Not Alone

Take one day at a time and don’t give up! That’s what I try to tell myself daily. Sometimes I feel my quality of life is so diminished, that is hard to do. The worst part of this for me is dealing with doctors that gaslight. They don’t know how to fix you, so they want to dismiss your symptoms because they can’t figure it out easily. My blood pressure goes up on the days I have bad muscle aches and the doctors are perplexed as to why my blood pressure is up. . There are days I feel defeated but then I make myself get back up again. I’ve not felt well since I first got Covid in March 2020 but have figured out some ways to have better days. Keep trying your best and know you are not alone. Unfortunately, there are lots of us with long covid.

Thank you for your kind words, and I’m so sorry you’re going through this as well for so long. It’s so frustrating going to doctors with no resolve. My Cardiologist tells me flat out they don’t know why I have the symptoms I’m experiencing. A few guesses but nothing concrete. It really is sooo hard getting through the bad days which unfortunately for me out weigh the good. I can’t go out for my walks or even enjoy a day out with my family anymore because of the lightheadedness, feeling unbalanced and the heart palpitations. I always feel like I’m either going to fall or pass out.
I have some really dark days and thoughts at times, it’s the hardest struggle of my life.
I hope and wish you a complete healing. Sending light and positive thoughts for you.
