The emotional divide between pre and post-covid is a giant crevasse to hurdle over. Some days I fall, others I can move forward with the help of this site, counseling & connections made through a zoom covid support group. I am still adjusting to my new normal after 20 months. As an ER nurse I worked with countless people who didn't survive-especially in 2020. Sometimes simple gratitude that I can wake up, brush my teeth, get dressed, drink coffee and look out the window puts my thoughts in a better direction.

Now more than 4 1/2 years. The symptoms have not improved, but my knowledge of triggers and management has. BUT life moves forward out of synch with my abilities and I still have difficulty, especially with stamina & 'crashes' which put me confined to bed or couch, dark room, excruciating muscle pain in arms & legs, freezing cold, migraine & nausea and activated prior autoimmune issues. Where have all the yard signs and ribboned trees of support for medical staff? Those who have saved lives at the cost of their own in the biggest world wide loss of life event in more than a century are forgotten.
