As a PT I’ve tried and failed over a 100 times to gently return to exercise from a severe state. If it was possible I’d be cured by now. I decline every single time I attempt to push myself. It’s not mindset or a “preference” issue but completely physiological.

Unfortunately they didn’t give me much information besides that I have anteroseptal cardiac damage from a past MI. Based on previous tests they are guessing it happened 2023. I’ve been severe and disabled by LC since 10/21 and have daily chest pain.

Not a bad idea. I believed mine was non cardiac as well, and assumed the shortness of breath etc, was all from POTS

Thanks for sharing your story, Ty.

Yep, I’m one of those that receive biweekly cognitive rehab sessions with a brain injury specialist.

Analysts at Swiss Re (one of the largest reinsurers in the life insurance industry, with huge financial incentives to get this right) estimated that current COVID policies will see excess deaths of ~3% in the US and ~2.5% in the UK for at least the next decade.

Done. I thought this was a joke when I first saw it.

Thank you. I miss exercising dearly.

Minute two of exercise feels like mile 22 of a marathon when one “hits the wall”. It’s not deconditioning, feels like I skip aerobic metabolism phase. Then I spend weeks to months in bed recovering from 5 minutes of exertion.

I was a firm believer in this (why I became a PT, ATC, CSCS- taught ex. science etc.) and personally exercised daily. Now I have #LongCOVID and I become significantly more sick every time I try to exercise. We need research to explain why.

I’ve always been primarily neurological symptoms (seizures, migraines, coordination and speech issues, severe POTS) and am currently in an IVIG trial. Since starting the fatigue has been awful- totally immune system based.

Same. I’m severe as well.
