I'm very sorry to hear that and I hope your situation improves!I'm 31 and have been sick on and off since I got it in early July. Every time I start trying to resume activity I get sick again.
In most cases Covid clears up after a week, sometime talking up to 12 weeks on average and very small percentage it can last longer.
I looks like the 12 weeks is nearly there and hopefully it will go away!
Being sick, is part of life, whether it is a new sickness or an old one, I have health issues that I wish I didn't have and they will stay with me until the day I die.
I wish it wasn't so but it is and I live with it everyday but it is best if I don't keep going on about it, or people will start banging their head into the wall!
Instead I try to live the best way I can, each and everyday!
I have a friend who broke his back and endures terrible pain every day and rarely gets more than a few hours of sleep a night!
That is someone, who I pray will get some help one day, to live day to day, like that must be a living hell!
When settlers went to south america, many native people died from the common cold, while the the invaders just had a runny nose!!
In the middle ages in Britain people generally didn't live past 30 due to unsanitary conditions, dysentery, malaria, diphtheria, flu, typhoid, smallpox and leprosy, not to mention all the sexually transmitted diseases and the Black Death.
In modern times we have it so much better in this regard!
In the West & in this the modern age, even if we get sick, we are no longer dying as we would have in the past!
Sure some people die but not at the epic levels of the past.
People who have AIDs, now no longer die because we have treatments to keep them alive, where as a few decade past, it was a guaranteed death sentence!.
We should be thankful for modern day medicine.
I am staying positive that advances will be made and that even long Covid, will be a thing of the past, it just takes a little time!
Do you think that all the house renovations and rockeries etc you were doing, may have played a role in you tiredness?
You did seem to be doing an awful lot of hard graft, for someone under the weather?
Do you think it is possible you could of burned yourself out?
In the 1918 Pandemic (H1N1 virus) 500 million people died and there was no vaccine, where is that virus today?
The human bodies of those who did not die, made antibodies!
Viruses often get weaker and weaker because if you kill all the hosts the virus dies too!
The real areas of concern are......
Cost of Living Crisis, Energy Crisis, Environmental Crisis & Global Warming Crisis.
The worst is yet to come and we will see it in our life time too!
We are literally standing on the edge of oblivion.
We should give thanks for everyday we can afford to buy food, drink clean water, be able to turn on a light and to be able to keep cool/warm when we need to, through the increasingly more violent and more frequent storms that will rage across the planet, as the ice caps melts and the forests burn!
