Are you saying your husband died of Covid and you have long Covid yourself. I'm very sorry. Om Namah Shivaya. I pray you get over.

My husband is alive. I have long covid.

So, the ending of the mask mandate may have given it to you? I am sorry. Hope somehow it goes away. I know that sounds somehow childish, but the audacity of hope, you know.

because it was essentially 4000: 1. The only person who continued to see a threat was me. It must have been me who was wrong if all of his coworkers had made the same decision. I am of course but a woman. What do I know.

Enough. I know enough. (2)

In Dec 2022 after some mandatory Christmas work party, we find ourselves with Covid in the house for the first time.

I am immediately flattened. My heart rate is through the roof. My head is surely going to explode. I can’t breathe when I’m walking. I can’t keep my eyes open. My legs are jello (3)

I cant stand. I can’t take the dog to pee. I can’t even sit up.

I went to the ER two or three times before finally someone ordered a holter monitor. The monitor showed that my heart rate was going as high as 200 at times and I was having runs of SVT. (4)

It was months of parenting and homeschooling between naps. S would have to make us food for the day because I could not stand to cook. I couldn’t stand to make a peanut butter sandwich.

Months of this. (5)

Finally one Friday night I get a call at like 4:30 from my doctor and he’s like “lol how soon can you go to the pharmacy”. I started beta blockers the next day.

Starting beta blockers was life changing. I was still unwell. I still had POTS. I still had head pressure. (6)

But my heart being more under control let me sleep and I started to get my life back pretty steadily. I got a couple of doses of novavax and they helped tremendously. Life was better. The summer was great. (7)
