I hope this thread has been helpful to those of you that asked. Thank you for the support!

(Now I’m going to go back to hiding under a rock because selective use of social media is also a part of my energy budgeting strategy)

Thank you @guardian for raising awareness re: the ongoing impact of #longcovid and for sharing my personal story as an offer of hope to others / As requested by many, here is a more detailed thread on my long covid recovery process:

Finally, while I’m about “90-95%” better, maintaining a consistent state of wellness is an ongoing process, and minor relapses do happen if I push too hard. I practice caution with dosing exercise volume and intensity, and sustained exertion in the heat is still off limits.

@gezmedinger Great to see you back out there! Your videos on long covid were so helpful to me throughout my post-viral recovery process. It took me nearly 18 months, but I am finally “better enough” and back to doing the things I love. Glad to see you are starting to do the same!

@OnTapPhysio So sorry that you are going through this. Here if you need to vent/process/scream into the void.

@AAMCtoday accurately reports on the struggle of doctors who develop #LongCovid, including one of our Neuro-#COVID19 clinic patients.

@edwardmdpt Thanks! This recovery has been one hell of a struggle, but on the positive side, my dedication to self-care is now elite level. Hope the video was helpful to your student, thank you for sharing it. We’ll get through this awful time eventually!

After dealing with my own clinical course of #longcovid for most of this year, this hospital PT and competitive rower can confirm that #covid may seriously F you up even if you are young, healthy, and never “sick enough” to be hospitalized. 😷
