today was the last day of my antivirals and I don't feel any covid symptoms at all. but I do feel very very very tired much like I did for months after my vaccine last november, so. that's just gonna be a thing again.

if you find yourself struggling to bounce back after the acute infection is over, look up the way cfs/me folks use pacing. in general, only aim to do half as much as you think you can to start with, and take breaks the second you notice something feels even a tiny bit not great. pushing yourself will make it worse and should be avoided as much as possible. absolutely use shortcuts, workarounds, assistive tools, and frequent breaks to make tasks more manageable and less demanding. and whether you bounce back after a week or a month or a year or never, the disabled community is here to help.
