Over it !!!

Hi

Yes. I found out i had it july 2017, it took me 18 months to get better and i still have the odd bad days now!

Hi Melanie,

Sounds awful, you think you're getting better, and have a setback.

I'm in month 15 and still have I slight fever almost everyday, and often get hit by general malaise feelings.

A lot of people here say 2 years.

I feel for you, I just went through a million tests too, all normal, so it's just soldiering on.

Take care of yourself, and we will get better eventually.

yes, and also PUFFY DROOPY AREA ABOVE EYES. do you have that?

Hi Melanie,

Sorry to hear you're going through a rough patch. I fell ill in May 2018 and I relate to the rollercoaster ride feeling, as many other people do. For 4-5 months I had that extremely dizzy, off-balanced, faint feeling. Unfortunately it's just something that you need to ride out as it will eventually go away on it's own (the problem is WHEN though, am I right?). I hope it doesn't last too much longer for you. It just gets so annoying and tiresome after a while. I understand your struggle and I just want you to know you aren't alone!

Take care

Hi Melanie,

I'm so sorry to hear you're having this awful setback at the moment after seeing a bit of progress before that. It really is so horrible this virus and I do empathise, and I just want to encourage and reassure you that this kind of thing can be normal during recovery but that things do get better and settle and truly you will get FULLY over this with some more time.

I remember too having phases even during recovery and into that second year of mini-relapse type episodes, it felt awful and frightening and so discouraging after having made so much progress. Generally though I found that even though they felt so intense at the time, they did not last anywhere near as long as before and within a few weeks things had settled and was much more back on track again. Sometimes these mini-relapses in a strange way can be a good thing in that your body is getting more and more to grips with the virus, and it is become stronger against it and every time you fight back from something like this (which you will believe me!) your body is stronger and much more equipped to fight this horrible virus.

I know all that doesn't help much when going through it at the time and feeling so drained and unwell - so just hang in there Melanie and just take it one day at a time. Your body is already a year into battling this thing and it is much better equipped now to deal with the virus so this will settle down, and even though it might be hard to see it now, with a little more time you will see FULL recovery and get back to full health again - I remember when going through it I struggled so much to see my body resilience returning or being able to cope with work or any normal level of activity, but your body (thanks to God only) has amazing powers of recovery. Hang in there Melanie, thinking about you, I'm believing that God is going to get you through this and back to full health again and that things are going to get back on track for you - keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

hey i have been sick 7 months now the dizziness and feeling faint was my worst symptoms for 5 months it was super bad so that is common with the virus i never thought it would go away but it eventually got better now im having the shakiness and weakness head pressure off and on some ear ringing and occasional eye floaters...i cant even imagine being sick for as long as you have been im truly sorry you have been dealing with it for so long this virus is insane...but i just wanted to assure you your symptoms are from the virus ive had the same stuff just to ease your mind i know it really freaked me out constantly

Hi Melanie,

I felt weak and terrible for at least a year and then it started easing up and it was a good 18 months until I was more myself, My daughter and I have found green tea and nettle tea and vitamin D seemed to help as well as monolaurin,
