4. Fatigue
We all feel tired after a busy week, from long periods of concentration, or after intense exercise. Sometimes, though, the feeling of reduced energy levels can be experienced in a way that doesn’t seem normal. And there’s also the fatigue you feel even after minimal effort.
This extreme exhaustion is common for those dealing with long COVID symptoms, and it can last for weeks, months, or even longer. It can interrupt or stop you from doing everyday activities, and it doesn’t go away with sleep or a pastime.
The fact that there is a continuing response to the coronavirus even after the infection has cleared may explain why this long COVID symptom appears. We don’t know exactly why fatigue lingers even after weeks of recovering from the infection. According to some doctors, pre-existing conditions, poor sleep patterns, lower levels of physical activity, anxiety, and stress can significantly contribute to fatigue.
Try to break tasks that feel challenging down into smaller chunks and alternate harder activities with easier ones. Another way to manage fatigue is to take frequent short rests instead of a few longer ones.

I just want to say “THANK YOU” for your continual free information on many topics especially Covid. You put FAITH back in the hands of the people and it is much appreciated. I have been following you for many years along with others that offer great information. God Bless you and all others that follow your path. Thank you once again!!
No taste no smell and food taste from food is atrocious
Since I got the booster shots almost a year ago, my taste of food is altered to the point that if you blindfolded me and asked what I was eating, I wouldn’t know. How much longer must I wait until this corrects itself?
Since having the Covid shots (2) the last one in February, 2021,I have had to lean to walk again (this being with the help of a walker), kidney problems, and 24/7 care. I can’t work, cook, wash clothes, shop, housework, etc. Will I ever be able to do these things again?
I’ve had two doctors tell me they believe my medical conditions are due to reaction to Covid-19 vaccine.
I would call this Long Covid! And with no hope of getting better and no one to blame.
I would like to know when the public is going to be informed of these long covid/ vaccine injuries. I’ve been experiencing many health issues and doctors become deaf at the mention of Covid being responsible. It is not discussed. currently my blood sugar has been higher then usual and I am having a hard time getting it to a more normal range. Why do we see more encouragement to take the Covid shot if it is known that it causes these long term ill effects? It was known early on that it does not prevent a person from getting covid and the symptoms of the virus has mutated to more of a very bad head cold then a fatal respiratory virus, so why the encouragement of injecting ourselves with something that just exacerbates inflammation and makes us feel ill? These are my questions.
