I had Covid in March/April. the worst symptoms cleared up at 30 days but fatigue has never lifted. I've tried various vitamins, steroids, exercise, not exercising and nothing seems to help. Now I'm at day 91. Most days I'm in bed as much as I'm out. I struggle to walk half a mile. Can't be vertical for too long. 51 years old, no underlying health conditions, was in good shape before covid. I'd be interested in hearing what people with similar experience have found that has helped them get out of long term symptoms.

It'd be great if we got a list of success stories!

    I spent 6 days in hospital, 4 days on oxygen and have now been home 12 weeks today.

    Still exhausted every day by 3/4pm and need to sleep for 45 mins or so.

    It is a strange feeling that comes over me, sheer exhaustion, every part of my body and after, tend to have a mild headache.

    I am struggling to believe it is still the covid making me feel like this.
