Yes, I see a pattern emerging. I have been “off” since late November. I am a in a dense fog when I get up. It lasts for the full morning. I usually have about a 2 hour opening of thinking clearly, although I still have problems with planning, follow-through, sense of the passage of time. After my 2 hour opening, I am mentally done for the day. I feel exhausted.
As for fatigue, I am tired all day. I have no energy to carry out daily routines. When I tried walking as a way to increase stamina, I found that when my heart rate goes up, I get light-headed.
I have joint /muscle pain intermittently. It will keep me awake all night, then totally disappear. Same for getting into a standing position and walking with a straight back. Sometimes this problem lasts for a few days, then not at all.
I do see some progress in recent weeks. I had shortness of breath on minor exertion (making my bed). That is no longer an issue. I used to be out flat all day and all night. I am doing better spending time doing things around the house, although I need to lie down and rest frequently.
Thanks for asking the question. It has helped me realize that I am headed in the right direction. I hope you have the same experience.

You know I guess that's the true meaning of long hauler we are hauling these burdens around for what seems to be more than a lifetime you know I took a stand this week and spoke out amongst many social media platforms about us being overlooked about how we need help how we need everyone to bring awareness to the seriousness of long covid how we need assistance so we can focus on healing and finding a solution to our ailment and I really don't know if it's helped or not but from what I've seen since then is a lot of information that I didn't know existed there is a website you can go to called long covid.org and it has a lot of information on there but again still nothing for the middle aged childless adult nothing besides food stamps and a bunch of scams my heart goes out to you I really hope today is a good day for you hearts and prayers
