Successful Long Covid Recovery - Melissa Mansfield's Story
Melissa developed long covid after a covid infection in 2022 and spent months with severe fatigue and post-exertional malaise before gradually improving through rest, pacing, and supportive care. About a year and a half in she noticed more good days than bad, and within two years she was dancing salsa in Havana and traveling through Europe again. Even after reaching recovery, she describes a normal period of lingering fear and self-doubt, which she says took time to work through. Her account shows that full recovery from long covid is possible, even when the road there feels frightening and slow.
