It is one day at a time. My thoughts are with all who posted. I am 71 and have had Post-Covid for almost a year now (and a second bout of Covid in early March). I have found some relief from the most horrific symptoms -- blurred vision, inability to sleep, inability to maintain body temperature, rapid heart beats, orthostatic issues, post exercise exhaustion, and brain fog that prevents me from reading and writing (which was my career!) -- with skills I gained in the Mayo Post-Covid program. I do daily full body stretching, diaphragmatic breathing, meditation, pacing of activities, wearing compression socks, and slowly adding more sitting-based exercises to improve muscle strength. It's still frustrating to have symptoms return when I add on one too many small things like trying to read more than a few pages of a book -- but there have also been days when I feel as good as before! Unpredictability is the worse!

You are so right about the unpredictability of this dreadful disease. Some days I feel like I’m turning the corner to a return to normal and it’ll turn right around and kick me in the butt. I am feeling better than the earlier days but still chronically short of breath. I’m starting to resign myself to this being my new normal. Thank you so much for all of your suggestions for keeping your body in balance. It’s much appreciated. Best wishes for your continued improvement.
