First diagnosed on 12/19, went on Paxlovid within 12 hours after first symptoms. Most of my symptoms disappeared within a day or two, but they were never particularly severe… but the fatigue and the heart racing at the least exertion have largely continued. I have taken a lot of involuntary multi-hour naps. I am out of PTO and got approved for short-term disability until tomorrow, and we shall see if I need more than that. I tested negative the evening of day 5, but then positive a few days later, and am still positive as of last night.
Today I was feeling a bit more energetic and ventured out of the bedroom where I have been isolating to throw in a load of laundry, collect some clothing for donation, and scrub the stove. But apparently that effort wore me out enough that I needed another short, involuntary nap. I guess we’ll see if I can manage some remote work tomorrow, but I wish that, well, anyone could tell me whether continuing to be 100% sedentary is actually going to speed up my recovery.
