Was my tiredness a symptom of CoVid or a viral infection?

I had unexplained tiredness for around 1-4 weeks and now my energy levels are approaching normalcy again. I also smelled like ketosis for a week or two during the tired phase even though I was not eating a keto diet.

When I was infected I was very tired for multiple weeks. I have never been that tired for so long. As I had no other symptoms, in the beginning I didn't think it was Covid. So I did still go grocery shopping to get food into the house (obviously I did wear a mask as a precaution), once a week. One time, it took so much energy, I almost collapsed in the store (the shopping cart I could lean on was the only thing preventing me from hitting the floor).
My then girlfriend was the only one who supported me and helped me every day, even though I was sick (but unsure with what exactly) in a time the news could not stop talking about covid... That gave me the feeling she was 'the one' (and indeed she ended up becoming my wife).

No way to tell without a test - the covid symptoms are not unique enough.

Why did you not buy a Covid test to rule out that possibility?

I think he is talking about when it first started.

If you where reacting to my story; those selftests where not available in stores yet at the time, and I did not have the energy to go to an official test location (which I would only be able to reach by bike or public transport... Both would be not a good idea as I was just too tired all the time).

Covid is a viral infection.
