12/19 I got Covid for my 2nd time. First time in 2022 was a breeze. This time around, did Paxlovid, wasn't all that bad, tested negative after 12 days. Didn't feel all that bad during acute phase and the 21-28 days or so after. At some point in the third week after testing positive, I felt pretty weird one night but not like for sure sick.
Ever since, I seem to almost get worse as every day goes by. The last two days, I've had fatigue so bad I've thought about going to the ER. My primary care doctor and a friend who is also a doctor say that I'm more or less fine and it's ok if I walk my dogs around the block. Both even said I could walk them like normal which is several miles a day.
Long story short, I'm on day 38 and I don't know if I have long covid (technically not long covid until 90 days) or something else or this is just the initial infection and I may get over it in the days and weeks to come (please god.)
Just wondering if anyone has dealt with anything like this, family members, friends, etc. I'm trying not to read all the horror stories on the internet because there are stories of Olympic athletes being bed ridden for years and stuff.
Also, I apologize, I've been MIA a bit here and this is why. I often don't have the strength to really read page after page of discussion. It's insane.
Thanks and hope you all are well.
