Covid-9 symptoms for 9+ weeks

I'm going through something similar except I'm at 10 weeks. I have enough to go to work around 3 days and week and also do some exercise including bike rides, light exercises at home, walks etc... But nowhere near my previous level of energy.

How is your energy level now? Can you manage daily activities (cooking etc...) and some exercise?

Also I'm sleeping terrible. Not very deep sleep, and waking up every 1-2 hours or so.

I think it is due to an over-reactive immune system. Even though the virus is gone your immune system thinks it's still there and keeps on fighting it causing symptoms and inflammation. It will take time for it to settle down.

Doctor also found I was very vitamin D deficient, which might also explain why I'm feeling fatigued and can't sleep properly. I hope this is the case.

Quite a few of your symptoms sound like you could have acid reflux, food coming up, back pain, nausea, not being able to take a full breath yet having good oxygen levels and neck pain. Try taking some esomeprazole every day for this and see if it helps. If you have tested negative for the covid 19 virus twice, what makes you so convinced this is what your symptoms are? There are so many other things they could be. A lot of your symptoms could be explained by anxiety.

I am coming up for eight weeks with this. Symptoms include continuous burning throat and chest, chest pain fatigue. Have also sometimes had headaches, rashes, diarrhoea. Sleep generally ok at 8 hours but wake a few times with symptoms. .Went back to short work days in week 5. Symptoms in waves with two or three bad followed by good . Worst after i had done a bit more activity, over maybe three day period. Not really improved since week 5. Was prescribed omeprazole 3 weeks ago but no difference. Find meditation helps lesson symptoms. Have now signed off work for at least 2 weeks. I intend to do as little as possible during this time.

Hi, I also tested positive for covid about 9 weeks ago. I think I had it mildly compared to some people. a lot of different symptoms like yours but no temperture. The Covid left me with a bad rash and I still have that rash. Today for the first time in a few weeks I felt really bad tightness and pain in my chest and slight shortness of breath. I've never felt so anxious, especially with 3 kids! it scares me so much but I don't know if I'm just being anxious. I've been retested cus of the rash 2 weeks ago but that was negative. hope this helps xx

hi,

I'm in week 10, In bed today again with flu like symptoms and exhaustion.

i had the virus mildly, considering what could have happened, for two weeks. then went back to work for three, then crashed again for two, then back 0.5 or two, now in bed again.

at first i was scared, and felt like no one else was relapsing, but now i realise there are quite a few of us.

it is frustrating, but I'm trying to think this will be fine in three to six months. that way I'm realistic and realistic with my work place.

it sucks, but at least we're alive.

I am in week 9 of virus symptoms. I am 37, no underlying health conditions, fit and healthy. Never been tested as i only requested medical attention (GP) in week 3, by which point i was told there was no point as it wouldn't test positive.

So far i have had two lots of antibiotics, two lots of steriods and i have an inhaler. I did test postive for a bacterial chest infestion around week 6, which i was told would of been a secondary infection to the virus. I have also just had a chest xray which has come back normal.

I had all the main symptoms, fever, aches, cough, conjunctivitis, diorreha, shortness of breath, fast heart rate, sore throat, reflux, shakes, headaches, sore sinuses, click in my throat when swallow, fatigue, really bad back pain in upper back, burning sensation in back.

I am still struggling a lot with some symptoms, mainly my throat/windpipe hurts constantly like its inflammed, feels like i have a lump in my throat all the time. Getting loads of headaches and ear ache. It really hurts when i take a deep breath in and i get out of breath doing small walks/tasks. Still coughing a lot which gets worse after light exercise. I have only just started being able to sleep on my side again as it was too painful.

I am so fed up of telling people i am still ill, each day i wake up hoping that today will be the day im better but its just not happening. I am not taking any medication currently, just trying to keep the pain at bay with ibuprophen and paracetamol.

I have had pretty much most of the covid-19 symptoms since the start of March. only two weeks ago I thought I had recovered from the illness, only in the past few days I have been suffering with a sore throat, swollen glands in my neck, inflamed nose, migraine and a slight temperature, on top of that I have been having gastric issues such as acid reflux and active bowel movements. It is difficult to sleep, but not impossible. This will be the 8th week of on and off battles with these symptoms. I hope for everyone this all passes by and we can return back to normality.

im so glad to have found this forum, i started feeling unwell about 8 weeks ago at early stages of covid i didnt have fever or cough so didnt get tested, i did have sore throat, chills , extream fatigue , body heating up and like ice the next, ive never felt so weard the symptoms continue still now, body tingling, crawling, fatigue trouble sleeping, heating up at night like burning. i have no underlaying conditions healthy eat well excercise etc before, recovery is very difficult. is anyone else experiencing prickling, tingling weeks later? thx

Hi. 10 weeks on from very mild virus - nasal drip, hoarse voice, sore tongue - week 4 developed mottled forearms and fingers, hands and toes change from white to red to purple randomly - swollen glands come and go all day too. All those symptoms still with me. As others have said - every day a new symptom and no real improvement at all. Usually you get ill - and then there is a steady recovery. With this - just endless and unknown.
