2/4
Today I cannot do anything but sleep and rest. A quiet and dimmed room with no input to my brain is all I can handle. I slept thirteen hours through the night and, after a late breakfast, went straight back to bed. My brain feels very mushy.
Right now my family are gathered at my sister-in-law’s for the big Easter dinner, and there is no way I could be there. I had to drop out. All the people and their chatter would be massively overwhelming for me.

3/4 I regret having been so active the past two days. I pay the price for that now, and the price is high and it hurts. Yes, I enjoyed myself, but I wonder whether I should have paced myself better. My wonderful husband warned me, but I wouldn’t listen. #pacing #PostExertionalMalaise I can’t overemphasise how frustrating and exasperating it is to have Long Covid. My life is just a few shards of the one I had before #Covid.
