Any tips to help recovery for a COVID Long-Hauler?

I tested positive for Covid on Wednesday, Dec 7, and finally negative on Monday, the 19th. I feel better of course, but still suffer from on and off fatigue as I try to gradually transition into my normal activities. I assume this is a normal part pf recovery for some people. Is there any average amount of time that it may take before I feel more "normal." How long is the recovery before they call it long Covid?

@prancer20, I'll let other members respond with their experiences with fatigue. It can take a while.

It can take up to three weeks to recover from a COVID-19 infection. Mayo Clinic defines post COVID-19 syndrome as symptoms that continue four or more weeks after the start of a COVID-19 infection, identified by either symptom onset or a positive COVD-19 test. Others define long COVID anywhere between 4-12 weeks after infection.

I think you'll find some tips and answers in these related expert blogs:
