My Recovery Strategy: Things are getting better

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.

Prancer20, I know how you feel. Before anyone asks, I am fully vaccinated and have all the boosters for Covid. I had my first bout of Covid in January 2022. I had a cardiac work up a few months later because I was having tachycardia with minimal exertion. The tests showed some mild valve leakage and a few PVCs. The cardiologist said it was not significant. He did not want to prescribe medication because my resting heart rate is low. Fast forward to Christmas Eve 2023. I had Covid again. Fortunately this time the doctor prescribed Paxlovid and I felt better in about 48 hours. I am still having problems with tiring easily and heart rate elevating with mild housework. It seems to be getting a little better, but it is very frustrating.
