I had Glandular fever (Epstein-Barr virus) when I was in my early 20's.It took 3 months before I was well enough to return to work but never had the same stamina afterwards and 40 years on I still don't!

Me too @madpenguin tho it took nearly 6 months off work and almost that long to get a diagnosis and when I did go back to the office I slept for an hour every lunchtime for almost a year afterwards. In my 30s I took up horse-riding and skiing and sailing and started weight training to get fit for those and that helped a lot. Weighed more but took up less space and a side effect was fewer colds. Don't know how that works.
I've had it again since tho not as badly. It sometimes shows up in blood tests for MOTs - sugar levels, cholesterol etc - but these days I'm more wiped out by arthritic bits.
There is an end in sight for many who will be suffering after effects but it can be a long hard road and, in my experience, GPS and their consultant colleagues can be very dismissive of post viral complications so it's good that the NHS has recognised it's a problem with Covid-19.

All the very best for your recovery Hogweed. In my 40s, fit,healthy,never smoked had seasonal flu, then pheumonia, knocked me out for 3 months. I would walk about 7 minutes to collect my youngest from school, same home, then collapse on the sofa.
