Have had two back to back Covid infections - it took me a good 6 weeks to be back to myself after the last one. Tested positive (weak) a couple of weeks into this new infection (or it’s a relapse, who knows, LO was also really poorly at same time).
im at week 3 from this infection. I was so poorly I convinced myself I had a stroke cause of the vertigo and other symptoms- went to hospital and was clear.
ive struggled with things health wise since my LO was born. I’ve been told I’m burned out and exhausted and need a lot of rest.
I feel like a terrible mum. My parents care for my LO so much more than I feel comfortable with and I feel like a waste of space cause I can’t snap out of the exhaustion. I was getting there - 80% normal again after a slow steady slump and this further infection has made me feel hopeless.
my symptoms are severe brain fog, derealisation, weakness, dizziness, exhaustion. I think 70% is due to this second infection when I’d not got over the first one.
is anyone else struggling to get over Covid as much as me? I feel so ostracised and sick of the comments from other mums that I just need to get out and socialise. Of course I want to do that - when I feel well I do - a lot. But struggling to even walk to bathroom and back with this recent infection.
