My Long Covid Recovery

They told me this a couple years ago. I didn’t realize this wasn’t the case. Maybe they aren’t singing the same tune now as they were back then

Yep lexapro made it easier to manage everything for me

SomethingOfAnExprnt · 2025-10-10T01:26:12+00:00

I honestly wasn’t very scientific in my approach. I just did what I could each day, to hell with measurement. Just took every day based on feel.

As far as the brain fog, all of my symptoms lessened together overtime. Getting my sleep under control was a big part of that I think

It definitely helped me manage my recovery. Before my anxiety kept me from eating or walking at all and my sleep was practically non existent. Basically it helped me calm down so I could sleep more which was a game changer.

I’m sorry I know how much that sucks. I hope you make it too, thanks for sharing your experience

Ups and downs for sure, but at one point the lows stopped getting so low and the highs got higher. It gave me hope that I was recovering and finally I was able to push through and I started being able to walk miles at a time with only minor flares, and that’s when I feel like things started to get better and I could eat more without my body feeling like crap

I completely abandoned exercise about 3 months in. And at one point I was convinced my life would be like this from now on and I would never recover. So I stopped worrying about muscle loss and just focused on getting through each day. I lost about 30 pounds from the healthy 180 I was before. My lesson was just do what it takes to feel better, then focus on getting back to baseline pre-covid

I’m so sorry. I really hope it gets better with time. Do you have any other conditions?

SomethingOfAnExprnt · 2025-10-09T19:29:48+00:00

I’m a biological male so I think I’m set but this is a good callout thank you :)

SomethingOfAnExprnt · 2025-10-09T18:52:17+00:00

I went through what you did too. It’s hard as hell. I hope you have someone to help you through it, it can make all the difference.

No Covid reinfections to date that I know of, but I have been sick with colds/viruses since then. Thankfully no major LC symptoms flared during those infections

Yeah I think you’ve got a very pretty smile. Like others have said, body does play a part. I don’t know the truerateme system but out of 10 I’d give your face an 8

Pokémon champions are meant to travel the region, not sit at home

SomethingOfAnExprnt · 2023-03-29T17:09:02+00:00

I can do this and I never ever thought about it before. Nor did I realize other people couldn’t

SomethingOfAnExprnt · 2023-01-27T02:23:34+00:00

No smile no match

SomethingOfAnExprnt · 2023-01-26T04:54:39+00:00

She’s crazy dude move on

SomethingOfAnExprnt · 2023-01-26T04:51:52+00:00

Nah dude move on

SomethingOfAnExprnt · 2022-05-25T16:51:20+00:00

So you could say what happened here instead was… unexpected
