though do slowly seem to be reaching a point where I am almost back to normal so long as I don't do too much.
