Is any one else getting teaser days?
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.

I often compare my LC brain-fog experience to the classic short story “Flowers for Algernon.” (Highly recommended)
Yes, I have had teased days. I thought I was over it had great energy and got a lot done over the next two days. Then, down again. Figured I just did too much because I was so happy I had energy again so I decided to take it more slowly the next time I felt better. That didn’t help. Feel good one day down the next few, just keeps cycling but never did have energy like the two days I had early on.
I call my good and bad days my "roller coaster". It apparently relates to the battle with the Covid spike proteins causing microclots. Below is an article from Medical News Today:
Whatever the case may be, in Long COVID there is continued exposed to spike protein, all hidden from view. And although the virus has been vanquished, parts of it remain, namely the spike protein (Craddock et al., 2022; Patterson et al., 2022; Kell et al., 2022). Spike protein exposure, as we are now learning, stimulates clot formation which, in turn, creates blockages within the microcirculation (i.e., capillaries) (Kell and Pretorius, 2022). And because of this, you get to remain ill—experiencing an array of symptoms that can easily be attributed to impaired oxygenation at the tissue and cell level
What foods can act as blood thinners?
Some foods and spices, such as cinnamon, cayenne pepper, garlic, ginger, and pineapple may contain substances that have anticoagulant properties.
