Any Long Covid sufferers on here?

[Innsbruckblue]

Wife tested positive on Saturday and I yesterday. First time for both of us and we both have all 3 vaccinations. She’s up and down, ill one minute, fine the next. I, on the other hand, feel nothing. No symptoms whatsoever.

Fucker isn’t it.
Felt like less since Thursday. Muscles aching & tinnitus on fire (always us when I’m ill).
Managed a 30 min walk earlier but tad exhausted.

It's taken me 2 years and 2 months to get back to what I call normal. 26 months of tiring quickly with aches and pains everywhere, gradually diminishing.
So there is hope.

Anyone had Covid recently?

As many will know I had it really bad in January last year (before vaccines) & took nigh on 6-8 months before I could exercise again. Took nearly a year before I got my running back & still not the same runner I was.

Tested positive last Thursday (mild) but drained over the weekend & today I feel leaden/lethargic & voice is but a croak.

Just resting up but could do with it gone as my well-being drastically shifts down when I’m not exercising.

Little I can do I guess but I’m wondering what the recovery time is on average?

Very similar experience here mate.

The advice I was given was not to push it too much. Yes try but listen to your body. It’s flaming hard when you are used to being active and I’ve tempered it by doing my exercise in 10 to 15 minute ‘bursts’.

Sorry not trying to teach my grandmother/father :-) to suck eggs so please don’t take that the wrong way. :-)

I had it about as bad as you get whilst remaining on the planet, within 3 months I was more or less back to pre covid levels so I consider myself pretty lucky after reading some of reports on here. Had both jabs and booster too without side effects besides being off for 24 to 36 hours.

Jeez. Strange disease & it’s been pushed out of folks minds (for many reasons).
Hope all is good now mate.

Sorry to hear pal. Bummer isn’t it.
You fighting fit again now?

Also was talking to a lass at work recently & neither of us knew where the fuck that granny eggs thing came from???

On Wikipedia it gives a couple of explanations but I was always told it was to do with the old days when elderly people had lost their teeth and they sucked everything and especially eggs at Easter. :-)

I'm fine now though I'm yet to push the exercise envelope to far yet.
My daughter, pretty much an expert in this shit, says you mustn't push exercising too much. Inflammation triggers the imune system to continually cause more inflamation with this illness. They are working on drugs to tame the problem of Cykotine storm recovery which will be a great help everywhere in medicine but they aren't there yet.

I've put any running/gym stuff off this week for sure.
Logged into work this morning but manager told me go and rest off. No concentration and just feel like a block of lead with a fucked chest.
Mihjt try a 30 min walk later - not that this will be a struggle more cognisant of damming the recovery progress (which ties in with what you mentioned above).

Was planning to do gentle Park Run on Saturday but will gauge how I feel in the week.

Through healthy living and running I didn't have as moch as cold 4 years previous to covid (and when I go round the kids they and the ex are always running a cold/ill) but Covid really doesn't suit my body one bit :(
