Alive,but
It’s not yet the end of the year, but wow, my first brush with COVID – it hit at the end of July – has taken over life / 2025 and sapped me of the already-limited energy I had. I’m now thankful for Corey having been laid off, because without that, I wouldn’t have gotten onto Oregon Health Plan and had access to decent healthcare at this time.
Currently:
- my ferratin level is low, though improving slowly with iron pills
- I have trouble with sitting up (rather than lying down) and talking feels like jogging levels of exertion
- I likely have POTS, but don’t get into a diagnostic appointment until June
