I’m so sorry to hear you’re suffering so much and after all this time. I’m a grandma too and although inam able to babysit, it thoroughly exhausts me. I have not experienced the serious lung issues that you have, but developed lung nodules that are scanned regularly and I’m constantly getting sore throats and upper respiratory infections. ( I have one now) I have had three bouts of Covid, first in 3/22, second in 2/14 and third in 2/27. My major symptoms are fatigue, horrible fullness and relentless rumblings in my head, body pains and cramping in feet, horrible insomnia, lack of concentration for many things, memory impairment, low(bowel)motility,
general dysautonomia. I am cold most of the time and coldest when it’s hot outside. I’ve been on low dose naltrexone for over a year and it did give me some relief from headaches mostly. I have come to terms with the fact that I will have these maladies chronically for the rest of my life. I too am a writer/poet and all my energy goes into my writing. I’m very thankful that I’m able to focus on that. With all of this, I am grateful because I know others like yourself, are suffering so much more. I wish you the very best.

Dear bmd,
I wish you the best,too! I don't feel quite as alone and that is meaningful to me! I think you are right...those of us that are older may be stuck with this for the remainder of our lives. Isn't it ironic, though,that we spend so much time feeling exhausted but find it impossible to sleep?
Sending hugs,
