I am 10 weeks post Covid. I have had a few better days last week and today. I have increased gentle exercise and am able to do all my household chores. I am cautiously hopeful and taking it one day at a time. Learning to accept my new lifestyle has helped a lot, while still having hope that I will be able to become more active eventually. I am waiting to hear back from my cardiologist re the heart monitor that I wore.

After a better week last week and a busy day yesterday, I was very tired last night. I felt sort of out of sorts this morning after a good night's sleep, but better around noon. The fatigue seems to be on and off and seems to be worse after too much exertion. I have read today that over exertion will cause post Covid fatigue. So with this info, I will have to try to moderate exercise widely and not over exert myself.

Unfortunately, I am getting discouraged. I don't see much hope for recovery anytime soon.
Every time a start to feel better, I crash into that same old fatigue. The results of the heart monitor were negative for anything significant, according to my cardiologist. I still have occasional sensations of tachycardia. I attribute that to the effects of the virus on my body.
My life partner and friends are always positive and encouraging, but they have no idea how this feels.
My prayers to all my fellow sufferers. Maybe the scientists will come up with some answers. Journalists are finally starting to report that Long Covid is a major factor in the labor shortage. My representatives still have not answered my e mails re Long Covid. This problem I think will become more and more significant in future.
