Re-infected June'22 & Feb'23 ๐

Ive taken this book with me everytime, 2day my only complaints are my neck, ribs, swollen mottled hands & smelling of cigarettes when I've done too much. Although I'm living out of my 4 walls again, I have to consider pacing even more so. Here are my original #LongCovid symptoms
Q. So I've been speaking to a chiropractor. He has suggested that I come off all my current supplements (Vit B,C,D,E, niacin, quercetin, magnesium & omega3) & try activated charcoal & turmeric instead & my SAD lamp each morning plus morning sunlight. Any thoughts? #LongCovid
@benking01@LongSymptoms However, diet, sleep & rest didn't work in that first year, nothing did! I just had to be patient and try not to leave in fear due to the unexpected health issues. I cried, slept and googled new wants to beat #longcovid
Proud today. I have done exactly as the Nuffield rehab suggests. I've rested,had a bath,read,went for a brew in my friends garden (slight anxiety, husband came), yoga, meditated & a 1000 step walk around the block NO MORE! I need this structure. It feels good ๐ #longcovid#fblc
@benking01@LongSymptoms I'm now back working full-time as a teacher, do yoga every morning & a workout or a walk each evening. I know my body, I know when to rest. Quality sleep has been vital for my progression. It has been a long journey, but I've learnt to be patient with my body. Wishing you well๐
For the 1st time since Nov'20 & losing my health to #LongCovid I ran! I managed 18 mins& im very proud. I remind myself often to slow down so that I keep continuing to win this battle! Going from my legs unable to find the strength to climb out of bed to this feels surreal ๐
May 2022 (2 weeks after I got COVID and got severely ill with #MECFS#LongCovid . Pale grey skin, sunken cheekbones and a permanent eye infection) vs. now October 2023 (on my way to full recovery โบ๏ธ looking healthy again!!)

The reason I'm visiting twitter... I'm struggling to forgive relationships that felt non-existent when not social due to #LongCovid . Now that I am back socialising, forgetting being forgotten is hard! Bitterness and FU's are prominent - anybody else? ๐ค
@MichelleSairsel Good point. What's tricky is the group. A group of keepers and that odd fair-weather. I've not met up with this particular friend as I've avoided. But, it's got to happen soon & I just don't know how to approach. Forest friends for over 30 years until 2020...
