Got Covid Thanksgiving of 2021. Slept 16-20 hours a day, ate minimally. The summer humidity caused severe shortness of breath. I go to PT 3x/ wk. since the end of September. The first couple months, I got stronger but it didn’t translate to my daily activities. I was still exhausted all the time. December has been a turning point. Getting a lot better. Still have to build up my stamina but finally feeling like myself again. My physical therapist helped me so much, so much more than my 6 different doctors (internist, pulmonary, cardiology, neurology, GI & rheumatologist. Find a good patient physical therapist. He saved my life.
I bring sneakers & walk 30 minutes every day over my lunch hour. Some days I can do a nice walk no problem, other days it is a struggle. I have so many long haul symptoms including nausea, dizziness, exhaustion & neuropathy. The symptoms come & go. The headaches & brain fog have gotten much better, but I feel flu like often. It is a very strange virus.
Thanks for the reply.
