Thank you for your advice! I appreciate it very much. I will look into options for Long Covid specialists nearby. I definitely feel pretty lost in my life and in my head about how to approach coping with this, and my doctor has an “eat well, stay hydrated, pace yourself and good luck!” approach. Her advice has some merit for sure, but I am unraveling a bit, and I just want more guidance, if it is out there.

Cheers!

Athena

@athenaatkins I feel sorry for you, I sincerely appreciate that you are facing a difficult time and I must say I empathized and also saw myself through your comment. It's very stressful figuring things out and not having someone who really knows what to do to be a FUNCTIONAL PERSON. It's overwhelming and can also trigger anxiety and depression, so I want to express my feelings and share them with you so that you feel at least a little better: obviously we're not happy to know that there are many others suffering like us, but at least to Me loneliness and despair are the most common symptoms that we - long haulers - share. Everyone has their own unique pattern, but no matter what you're facing as your worst difficulty - for me it's terrible joint pain and fatigue - we all seem to share this feeling of detachment or that we are no longer able to adapt. I hope we all get through this together as soon as possible. I'm rooting for your recovery
