When you get run down other opportunists sometimes can come around. You should be better by mow. I’m glad your body’s working on it.
It’s just fatigue?
Yes. That’s the only symptom I have that is still bothersome. I have not had fever in about 12 days. Fatigue is much better than it was at its worse, but it is not gone. It has been getting better in little plateaus of a few days at a time, as I mentioned, but it is not gone.
Unfortunately, I do not have a doctor now. My doctor of only a couple of visits–in August for physical, and October for follow-up–failed me miserably during my recent covid/insomnia episode. I am looking for new doc. That means I am dealing with this stuff on my own until I find one. I’d be hesitant to try any kind of aggressive treatment of myself on my own. I have heard of, or know, a number of people who had the fatigue and it took quite a while to get over it completely.
Other factors that I think are involved include the fact that this whole episode–covid and insomnia (insomnia has been improved by prescribed sleeping pills; seroquel, and I know I have to wean myself from that soon)– has gone on a little over four weeks. Because I had trouble eating for more than two weeks, I lost almost ten pounds. And I have no weight to lose; I am tall and slender, and don’t carry extra weight. So I think it is possible that all that time doing not much physical, as well as being down to my lowest weight of all time, is contributing to weakness. What I am hoping is that if I just keep taking care of myself with eating, vitamins, and ivermectin in prophylactic/maintenance doses of say, twice a week, and pushing myself to be as active and physical as I comfortably can, I will re-build strength. If this strategy doesn’t work in a week or two, or if I find a new doc soon, I will adjust and try something else. I am willing to put up with it, and let it be gradual, but improving, if that would be ultimately successful, and if I wasn’t harming myself by letting my body do its work and fix itself. Do you think that makes sense?
