I miss lifting so much I’m
crying. I went to great lengths to avoid getting covid because it can trigger MECFS which means you can’t workout. After 3 years of avoiding covid I caught covid outside and got MECFS.
I want everyone who loves being active to know what covid does to even healthy people.
When the pandemic began I switched to working out at home instead of the gym to reduce my exposure. Then thanks to covid I lost the ability to workout period. Maybe there will be a cure for long covid someday but trump defunded what little research we had. People need to mask up. That’s it.
I’m so sorry Elana. These effects of forced infection break my heart, especially when it just doesn’t have to be this way—if everyone did their part to take care of each other like you did, this wouldn’t happen to anyone anymore. I’m so sorry.
Same here. I had been lifting heavy weights at a beautiful community gym (masking the whole time, mind you) and one infection did me in. Miss it so much.
I meant to tell you I had someone come up to me at a book event with a book to sign and say "you should do more podcasts like the one with Casey Johnston about working out"
I didn’t know there was such an episode, but I will rectify that immediately. I just came here to say that I want a recording of the conversation with Roxanne gay
