      Thank you. I’ve slept for almost like 48 hours in the past 3 days and actually woke up feeling good today.

      How has long Covid affected you?

        Glad you’re feeling better today. Hopefully it stays that way.

        Post-exertional malaise is the worst.

        If I push myself in any way, I get a flare up of symptoms so I don’t feel I’ll ever get better. Back ache and fatigue (physical or mental)are a constant. Live by hot water bottles or heated pads.

        Had it worse in first year with brain fog, chest pain etc. Can walk now fine but anything more and I’ll get a reaction. Need to constantly watch myself and rest frequently.

        In summary, it sucks, but I’m used to it now.
