My experience with the dreaded C19 was heavy & flu-like symptoms followed by weeks of a tight chested ache, quick fatigue & belting heartbeat if I exercised.
I insisted on going for long walks & purposely deep breathing & after a few weeks, it faded away.
I now understood why the frail could succumb to it.

I just read yesterday that people getting COVID-19 should avoid above normal exercises - take it easy. Sigh.
The more we know the worse long-term impact appears.

Yeah. I am walking my yard with my dogs and picking up a few sticks, pulling a few weeds. It is about all I feel I can do right now. I believe that advice is based on the fact that some people develop myocarditis…think I spelled that right…and it takes time for it to reverse itself.

How long has it been? I am finally regaining taste and smell. Brain is finally feeling more like myself. I put off my new PC build until I felt more sure of myself. The only lingering affect now is the inflammation in my sinuses which is giving me constant sinus headaches. Aleve seems to knock it out…of course, allergies are terrible for everyone this year so that may also be a factor.
32 GB RAM is all I need now and I can finally move forward. I H8 CoV 2 4EVER

You’ve been reading that anti-vaxer propaganda again. More RAM will not cure Covid.

Well, long covid has apparently set in with chronic sinus headaches over and behind my eyes and continued diminished smell/taste with several dizzy spells for no apparent reason and of course, fatigue. Most clear up in 3 to 9 months…it has been 2 months…I have an ongoing issue with inflammation likely due to already having arthritis which is an auto immune disease…only 16% still have long covid after 9 months. I really want to run with the average crowd right now but I have already made the 35% group. Hoping to drop out over the next month…or so…

Take care @sheralmyst , and request medication if possible. Or try memory/scent therapy. That didn’t work for my wife, but apparently helps some people. My wife has diminished smell/taste for 3 years now.

So sorry for her. Mine has improved and I am just past the 2 month mark so I remain hopeful. Just really need the headache to stop. It is better when I am up and moving so I am up a lot…though I just completed Jedi Survivor which made my head worse but was worth it

What concerns me is that latest stats show that 10% of those infected with Omicron now get long term COVID.
This nasty virus health problem is far from "over. "
