Any tips to help recovery for a COVID Long-Hauler?

Hi @cilla21, I'd like to add my welcome. It's such a mystery why some people experience long-term side effects and others don't. The comparison of your husband's experience with COVID and yours is a perfect example of that. I encourage you to follow this blog with Mayo Clinic experts who are researching and following post-COVID recovery.

I'd also like to invite fellow long-haulers to join this discussion like @abelmarcelo @stoneydintheloo @barbaracasey @kimesita and @lsmorgan
The medical understanding of post-COVID recovery is learning more and more every day, but so much is as yet unknown. Are you being seen at a large medical center with experts in infectious diseases and COVID?

Hi @colleenyoung, thanks for your reply. I am being treated by top-notch physicians. This experience has been absolutely fascinating, frustrating yet intriguing. I'll be following the blog you suggested for sure. Thanks, again.

I'm seeing a hematologist on the 18th who will hopefully shed some light on my elevated eosinophils and low segs. So far I've had to see a different dr for each symptom. Even a podiatrist for my foot pain as I can only stand for about 2 hours before it gets unbearable. He suggested a neurologist which seems to make more sense. My job is comparable to a daily hardcore workout which leads to post exertional malaise.I contracted covid 11/7 and from what I've read from various long covid Facebook groups it could take a year or more before I'm able to work at the level I could precovid. I'm thankful my employer offers both short and long term disability to hopefully provide enough time to heal. I love my job but it's simply too intense to do safely with the amount of symptoms I'm still experiencing.
