I’ve been feeling rubbish for a good few weeks now. Mainly headaches, lethargy, sore throat, feeling coldy but without it developing into one, aching all over. When I’ve had to be active I can be - I’ve just worked for two weeks solid (no days off - I usually work part time) and was able to put it out of my head most of the time, but as soon as I stop I feel awful. Which means that when I’m at home I’m a bit useless, so I also feel guilty that DH is doing most things. It’s probably a couple of months since I felt completely normal. Could it still be a virus? I’m also wheezy on and off but when I saw the nurse a couple of weeks ago she was only bothered whether I’d taken my inhaler and didn’t even respond to all the other stuff I mentioned. I’m worried I sound like a total hypochondriac but I rarely get headaches and I’ve not felt ill for this long before!

Any ideas on what I could try next…?!

Blood tests.

Covid can linger a lot and it’s pretty rife at moment, but probably a good idea to get some bloods done.
