Early Care Tips for COVID Longhaulers Aug 30 9:37am | By Greg Vanichkachorn (@drvan)Comment receiving replies
I wish I'd read this before I started getting back into exercise. I felt good for a few weeks and than relapsed. The weird thing is I feel great when I'm exercising, but 6 hours later crash and find it difficult to breathe and have really sore arms and shoulders. It takes me a couple of days to get any energy back. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, my recovery parallels yours. I have been 8 months into the journey and only just now normalizing after cutting back on my exercise and allowing my body to rest. My doctors have been very honest….. they don’t know enough about COVID to effectively treat it and have recommended the shots as they were their only weapons. Should I have taken them…who knows….but I am still here….good food, no sugar or alcohol (easier said then done) moderate exercise(don’t push too hard and overload) I think I am finally making some gains😊. Good luck

I also had a relapse of my long covid. I hadn't increased my daily activity level, but was not giving my body a chance to rest as I had walked and did my resistance exercises 3 days in a row. It's been 3 weeks and I still haven't returned to where I was before the relapse. I guess I just have to go more slowly and, according to the above article, am probably not hydrating enough. Frustrating.
