Hello Natalie, We haven't heard from you in a few days so I thought I would check in. Have you checked to see if there is a post-Covid recovery program near you? That would be the very best option to get your symptoms assessed and figure out the best recovery program for you. Even if there was none near you a few months ago, more are being added as the medical community realizes how pervasive post-Covid symptoms are.
Please let me know how you are doing, it is so discouraging to feel debilitating fatigue day after day.

Since I am a post-Mono patient as opposed to post-Covid, I don't know for sure if I would be allowed to enter a recovery program. I also live in a rural area, so I would have to travel. My doctor has told me that I need an expert in infectious disease, but he will not refer me to the Cleveland Clinic, even though I have practically begged him. I just had blood work done, and I see this doctor again next month. If he still has nothing to offer me and refuses the referral, I will certainly be looking for a new doctor. I can't understand why a doctor who can't help me would refuse to refer me to someone who might be able to help. In the meantime, I'm working with a neurologist for my headaches, and also trying different strategies to improve my quality of sleep. So the struggle of trying to get well continues. I would like to get well so I can go back to work. I had to give up my teaching job, but if I could get well, I could still be a substitute. Thank you so much for reaching out and for caring!
