Now heading into my third week of COVID. My first time in the rodeo. Can’t imagine what getting it in the beginning would have been like. I am fully vaccinated and got Paxlovid in the beginning of this round. So tired of not being able to go anywhere.

Having had it in the beginning, I can attest it was hell. 29 bags of Remdesivir. A few hours from intubation. My energy levels have never bounced back. It was 3 months before any form of cardio was possible.

@paulcraig901 I had it easy by comparison, but even now it’s no joke.

@stupendousman thanks! Feeling much better today. Fingers crossed there isn’t another rebound.

@paulcraig901 do you feel you will ever get back to what used to be normal?

I’m afraid not. I’m a long hauler now. I manage well most days. The real key is consistent exercise once cleared by your doctor. Go slow, go easy. It will help with the fatigue.

@paulcraig901 my energy level has been pretty good. Just can’t seem to completely shake nasal and lung congestion.

That’s going to take time. I’m sorry you’re going through this. It is pure hell and I wish it on no one.

@paulcraig901 thanks. I will be a lot more circumspect about putting myself at risk going forward. I have no desire to get it again. Hope you improve in any way possible.
