Hi, I'm Holly.
I had covid in Dec 2022 (by all acounts it was a light dose, cold like symptoms)
followed by the Flu 2 weeks later (the bed bound, asleep 24/7 type flu. It lasted 6-8 days). And since then I have not felt 'myself'.
I used to jog twice a week and cycle. Do long walks 6-13 miles.
None of which I can now do.
I have only just been diagnosed with long covid, as my 'fitness ' wasn't improving and i gained a stone in 5 months. Id lay in bed with my mind avtive but my bidy felt like lead. If it wasnt for having to get up to sort the dog out,id of just not bothered to get up.
Hi! Your story sounds so similar to mine. I first had the flu and then Covid. My strength has gotten back to its previous condition, but like you my stamina is terrible. I can only walk a certain amount before getting dizzy and I too crash when I push myself. It is comforting to read that it is not in my head but that others struggle with the same symptoms 🩷
