Great for you!!!! You are on track 😉
When my Dr asks me 'have your symptoms improved?" my answer is no, but my management has. While profoundly different than running half marathons and working 12 hour shifts as an ER nurse in my before covid life, managing symptoms that persist after 4 years is the best I can do to have my best life moving forward. When I get depressed about this new life I remind myself that the world is full of people who live with dramatic health changes and I can too.
Thanks for your thoughts
Rina

Rina, I am a newbie to accepting the fact that I indeed have Long Covid. I am in the process of accepting my limitations for the last two years .(..because there is apparently nothing I can do about it). I do understand so many tragedies and illnesses change people's lives and with a good attitude and life management skills, life can still be abundant. But my question for you.....do you think we will ever get better? Will I ever go mountain climbing and snow skiing again. I am 54 years old and very into hiking, vacationing with grandchildren, etc. Are you encouraged at all that some people with long covid will improve. This is new to me and I am going to explore more doctors advice....search for anything that doctors approve or suggest. But am I just using my wasting my energy for now and need to "pace" myself. I am struggling with acceptance obviously. Thank you, Jen
