[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ladies I went through this due to a combination of factors well before covid. You have to throw the book at it until you feel better, knowing that these efforts are temporary:

- Sleep, and if you can sleep, u[b]nisom, Benadryl [/b]etc.
- B complex, magnesium and calcium and zinc (at Trader Joe’s), fish oil, vitamin d
- smartest thing I did: massage every other week. Just do it for a month or two. Don’t take your phone, take a book, and too at least one hour before. Life changing.
- boiled egg and a carrot or green juice or smoothie every morning 
-check into a hotel by yourself once a month- does not need to be fancy, just away from everyone, invite a girlfriend for a sleepover and be silly
- psychiatric help if you feel cloudy- the amount of long covid brain fog is severely under reported and easily treated with a variety of medicines

I’m sure I’ll get slayed for the above suggestions, but having been through this burnout thing, I know these work.

I know you are trying to be helpful, but sleep is not the issue here with most of the posters. I haven't posted yet but I could have written a lot of these posts. it's called burnout. I completely agree that sleep is crucial to health and believe in sleep hygiene, but we are dealing with is structural.

Wanted to add caution to the unisom/benadryl recommendation.  Those drugs are supposed to be linked to dementia so I would use them sparingly. [/quote]
