@ldropps Laura, I'm so sorry to hear this. It sounds like you're experiencing a very frustrating situation of 2 steps forward and 3 back. I wonder if @tiredmommy @sueinmn @mimi24 @welchllb @rinadbq might have some tips and encouragement for you.

Laura, I'm no expert in COVID, so take what I'm going to say with a grain of salt and do what is right for you. You mention that you've been slacking. Recovery is hard work that requires loads of patience and heaps of routine and consistency. As you start to feel better, it's tempting to let some of your diligence slide. And sooner than you think, symptoms return seemingly with a vengence. I know that is discouraging. But I think there may be a bright side.

1. What you were doing before was working. No matter how small or tedious the lifestyle changes may have been, they were helping. Yay!
2. You know what works and you can do it again. Yay!
3. You're well practised at caring for yourself. The road to getting back to where you were is likely shorter than the first time around. Fingers crossed.

Do I sound like a cheerleader? I'm shouting from the sidelines 🙂 Might any of those 3 pointers be true?
