Tired after cold?

[alwaystired21]

I've just got over a bugger of a cold. I didn't have flu symptoms, just a very heavy cold, lots of congestion etc. didn't help it was half term and I was on my own with 2 kids. Almost 2 weeks since it started and I'm over the worst, first day I've not had to blow my nose yet.

But I'm SO TIRED. I'm taking I can sleep 10pm-10am and need to sleep again by 2pm. I've never felt this tired. I feel sick a lot too.

Could this be to do with the cold?

No answers sorry but just wanted to say I'm the same!

Most likely it is yes. You may still be fighting the last of it off.

@FiftyNotNifty have you had a cold too and feel tired out after?

Yes! Absolutely done. Sleeping 10+ hrs a night, plus naps, and worried about going back to work
(On AL just now)

@FiftyNotNifty that's exactly what I'm like! Going to bed about 9ish easily sleeping until 9ish and still exhausted during the day. Bad lower back pain too. It was just an average heavy cold, it wasn't flu or covid or anything!
