4 years in here also. Thank God it hit me right after I retired and eligible for social security and Medicare. Thank God for tolerant husband. Thank God for a PCP who herself had severe Long Covid ! Hardest thing for me is simply self-acceptance. Two months of Physical Therapy early on helped tremendously. Like @rinadbq above I must limit myself to only one activity or appointment per day. I probably got more help from reading about treatment of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome than anything written about Long Covid. I can walk 4 blocks. Can drive for maximum of 30 minutes and no freeways. But I can cook most evenings, resting every 5-10 minutes. I can paint sitting down. I can text friends but can’t process audio input only so no phone calls. I can read a few paragraphs at a time. Oddly enough, when self-acceptance kicks in, life is good!

Thank you for reassuring me that I am not alone in this. It can be quite isolating. I look fine on the outside, but no one sees me when I am incapacitated and laying on the couch, I don't have energy to even sit vertical. The only thing I can do is just pray for the day to hurry up and end so I can go to bed and wake up feeling better the next morning.
