Hi @pdd, I'm glad to hear that your mobility and strength continue to improve. Fevers as you like know are a symptom of both lymphocytopenia (low lymphocytes) and viral infection. It sounds like your body is working on recovery. How are you doing now?

@sonyamagee1964, sleep is so important to recovery and good health. Dr. Van offer some tips in this blog post https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/post-covid-recovery/newsfeed-post/the-low-hanging-fruit/
You might find other tips in the Sleep Health group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/sleep-health/
Besides Xanx, have you found some things that help you get better sleep?

@edbigd, are you still experiencing nightly fevers?

I am still having some low grade fevers mostly in the evening. My nurse brain kicked in and I also thought about atelectasis from the Covid pneumonia and relatively low activity levels. My HR is high driving up oxygen demand and my last Hgb was 9.4. Difficulty weaning off oxygen. I started using the Incentive spirometer again and am back up to a normal capacity. So, still improving albeit slowly.
