Took me about two, two and a half weeks. It wasn't terribly debilitating; I've had worse colds.

But yes, it was very annoying.
It’s just my energy level. I get winded a lot and have this dry cough. I’m ready to be OVER it!

I know. Hang in there, Mich. It does get better eventually. :)
I hope so. I keep coming up with Covid fatigue while researching it. This definitely was not the way I imagined the holidays. Oh well. I’ll just keep popping vitamins and try to accomplish things a little at a time.

Yes. I had it in June. Sorry you're going through it. I was furloughed from work for only 5 days. I came back still sick because hospitals don't care how sick their nurses are. We masked at work. It didn't matter that I was way more sick than many of my own patients at the time. It took me around two weeks to really feel like myself again. I lost my sense of smell for a while though- luckily back now.

Never had it yet. I had a non-Covid respiratory infection that took a long time to recover from/ Coughed for weels.

If so, how long did it take you to recover. I feel pretty much over it but I’m still having a hard time getting my energy back. It’s irritating!
I had it in January 2020, when this whole Covid thing was very new.
It took me 3 weeks to get rid of the symptoms completely. But the fatigue afterwards lasted for several months.
Initially, the fatigue was pretty severe. I got fatigued doing the slightest activity.
With time it lessened ... and here I am today, just posting away ... and doing housework on the side! lol

Each case appears to be different, so I hope what I've said isn't discouraging.

And you've been under a doctor's care, are taking a specific treatment, etc. Your situation is much different than mine.
Hopefully, you'll get that 'pep' back in your step real soon!
:)

Yeah I went in and got anti-virals but have not discussed the fatigue yet. I probably should if it does not improve. Still having some issues with taste and smell.

Might be worth it to check with the doc regarding the fatigue. Perhaps there is something they know to do about it now (?).
I really was concerned, when the fatigue lasted for so long. I was afraid I might not ever get my strength back.
But I did.
(Praise the Lord!
:) )

wow Michie, talking about coincidence. I caught Covid Friday a week back. I still have some lingering effects . My main symptom was coughing fits. I was coughing and gagging so bad I threw up a few times. I am feeling better now.

My wife and I both had it in late March. We were lucky I suppose as it wasn't much more than mild flu symptoms for a couple of days. We didn't get much of a reaction to the injections either. By the time we got it I think we'd have three vaccinations and we've had another one since if my memory serves me correctly. We still got it, but if we hadn't been vaccinated I think it could have been far worse.

It seems to have a wide variety of reactions. Some people are sick for a week just from the vaccinations (some of them fairly young), and others like us just felt a bit lethargic for a day or so. We didn't even have a reaction to the third and fourth vaccinations other than a sore arm for a couple of days.

"Long Covid" appears to be very debilitating, sometimes leading to something like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

About all you can do is hang in there, and gradually build up your strength and resistance. I suppose living in a cold climate doesn't help, whereas we're in a sub-tropical climate here.

PS - You're probably sick of reading about it, but there's an article here from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
