Mild COVID after effects

My symptoms may have been mild, so as not to notice at all. That was two years ago.
I still have long covid - aches, my perception of temperature seems weird, fatigue. It was far worse.
 
Yes, had mild covid early on (March 2020) then a range of symptoms for a long long time, almost back to normal now. At least until I got covid for a second time this week lol.

Hope you or whoever you’re asking for make a quicker recovery, I gather weeks is generally much more common than years.
 
I had it pretty mildly, a couple of days in the middle about as bad as mild flu, bad cold, but the afterburn took three months to tail off. Brain fog and feeling tired all the time, still susceptible after 3 months to nodding off listening to the stereo or watching a film.
 
Had the Damn thing 5 weeks ago, clear test after 2 weeks but bronchial issues and fatigue are still with me.
 
I had Delta in October 2021. I had headaches and dizziness for three months afterwards. Also had it in March 2020 but it wasn't quite as bad.
 
I've been lucky, whisper it quietly but I've avoided it. Had 2 or 3 colds in the last 2 years, so much for social distancing. Triple jab ofc. A mate in the nhs says some people just appear to be naturally immune. I may be, after 2 years in factories and hotels I must have encountered it.
 
A neighbours family recently infected with mild symptoms. Right at the end of the quarantine, 12yo daughter got hospitalised with fever and vomiting for two days
 
Omicron in June.
Fatigue.
Temporary loss of smell.
Deep Vein Thrombosis. On blood thinners...potentially permanently.
 
There's no link between severity and long covid. 5% of cases lead to long covid and the number of sufferers is well over 2 million now and will rise significantly after this wave. My wife is about 9 months in after a mild infection and she's still not seen the specialist yet. Very best of luck Anthony!
 
Had Covid early on. Mild to moderate (no need of hospitalisation, none of the classic symptoms at the time) but significant fatigue, brain fog, complete loss of smell and taste, and bodily aches and pains. The sense of smell and taste didn’t return for months, and only approached normal after close to a year.

But ever since that Covid infection I have tingling and pins and needles in my hands, while sleeping or inactive. Doctor/physio thinks it’s probably a trapped nerve in my neck and I have exercises to do. I have been less than diligent at doing them, but they haven’t made much difference. I’ve no idea if this is another long covid thing or not, but if it is, it wouldn’t surprise me.

My wife had COVID in March this year and she had a mild case. However, it's left her with more fatigue and brain fog than before, and she was diagnosed with long COVID last month.
 
Had Covid late June, presumably Omicron. Temperature 38 for a day or two, decreasing fatigue for a few days afterwards. Since then, occasional moments of weakness, feeling slightly faint. But there are 39-40 degrees, and I'm 70 years old and take daily medication (immune suppression after a liver transplant four years ago) so difficult to tell what is caused by long-Covid and what has other causes; the medication, old age, maybe bouts of somatised depression, the heat. Still, I can manage non-competitive sculling 3 or 4 times a week and other normal physical activities like walking about, shopping, DIY repairs, working in the darkroom, riding the motorbike, etc. But hard to say what's what.
 
I had it probably a bit more than 'mildly' but I didn't have to go to hospital. Fatigue is less now, but hasn't gone away. There's still joint pain and a tendency to little sprains in the wrists, elbow that never happened before. Overall just a general lack of zest compared to previously. It has taken almost a year to recover and right after it I lost a lot of strength and some muscle mass; struggled to cycle or move the bike about.

I've picked up since then, but don't expect to ever be like I was prior to contracting Covid.

Same here, I can't believe that being in and out of care homes etc. for the past two years that I wouldn't have picked it up by now. For all I know I've had it.
 
Symptoms started with streaming eyes, followed by cough/ runny. nose etc but still tested negative for 4 days.

5th day, tested positive.Fatigue and slight temp that both tailed off quickly. Cough remains but is just annoying really.
 
Following this with interest as I tested positive last Sunday and again on Wednesday.

All the best, Tony, and everyone else.

Or one of those colds was actually covid. The chances of getting two or three colds during the pandemic but not getting covid must be very slim indeed.
