I will pass along something that I have been trying for a month now and it seems to help with the crushing fatigue. Royal Jelly that is made by honey bees to produce queen bees that outlive all other bees in the hive. This natural phenomenon is an amazing story in itself and I encourage folks to read about the process.

I use the royal jelly that has been mixed with honey. The dosage I take is reduced in volume and frequency because I have had issues with reactions since having Covid. I have had to give up most of my supplements, give up or change some of my Rx’s and stay away from some foods, but this is a topic for a separate discussion.

I had Covid for the first time in December of 2021 and then again in August of 2022. Like most on this forum, quality of life has gone downhill. I am female and in my early 60’s and already have a rare Primary Immune Deficiency that took 25 years to get diagnosed. I have been on immunoglobulin infusions since 2012 that I do at home sub Q weekly. I had to leave my job on disability retirement.

As someone who has been living with a chronic illness for many years, I want to encourage you to take one day at a time. If you are able, do one thing each day that allows you a small victory. It can be as simple as making the bed or unloading the dishwasher or putting away clothes that have sat in the laundry basket for a week. One little victory a day adds up and is good for the soul. If you can’t do anything today, that’s okay. Maybe tomorrow you can . Chronic illness, whether temporary or life long, steals from our physical health. It wants to steal our mental health as well. One little bitty thing a day that we accomplish can make a difference. Hold on and don’t give up. Focus only on today and find that one thing that you can do. Even if it’s just putting the toilet paper roll on the holder. You can do it. You are a conqueror.
