Hi Fran, I'm sorry you're having a difficult time with the medical profession. I was lucky that my GP eventually believed me. I have slowly improved over time. The last thing to ease was the brain fog. I only have a small amount now and then but nothing like I was having. My fatigue is nearly gone, I'm just about back to normal. It's taken 16 months. I haven't worked in that time but was fortunate to have enough accrued leave. I am going to return to a part time role doing less and working for myself. Everyone is different, but I think the only way to recovery is complete rest. I'm also on the stations ad part of a long covid trial, not sure if that's made a difference. All the best 👍. Happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for sharing Sally. Done and was very easy . I try and do as much as I can when it comes to research , it all helps.

Things that help me - meditation , listening to a calming meditation from a free app whilst laying on the bed or reclining on the couch - doing what I can when I have energy eg cook dinner mid morning instead of 6pm. - cook easy meals such as curries in the slow cooker, they have minimal preparation time and can cook away all day. - I set reminders on my phone to do tasks as soon as I know about them or I'll forget eg order meds from chemist, call Jane for her birthday ,I'll set 2 reminders for the day I need to do the task in case I forget the first one 😅. - I keep notes on my phone in case I read information or hear about something to do with Long COVID that I might want to follow (cause I'll never remember it later) Articles, trials, meds, support groups etc. - I rest when my body needs to, this has been the hardest, by nature I'm a workaholic. I have a few good days, do too much then crash and sleep for a whole day. Pacing is definitely the way to go. If I can't get going, I don't worry, I rest until I can or there's always tomorrow. - I am very lucky I have a lot of leave that I can take from work and know that this is not the case for everyone. If I hadn't been able to rest I would have had to have resigned by now.
