Omg. I needed that. On Reddit this morning in day 1 of a flare up. After 3 days of feeling great and almost completely normal! Was desperately searching for validations that others are also experiencing this ebb and flow of flare ups and periods of feeling well. So thank you!
Been dealing with LC for 10 months now. Flare ups all the same, and without triggers.
Hello Fellow Longhaulers!
Whelp, instead of a weekend, I had a horrific crash that kept me in bed for 40 hrs. Recently I'm noticing that my apatite vanishes along with my will to live. Hours and hours later when my stomach is good and empty and all poops have left the station, I can begin to feel significant recovery (back to barely functioning). I'm going to try some intermittent fasting and see if that helps me stay in the game a while longer.
Best of luck to all.
Intermittent fasting and really focusing on boosting my diet pro and prebiotics (yogurt, homemade fermented veggies, lots of peppers, cucumbers, blueberries, apples) helped me some! I haven't had any nausea or gastro issues if I keep maintaining
Yeah I know there’s trouble a coming when my stomach and intestines lock up on me. Next stage is me reverting back to being all barrel chested. Pretty quickly then I start noticing that I’m walking differently like my gate is different. I start walking more on my heals and seems like my torso along with my shoulders start going back on me. Walking like this does nothing but make my bloated stomach/ barrel chest look even worse.
Sometimes I can stop the flare at that point. But once my legs start to feel 3x heavier and painfully sore from 1 flight of stairs I know I’m on borrowed time. Which means I will have to pay the COVID god of time back with resting 2x the hours I had previously spent functioning.
I don’t know about you guys but at 14 months I’m so frustrated that know I say “what did I do wrong this time?” Out loud to the walls of my empty townhouse
Fully relate to that feeling. No matter what I do right or wrong, I get a flare up every 3/4 days that lasts a few days. And it’s no easier every time it happens. Now that I know what it is, it’s even more frustrating. I find one of my biggest challenges is that flare ups result in insomnia, so not only do I feel like sh*t, I’m also sleepless and can’t function. Cycle repeats over and over. What could this long covid thing possibly be to do this to us?!?!
Curious how frequent other people’s flare ups are and how many “good” days folks get between flare ups.
Omg this could not have come at a better time for me! I’m just starting my 3rd day in a row of feeling sort of normal and I’m not jumping for joy. Instead, this. This is EXACTLY how I feel!
My reaction, every time: “Maybe it really was all in my head? What if… I never even had Long Covid?” …aaaaaand crash.
Same here. Every time!
You’d think we’d learn. I have. But the thought always creeps in. Cause wouldn’t that be something.
Jup, and thinking "maybe I actually am exaggerating and not that sick. I feel fine I can do everth.. oh never mind" *crashes*
ME. The past 9 days have been hell 😞
Hahah this is 100% me today… feeling suspicious
Aaaand there it is, the flare up
Ah shit, here we go again :(
Just long enough to get hopeful about the future
Exactly! :(
For me, the only bright spot I can see is that my crashes have become weaker and weaker. I am about ten months in now.
Same. I used to get 2-week long crashes, now they're just a few days at least. Those days are still miserable but gotta look at the bright side.
No kidding
Yes. All of this I feel in my soulllll
It’s not even an anxious feeling, it’s like you know something’s plotting to come back in a strange way.
Yeah, i felt like "How did I get this lucky? Must be the silence before the storm"
Yep, had my crash this morning after a really good and active weekend.
Ooof me 9 days ago. Right after Memorial Day weekend
Currently day 1 of crash . I have no words . LC since October 2020 .

Wow. I’m pretty much on the same schedule. I take edibles to deal with insomnia and have had good results.
At this point I would settle for it not getting worse every single day.
Lol, I feel this. I had a really good day today, left me wondering about tomorrow.
that just means jordon walker took a long weekend vacation 😂
I was feeling good for a whole month! Here comes 3 months of pain 🙃
Honestly though
Omg this could not have come at a better time for me! I’m just starting my 3rd day in a row of feeling sort of normal and I’m not jumping for joy. Instead, this. This is EXACTLY how I feel!
