Congratulations you survived COVID....
Maybe the actual event was relatively mild, you weren’t hospitalized and hooked up to a ventilator, or anything, but you were down for a couple of days. And felt miserable and sorry for yourself. On paper at least, you’re over it, but you aren’t yourself. Especially when you have to BE ACTIVE. It’s as if the wind has been knocked out of your sails.
And this, is NOT YOU. Prior to your viral encounter, you gym-med 5 times a week and LOVED IT.
You’ve had a bad flu before, but this is different. A trip to the doctor leaves you with a diagnosis of LONG COVID.
LONG COVID is currently a catch all phrase which encompasses everything from feeling a bit flat and under the weather, to being flattened because of severe organ damage and muscle wasting, because you spent 3 weeks in ICU. In your case, it doesn’t really tell you why you feel so awful.
Your doctor tries to be reassuring……Everything “looks” normal. You will recover, it will just take time. And they’re “right”, you probably will get over it, but you want to do this sooner, rather than later.
What could the problem be ?
Well, I would like to suggest, it might be due to a “shortage” of iron and if it is, it’s something that you can fix, sooner rather than later. Watch the video to learn more about the iron COVID connection.
