Any Long Covid sufferers on here?

Thanks mate.
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 :(

On bad days, I seem to suffer mentally, too. I get very down and feel hopeless. Maybe I'm prone to a bit of depression, but the feeling is bad. Like everything feels pointless.
I'm learning to pace myself physically, though. You have to...the body won't let you do anything more than you can...tying my shoelaces is enough physical activity for one day for me! ;) I was doing 30 mile bike rides before I had COVID last xmas.

Jeez mate.
Sounds utterly rough. I'm sure you'll get there.
I didn''t think I'd run again but got there eventually (almost a year) and although not as fast I can feel it coming back.
Part of this is I put weight on and my fitness isn't as primed rather (I'm hoping) long covid.

In saying that, I'm back in Covid land and stairs are enough stress at the moment.
I'm now going to hit a 30 min walk. Driving me mad not being able to do much (gym/run) and living alone always makes things a more isolating.
Fingers crossed for you here to recovery asap - are you able to do walks?

@markir and @somapop. I hope you both start to improve soon lads. As I’ve said in an earlier post my doctors told me it would be a long job but if you’ll permit a virtual hug from an old lady to make you feel, hopefully, a little more positive please accept it in the sense it is offered. *hugs* *hugs*

I am learning to be more positive. I have to. My doc has referred me to the new Long COVID clinic that's opened at Hope hosp...hopefully they can be more specific with what's wrong and maybe be able to treat it.

Hearing that some people are now recovering is a big boost to me as I believed this was my new life.

Thanks, Eccles Blue;))

Got my first long Covid physio on Thursday so I’ll report back, whilst doing every test under the sun my MRI scans came back showing a fucked up spine so another problem to add to the list, just stay positive mate, things can only get better.
