Thank you so much for sharing!!! I also got a letter from my primary doctor and getting an updated letter every 3-6 months. Sometime my pulmonologists writes it too. It has been two years now after 5 months of hospitalisation due to Covid. I also accepted my situation and limitations but I am fighting and doing what I can to move me revocery forward. I am improving but very very slowly. Doing physical therapy helps a lot too.. walking daily and focusing on myself to stay calm and peaceful at all cost. I’m taking only one anxiety pill daily 10mg and feeling it really helps a lot… Learning how to pace myself and stopping when I notice the first moment of increased anxiety or stress was a challenge but I’m learning. My body used to punish me for overdoing it and it would put me to bed for 5 days at a time when I wasn’t able to even think straight due to extreme exhaustion but now as I’m learning to stop immediately as soon as I notice a slight discomfort I am able to manage not to overdo .. Now the extreme exhaustion lasts only one day .. I believe the brain has the amazing capability to rewire itself and I am determined to continue all therapy I am able to handle to help the brain learn new detours.. Good luck and God bless you!! 🙏
