Im so sorry you’re experiencing all these symptoms, OP.

If you had covid, this could be long covid, or ME/CFS which can be caused by viral infections. It doesn’t always happen right after the illness, there’s been a documented delay between catching covid and being hit with long covid. Can be weeks, sometimes months.

Look out for PEM (post exertional malaise). If you believe you’re experiencing PEM, do NOT push through. Pushing through PEM can permanently lower your baseline.

Doctors who have no education on what ME/cfs is*

It takes a five second google search to bring up scientific studies and recent guidelines that prove a lot of what’s being said wrong. Isn’t that a bit embarrassing that doctors are practicing with grossly outdated information and misinformation?

And there are millions of people who haven’t recovered. The recovery rate is 5%. I think if it was possible to think yourself better, there wouldn’t be millions still sick.

Telling someone who’s experiencing distressing symptoms to “get your shit together” isn’t very helpful either.
