We have been dreading getting this new virus fo the last two years, and as time has passed, it seemed to have given us a miss.

So when number one son came home with it, we knew we would probably get it too.

Most people only get a mild version, so we thought we would too.

Unfortunately, our age and medical histories are working against us, and we had no idea just how ill we would become. We are still testing positive and feeling dreadful, and beginning to wonder if we will manage to walk away from this virus after all.

We have always been fully paid up members of the ‘fake it until you make it’ brigade, so will try to fool this virus into thinking it is time to move on, by carrying on as though nothing has happened…

  12. From our post-viral community (the ME/CFS folk) to yours: please REST. Please do NOT push yourselves to do anything you’re not feeling up to. The sense of forcing yourselves back to normal, to catching up, is not good for you.

    There is no cure yet, but you can make things much worse. I wish I’d gotten that advice almost 33 years ago when I tried to prove I could still go to work, still do research physics, still contribute to my lab.

    The only person in our support group who ever got well was the one who did not push herself. Wish I’d followed her example, but we didn’t know, thought we were just being weak.

    1. It is natural to want to get better as soon as possible, but trying not to push it.

      1. Getting better, yes. Pushing yourself back to pre-illness standards AND trying to ‘catch up’ from what you missed – could be counterproductive.

        Just warning – LC is a very definite post-viral illness, and the wrong people are trying to tell its victims it’s all in their heads – which of course it isn’t!

        Survivors will do what they want and what they think is best; I’m not trying to tell anyone what to do, but just to sound the warning so they can’t say no one told them what might happen.

        It’s all I CAN do.

        1. We don’t have the strength to push anything yet, but we are more than happy to wait, Alicia…

          1. I can’t believe how long it is taking me to recover from surgery; you should take the time your bodies need to feel good.

            1. Really looking forward to that day!

  13. Oh no! I’m so sorry the virus caught you after all this time. 😥 I hope you both recover soon and without any lingering effects. Sending healing thoughts and love and hugs to you and your families 💕🤗💕

    1. Thanks for your healing thoughts, Harmony. We could sure use them…

  14. So sorry to hear about your tough time with Covid. Look after yourselves and keep safe.

    1. Nasty business, Goff… we will be glad when it’s over…

      1. Awful, I know. I have just recently recovered from the virus myself. Recovery takes a while. Stay positive my Friend
