How are the super long-haulers doing 3 to 4 years out?

Hey There! I am going into my 3rd year with Long Covid. I had COVID again last October. My fatigue has worsened since having it again, I still have brain fog (but not as severe). I have more joint pain, fibromyalgia has worsened and more upper respiratory infections and asthma.
The first round of COVID, my heart rate stayed at 136 doing nothing. It took 3 months to come back down and the shortness of breath took about 3 months as well. I had double pneumonia the first time with COVID.
I went to an Integrative Medicine Doctor who was wonderful, but, I could not tolerate the infusions or the Glutathione to treat Long COVID. I am on a lot of vitamins for long COVID.
To be honest, I feel like I have aged a lot since the last round of COVID, BUT, I am grateful to God for the things I can do. I have had to learn (I'm a type A) I cannot put too much on my plate or I crash.
Praying for you and I am glad you are doing better and pray you continue to do better.

I'm 83 years old and caught Covid 19 in October 2020. I had what's referred to as a 'mild case' meaning I didn't wind up in the hospital. I had my first case of PEM (post exertional malaise) 6 weeks after my original infection. I take *A LOT* of supplements; something to support every system in my body. I was extremely active in my previous life and now I'm happy to be able to manage a short shower; do some light housekeeping (now and then); feed my kitty; manage my meals and get together with a friend occasionally over lunch. I could go on and on...but, you get the picture.
For sure, I am better. In addition to my nutritional/supplemental needs, I have been forced to change my life-style (no more multi-tasking, etc.) and I practice yoga nidra 1 or more times per day which definately helps my nervous system and gives me back some energy. I continue to believe I can get back to feeling normal. Time will tell.
I get a lot of help from some free YouTube Channels and highly recommend: Gez Medinger (he's one of us), Healing Gems (let's try to get her to 1000 'likes' so the ads will be turned off) (Gemma is also one of us), then, there's Raelan Agle who is recovering from CFS and lastly check out Bateman Horne Center.
My best to all,
Pam

Thanks for sharing! I am sorry you got COVID a second time and had worsened fatigue. And having such an elevated heart rate and double pneumonia does not sound fun! Thanks so much for your good wishes. Sending some prayers and good vibes back your way. May you continue on the path to full healing.
