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?

Hi Colleen; I appreciate your response very much, especially when the last conversations were a year ago almost! Yes I am laying around at home, getting groceries delivered and only venturing out in the car for a 30 min drive once a week! Meanwhile I have tingling in my legs and some brief hot flashes ( could be menopause) I don’t notice the leg thing until I’m laying or sitting down. I’m noticing that if I allow myself to stress out ( Covid, money, work) then that tingling and fatigue hits immediately! Mental state I realize now is huge in mono recovery. I just wonder if these symptoms are normal 4.5 months in?
