I think I may have "long Covid." [View all]

I cannot seem to rouse myself out of bed for longer than a few minutes. I am intensely exhausted and haven't been able to determine any cause. I just stay down, in bed. Have been like this for a few days. I get up briefly to try and heat up some food. My head can't seem to hold any thinking for very long.

This is very frustrating. I haven't heard back from my doctor. I don't seem to get any better no matter how long I stay down.

Has anyone here experienced this phenomenon? My daughter mentioned the possibility of Long Covid when I talked with her about my situation. She is helping me order groceries to be delivered (from Stop and Shop here in New Haven). I get up briefly when the food is delivered to put it away but can't wait to head back to bed. I eat only small amounts, just to keep myself going (no real appetite).

This is so bizarre. I am wondering how long is "long Covid"?

I am otherwise pretty healthy with no other symptoms, which is why this is so puzzling....
