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!

In reply to @friedrich Thanks for your kind wishes... the group you're in sounds wonderful. I especially like your observation about using your own suffering to learn compassion for others. Not sure if I've posted about a book that has been extremely helpful for me with LC: "How To Be Sick," by Toni Bernhard. She's an amazing role model and a Buddhist... and she teaches her readers how to live our best lives with LC (or any chronic illness). I'm trying to learn to live this altered life of mine with compassion and gratitude, and this Forum is one of the things I'm most grateful for. Namaste...

Had my first bout of Covid in January 2021 and long Covid started after that. Of course, I was stupid enough to take two jabs and my belief is they worsened the ability of my immune system to fight off infections. Just went through my fifth or sixth round of Covid (started on July 3) but in Canada they do not test any longer. Lost sense of smell, taste, extreme fatigue etc. In short, this has been an ongoing battle for the last four years and it is hard to remain positive. I moan and b_tch and whine and complain and get down and get into that "why me" mode. But I really try to take the stance that "why not me". Who am I that I should be special and not have to bear a burden. Through it all I know God has my back and however this ends He is with me. I pray and ask for courage and patience and also pray for others and try to not focus on my own issues so much. Tough because we are self-centred beings but no matter how it ends, and it will end, I know where I am headed. Let not your heart be troubled.
