I’m so relieved I found this chat room. I’m 55 and was diagnosed with mono last Nov 2019. I had a crazy busy month that month and tons of stress going on in my life. Lay around for a month and worked the odd day. Started to feel remotely normal and then unfortunately had to move house! That set me back. Exhausted and back to laying down. Then 3 weeks after moving I moved my daughter up to LA from OC and that put me even further back. Not all the same symptoms thankfully no panic attacks or the degree of a achy limbs but upset stomach and tingling in my legs and fatigue. It’s now April 11th and no way can I exercise. A walk to the car and a brief store trip is all I can do. Doing housework is enough. It really messes with your head!! Now we are in Covid 19! All the more reason to stay back inside and no way can I get checked out by the doctor. I’m making turmeric and ginger shots to have first thing and trying to continue to eat fresh foods etc!
I’m scared to think that there’s no end to this thing!!!

Hi @suewilliams64, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You're not alone in being fearful that COVID-19 will have no end. I'm remain confident that it will, but getting back to normal will not be the normal we once knew. I believe some things will be changed and some of the changes have the potential to be positive changes. But the immediate repercussions are challenging to say the least.

If you're interested, there is a group dedicated to connecting members during COVID-19, to help answer questions and share coping strategies, as well as some delightful diversions when it all get to be too much. Check it out here:

- COVID-19 Support Group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/covid-19/

Are you able to be kind to yourself when you're fatigued and do only as much as you can do? What are your strategies?
