I finally caught covid on Sunday while in the hospital :/ I’m vaccinated and boosted, so far I just have a fever, body aches, and post nasal drip. I’m hoping this is the worst of it.
I’m sorry, I’m trying to find where I read this- It was a tweet from a government body, might have been CDC, or HSE or NHS, I’m sorry but I can’t recall which, it was over a year ago. Citing some reasonably reliable evidence that people who tried to keep working/exercising/staying active despite being rather sick wound up having longer lasting symptoms.
I’m sorry to hear about your partner, I hope it improves
All good. Wasnt trying to put you on the spot. Just looking for info on the topic, and what you mentioned was something new to me, so I wanted to read up on it.
Found this, not the original thing I had seen… The thing I remember was actually someone else quote tweeting the CDC or similar’s advice, with the tweeter adding “seemingly if you get sick to reduce the risk of longer lasting symptoms you must channel potato”, but that was just a gag of course.
I just read this Time article and it might help her in some way. For what its worth, in my profession I speak to a lot of people about their circumstances and have spoken to several people with longer lasting symptoms (mainly brain fog and fatigue) and all of them continued to improve continuously over time.
That’s good to know! I have some chronic disorders that cause fatigue and brain fog, so I’m definitely trying to be extra careful with how I choose to heal from this infection

dont exercise dont work dont clean just lay there. long covid is correlated with “pushing through” the accute infection.
Do you have any source documents for this? My partner has been stuck with long covid symptoms for almost 2 years now.

For me, the worst thing was the fatigue. Just rest up at much as you can and be prepared to be on light duty for a couple weeks.
Thanks for the heads up :)
Lots of tea lots of soup lots of blankets, you’ll be ok bb
Yup, I had it in early October and I’m still struggling with fatigue and brain fog.
