So, it’s now been two months since I stopped testing positive for #Covid, and I’m still dealing with intermittent mental and physical fatigue as bad as when I was undergoing chemo. Can’t move, can’t sleep, can’t read or watch anything or hold an extended conversation. Luckily this happens less often, but I can relapse if I overdo it, like spending a morning in meetings or running a couple of errands.

I also continue to have nervous system problems. My essential tremor, which was manageable with beta blockers pre-Covid, is significantly worse. And I’m waking up several times a night with new neuropathy in my feet, as well as tingling that runs all the way up the back of my legs to my butt. My blood glucose is similarly unpredictable, which probably means that I’m still fighting remnants of the virus somewhere.

The one positive: my rheumatoid arthritis, which caused my hands to be chronically inflamed, disappeared when I got Covid. It’s as if my immune system found something better to do than attack my joints. I still get occasional stiffness and pain, but it’s so much better than it was. My doctor and I are all 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Anyway, this is all to say that #CovidIsNotOver and you REALLY don’t want even a mild infection. #KeepMasking
