“My long Covid is gone!” I say frequently and then I do a thing, like play on the playground with my kid, and then have excruciating nerve pain for multiple hours in the night.
What I really mean is my base level has changed and I feel mostly ok most of the time but then very quickly I am not. #LongCovidRecovery
It's been a long time since I sat at jumping bean to write, & I'm unsure how long I'll be able. I'm trying to make myself do normal things even if I can only do it for 10 - 15 minutes at a time. Today? Going to try & work on my #newsletter.

Beautiful soft & squishy #bluefacedleicester #wool. Ready for a hat I have in mind for a good friend.
I've had a bit of a #longcovid crash this week, which meant being unable to do much. But I find I can still #spin or #knit as it doesn't require me to stand. It's so good for my state of mind to be able to do something and I think spinning is soothing for my #nervoussystem.

First #snowdrops
I felt #tootired to #walk today so hung out in my #garden for 10 minutes.
Listening to the #birdsong (Great Tits & Robins according to my Bird Net app) & spotting all the signs that #spring is on her way.
These beauties, being the most obvious. Nestled close to the wall, they are more sheltered than the rest and out a little earlier.

#Bandstand #adventures in the #park!
My two girls have loved playing here since they were barely able to climb the steps. These days it's just a couple of quick loops before heading on to other things.

Pre-Covid: Regular aerobic exercise that keeps my heart rate elevated to improve cardiovascular health and live to 100.
Long-Covid: Plan out exertion to try to keep heart rate close to resting to minimize crashing an hour or a day later, and be glad to make it through another week.

The temperature has definitely dropped but the benefits remain the same & rehab efforts continue.
CW #swimming / dipping sends your nervous system into overload. The brain has limited bandwidth and with the cold to focus on there is no space left to worry about anything other than the cold. This focus on the present & has much in common with #mindfulness exercises.
Would love to hear how others >30mths are getting on.

What a read.. everyone should #readThis #bookmark
#brainFog is much more than forgetting where you put your keys, but that’s what people think it is. This was #beautifully #written
I’m sorry & sad you’re going through this.. I believe people can clear this🖤, it just takes 8+ months & not getting #reinfection in the #meanwhile ,which is a tall order considering the way #society is behaving #currently

ABCNewsLive did a phenomenal 11 minute piece on #LongCovid featuring the COVID-19 Longhauler Advocacy Project's very own Dir of Education, Netia McCray, and Founder, Karyn Bishof! They discuss life before the pandemic and how dramatically it's changed living with #LongCovid. 1/2

Challenge: Day 1/30
My long covid seems to be easing up a bit. I've been able to be a tiny bit active w/o crashing for weeks! Today I added 5 min of light stretching. I'm going to challenge myself to do 5 minutes a day. Baby steps! I might do 5 min of corpse pose some days, but 🤞🤞🤞 #challenge#longcovid #longcovidrecovery #healing #chronicillness
