Three years is quite a bit of time. I have never dealt with an illness for more than a week before this. Yet, here we are. The three year mark of my long Covid, or chronic post Covid-19 syndrome as my diagnosis states from 2023, symptoms beginning. Three years of dealing with the chronic fatigue and brain fog it brought me. Three years of dealing with people who want to continue to blame diet or other things.

It is now one year since I first felt the fatigue, thinking it might just be part of a light hangover. Three days after that, it was joined by sinus symptoms and a positive Covid test confirmed. A negative test on July 13th, but the fatigue continued. Twelve months is a long time to be stuck with a change in how one’s body works. That my constant feeling of weight under my eyes, brain fog when pushing through lighter activities too long and, what I started calling, that “brain melting”…
