Health

with brain fog and weariness- 6 weeks into it now. The first 3 1/2 weeks I was mainly bedridden, though.
Saw my amazing primary care physician yesterday who shared that patients who experienced Covid, as I did, are taking a good three months to get back to normal. And to be patient. Which helped me accept the exhaustion a bit more. She ordered a few tests, which I hope will alleviate more worries.

I am grateful that I had the Paxlovid to take. But the pharmacies in my area were out of it, once I tested positive and got the prescription. I began taking it on day 4..... sort of at the end of the effective range. But it really helped. I began to be able to get up and felt a return of a tiny amount of energy. But then the Rebound knocked me back again.

At week 6 I am mainly up and about, for more than 14 hours a day- and walking almost normally. Big victories, for sure, compared to where I was with this! And am more or less functioning. But I sure am not thinking clearly!!!!!! And suffer still from balance issues.

I can only wonder how bad it would have been had I not been fully vaccinated and had Paxlovid not been available at all.

Good luck with your recovery!!!!!
