To janeaddams —
Thank you for reporting to us the improvement in your LC symptoms. It increases my optimism that mine will also improve!
I also appreciate your describing the attitude you’ve taken towards your LC symptoms:
- Acceptance without resignation.
- Gratitude for the capabilities you still have.
I’m now participating in a group focused on Buddhism-based contemporary Mindfulness. I’m also practicing the same Acceptance and Gratitude as you are. And I’m using my own LC-related Suffering to teach myself greater Compassion for the Suffering of others.
This forum for people with LC has made me keenly aware of how severe many people’s symptoms are, and how mild mine are in comparison.
May we all experience improved health in the days ahead!

Yes, well, try your best not to get too stressed out about it, and just work within your capabilities, since we know that we pay when we over-do it.
I think I can say that I did indeed get over "Long Covid", which manifested in really very much the same manner for me several decades ago as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It lifted away "magically" on its own after about two years.
Similar to LC, it started out after what seemed like an ordinary flu, which was pretty typical back then.
I'm trying to be patient with myself this time around (about a year after first succumbing to acute Covid), and think I'm gaining some ground by just using prescribed stimulants to counteract the fatigue, which, thankfully, is really my only symptom.
But I think being "Buddhisty" is a great approach!
