I wish there was a term different from 'fatigue' to descibe this- this is NOT staying up too late watching Netflix fatigue! It is overwhelming, incapacitating, leaden exhaustion. People who were part of my before-covid life don't understand, much less simply accept, I have 4-6 hours in my day now, not the 12-14 I had living in BC, Before Covid, partly because I look & sound exactly like I did living in that old life.

Oh @rinadbq your medical professional description is so validating and if I may further share the toll of covid looking “fine” on children. My 7 yr old granddaughter got covid about 4 yrs ago and her daily challenges and never ending illnesses that so many of us describe here☹️ The traditional school exposure to other kids colds, flu etc does not explain this other level of what she shares with me without prompting. It is hard enough to deal with this as an adult with lifelong coping skills, my heart breaks for all the children who were/are not acknowledged/understood having covid and hope we all can be here for them to overcome this and be amazing joyful individuals🌈 Sorry a harder last few days 🙃
It's hardest when it's your closest family.
Hugs to you and all here.

My friends are starting to understand I have days when I stay up until 2 pm and some days I am back in bed at 1130 am. If I don't lay down and rest, I have no energy left to make dinner and go to bed early. But it does mean a lot of missed plans.
