Has anyone gotten back to normal after one complication after another?

Wowsas, Jenna!! my first time in Mayo Connect and there you are. Exactly the support I needed at this moment.
I’ve copied your post to my clipboard so that I can share it with others. You told my story better than I could have. Thank you for sharing the little details like needing a driver to manage your energy level to attend an event. It happened to me just today and this time I decided to skip the event (sadly) and delve into Mayo Connect. Perfect decision!
You are my angel today, and I’ll be reading and re-reading everything you wrote. In fact, my husband just drove in the yard and I think I’ll go read your post to him. Good idea!
Box breathing. Yes!
Acupuncture. Yes!
Thank you for those recommendations.
I am 74, retired, and live in a strong, physical body, in spite of the devastation from the ugly virus. My primary goal now is to accept my current self, and not grieve the loss of who I was BC …. you get it: before COVID! You have helped me! Sending you love and healing energy♥️. Lucia

God bless you all. I read your stories and feel you are reading mine. Currently I’m having trouble breathing deeply. I’m having panic attacks. I’ve been depressed and am looking for answers. I have strictures in my esophagus and am scheduled for a second treatment to stretch my esophagus.
What are the breathing exercises? Can someone explain box breathing? Also, does acupuncture help?
Thank you all for your willingness to reach out and help others. I’m getting no real help with my regular doctors. I often feel I know more about post Covid than they do.
