Persistent fatigue (tiredness) and leg weakness after HSV-1 diagnosis

I had a high fever, severe sore throat, and multiple mouth sores about 2 months ago. After recovering from the acute illness, I developed severe, persistent fatigue that hasn’t really improved. I subsequently tested positive for HSV-1.

I’m now in the third month and still feel extremely tired, particularly in my legs and calf muscles. I’ve also been experiencing blurred vision and a feeling of very sleepy eyes.

Has anyone experienced similar prolonged fatigue or symptoms after an infection, particularly after an HSV-1 diagnosis? If so, how long did the fatigue last, and did it eventually improve?
