It's now almost been an year since my long-covid-ish inducing covid. My recovery was slow over the summer but steady, so I thought I was essentially over it by now. I can do my 4 mile bike commute without trouble and have fairly active days quite regularly. Last week however I went for a nice walk for the first time in a while, and it wrecked me with an all too familiar soreness and lethargy the two days after. Went for another shorter walk yesterday, similar issues today. Getting to terms with the fact that I might need help is such a hard thing to do.
I'm very sorry to hear you've been hit by this. It's affected a close friend of mine similarly severely, effectively turning him into a shut in for the better part of a year. Have you found anything that works?
