This was an incredibly useful hour of advice. Thank you so much to Dr @BinitaKane and her guest, Prof. Todd Davenport @sunsopeningband 🙏
I scribbled some notes and will gradually communicate my biggest takes in this thread 🧵

Prof. Todd Davenport emphasised a variety of approaches to managing my #LongCovid #PostExertionalMalaise symptoms. At the heart of my new understanding is the realisation that, for the past two years since my first Covid infection, I now have an ENERGY-LIMITING DISEASE.

It took my legs a few minutes to warm up this morning, but glad to report that long morning walks remain easy, in contrast to later in the day. #Totnes is waking up beautifully ☀️

Spent more time in the garden today. Insect populations are booming! A bit of sunshine really helps to lift the spirits. #Hoverfly
Day 3 of #Omicron symptoms was my worst so far, with fatigue & a very heavy head, alongside sneezing. My tight chest, feeling of reduced lung capacity and tickly lung sensation had subsided slightly, as did the coughing, that had become painful on Day 2 #Oximeter down to 96%...
...so I slept a lot on Day 3.
But now it's 1am on Day 4 and I feel full of life. Fatigue gone. No more headache. Slight wheeze still, Oximeter 96%; no appetite, but sense of smell and taste are fine.
Wonder whether the worst is over, as I'm double AZ-jabbed plus Pfizer-boosted?
