    I was literally going to look into getting my vaccine this week… Then I got Covid. So sitting at home feeling miserable. Only positive thing is while its been awful, it hasn’t been as awful as the other time I got it and almost ended up hospitalized.

        Thank you. I’ve slept for almost like 48 hours in the past 3 days and actually woke up feeling good today.

        How has long Covid affected you?

          Glad you’re feeling better today. Hopefully it stays that way.

          Post-exertional malaise is the worst.

          If I push myself in any way, I get a flare up of symptoms so I don’t feel I’ll ever get better. Back ache and fatigue (physical or mental)are a constant. Live by hot water bottles or heated pads.

          Had it worse in first year with brain fog, chest pain etc. Can walk now fine but anything more and I’ll get a reaction. Need to constantly watch myself and rest frequently.

          In summary, it sucks, but I’m used to it now.
