Just discovered this; surprised there aren't more of us here. Tested + for Covid in March; typical LC symptoms since May. I've always been a busy gal, but over the past months have learned that PACING works best for me for the bone crushing fatigue that follows activity; I try to NOT push through, learn from the new limits, take breaks, etc. For me the neurological stuff has been brain fog, inability to do simple math equations, forgetfulness, inability to multitask, word retrieval... "tip of the tongue" (may find it later?)... but also ... just nowhere to be found, that name, that word. I've been a meditator for many years, now I find that pacing works best for my mental fatigue as well... I take a deep breath, relax and just breathe (deeply, diaphragmatically) for 10 minutes... and try to give my brain a rest. There's so much worry and research and work involved in caring for ourselves (and my doctors are not very helpful in this) ... I think well-meaning folks (medical and otherwise) who don't have this condition think we just need to try harder, exercise a little more (our bodies, our brains), have some more testing done (!) and all will be well. IMHO, most of them really don't know much about what helps, what works... and research hasn't connected with the clinical world yet, at least not mine. I'm grateful I found this forum...I'm learning a lot from others who have actually been there. I have found validation and support here...as well as good information and encouragement. Good luck to us all ...
