I'm 83 years old and caught Covid 19 in October 2020. I had what's referred to as a 'mild case' meaning I didn't wind up in the hospital. I had my first case of PEM (post exertional malaise) 6 weeks after my original infection. I take *A LOT* of supplements; something to support every system in my body. I was extremely active in my previous life and now I'm happy to be able to manage a short shower; do some light housekeeping (now and then); feed my kitty; manage my meals and get together with a friend occasionally over lunch. I could go on and on...but, you get the picture.
For sure, I am better. In addition to my nutritional/supplemental needs, I have been forced to change my life-style (no more multi-tasking, etc.) and I practice yoga nidra 1 or more times per day which definately helps my nervous system and gives me back some energy. I continue to believe I can get back to feeling normal. Time will tell.
I get a lot of help from some free YouTube Channels and highly recommend: Gez Medinger (he's one of us), Healing Gems (let's try to get her to 1000 'likes' so the ads will be turned off) (Gemma is also one of us), then, there's Raelan Agle who is recovering from CFS and lastly check out Bateman Horne Center.
My best to all,
Pam
