Is any one else getting teaser days?

Posted by jimmiep @jimmiep, Jul 26, 2023

I've had this Covid Crud for the past 7 months now. Most day's are brain fog, no energy, fevers, constipation, All the same crap we all suffer with.
Once in a while I will wake up and for no reason feel fantastic like" It's finally gone" then BOOM. Back to crap. I've had it happen 4 different times. The first time lasted 3 day's, then it was gone. The next time was 6 straight day's of it's gone, then it's back, Then one day once and two day's once. I call these day's teasers. Satin is picking on me with candy.
JUst would like to know if this happens to any one else. OH, before I go back to bad, that evening I become extremely irritable, so I know it's coming back.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

Yes, I get that also. I always say that I never know what body I am going to wake up with. And then sometimes, I have "teaser" hours. The waves of symptoms/symptom free can be very demoralizing. They provide a window of what life could be again, and then slammed shut.

I have to treat the teasers like a good chocolate malt. I can't wait to get on but when you've finished it life sucks again. BUT I do do look forward to the next one.

Oh yes nice to have a name for it! It is sooo nice when it happens . Since the end of January that’s my life! My brother passed away and it was an awful relapse so the brain has really been changed ! God willing I will improve.

Yes! My most recent and longest teaser was almost 2 weeks but I’ve now been in a major crash for over 3 weeks. I’ve been in ‘the Covid crud’ since 2020. Normally, it only lasts hours or maybe a day here and there. When it happens, I’m so afraid of when it’s going to end that I’m walking on eggshells the whole time.
It definitely does give us a taste of normal life but then vanishes to leave us helpless again. So devastating!
Amen to that… God willing we all improve SOON!

So sorry to hear of your brother’s passing. I can’t imagine your relapse after. Stress of any kind seems to trigger this let alone the death of family. Stay strong my friend.

The first time this happened to me I thought it was over, then wham. Next time I had hopes, but no dice. After that, I just enjoyed the reprieve. This last time it lasted for over a week. I was scared to hope, but still kind of did. I did too much, and have had the worst couple of weeks yet. Teaser days is the perfect way to describe it. It feels nice & cruel at the same time.

Me too. I’m having some really awful weeks right now.
It’s so bad. I live alone with my 2 dogs. No one gets it.

I too thought I was recovering as I had never had such a long reprieve but I’m now paying severely. I pray to God we come out of this soon.

It is really rough weeks for me as well, lindy1965.
I have found that since I can't drive anymore, I see my grandchild less. She is the one person that always lights up my life.
I have good days, but far more bad ones.
I was the fixer in most of my family for so long and now I need people to tell me if what I say even makes sense. I feel isolated and alone most days, but find some comfort to find that I am not alone.
Thank you to everyone who shares on here. You never know when you can make a difference by just being supportive and understanding.

I’m 58 and I don’t have grandchildren or children but I do understand in some way. I am barely driving 5 minutes on a good day to see my Dad who has Alzheimer’s. I feel that he depends on me to light up his life and when I’m like this I can’t do that for him.
I’m currently trying to hire someone to fill my shoes when I’m unable to get to him.
This is very isolating. I am thankful as well to have found this.
Please reach out to me if you’re ever needing someone to hear you. I’ll do my best to respond.
