Finally, while I’m about “90-95%” better, maintaining a consistent state of wellness is an ongoing process, and minor relapses do happen if I push too hard. I practice caution with dosing exercise volume and intensity, and sustained exertion in the heat is still off limits.

I hope this thread has been helpful to those of you that asked. Thank you for the support!
(Now I’m going to go back to hiding under a rock because selective use of social media is also a part of my energy budgeting strategy)

After dealing with my own clinical course of #longcovid for most of this year, this hospital PT and competitive rower can confirm that #covid may seriously F you up even if you are young, healthy, and never “sick enough” to be hospitalized. 😷

Thankfully I’ve returned to work and am feeling more human now, but being back to treating Covid patients fills me with dread and great concern re: the long term fallout this virus is going to have for so many of us 💔

At some point there will be no back up staff to come in and no places to divert patients.

Remarkable recovery following double lung transplant in the first healthcare worker (out of state ER physician) suffering from terminal COVID-19. @SamKimMD @NorthwesternMed @NMSurgery
