I recall a while ago seeing a COVID-19 recovery guide doing the rounds.
IIRC it was published by WHO or another government org, does anyone have any idea on the doc I'm thinking of?

me: I finally felt well enough to take a real shower!
spouse: but now you're exhausted?
me: yeah. I'm all out of spoons for the rest of the day
spouse: guess now you'll just have to fork
me: I would end you, but I'm too tired
🤣

Lunch walk. Native plantings, incoming flights, Autumn colours. Deer across the river have quietened down. Must've found their mates.

Lucky to have this wee 2.5k loop taking me down by the river. Autumn colours settling in.

Once I hit menopause, my body rapidly changed. I went from feeling young and fit to old and frail almost overnight. I went from wearing a size small to a large, and since getting COVID in October, I’m suddenly a size XL and possibly still getting bigger. Having to buy new clothes all the time is expensive and depressing. I bought some pants which I only got to wear once before they were too small. It’s like going through a growth spurt in my childhood, except I’m not getting any taller.
Inositol was suggested to me by my naturopath to help with insulin resistance. I’ve been put on a limited diet. I’m not starving myself at all because that is bullshit. But I’ve completely cut out snacking, which I used to need to do throughout the day because of my ridiculously high metabolism. My metabolism has significantly chilled since menopause, so now I’m down to three meals daily and intermittent fasting. At first it was tricky because I had to figure out how much food I needed for each meal, but I think I’ve got it mostly figured out now.
I’ve cut out all sugars and simple carbohydrates. I’m still eating rolled oats because they’ve done wonders for my digestion, and I haven’t cut out dairy because my bone calcium is iffy.
Unfortunately, I think the inositol is making my guts unhappy. They always feel sour, and the way they roil around at night is keeping me from sleeping well. I think I’ll have to stop taking it for a bit to see if that’s what’s causing the issue.
Next week is a big week for me. I’m starting back up at the gym for the first time since early October, and I know all my muscles have fallen off. The first couple of weeks will be exhausting, and I’m also starting an evening class, so hopefully I won’t be too wiped to take any of the information in. I expect I’ll be napping a lot until my body gets used to physical exertion again.
I’m also getting my thyroid checked next week because apparently getting COVID can make it do loopy things. Why am I not surprised? It’s possible my thyroid is related to me suddenly needing to wear size XL pants.
Oddly enough, I haven’t gained a lot of weight. My body is metamorphosing. This isn’t even my final form. #CovidRecovery #BodyChanges #Menopause #PostMenopause #inositol #InsulinResistance

CW: Talk of diet
I’m trepidatious about going on a limited diet, but I’m also hopeful it will help reverse the constant weight gain I’ve been experiencing since getting COVID in October. When I was doing fitness competitions about ten years ago, I was on a strict paleo diet. It’s a ridiculous name for the diet, but it cut out a lot of the things which were triggering my gut issues. I know it’s not good for everyone, but I thrived on it. I was made of muscle. The problem is, eating that way is so incredibly difficult and often expensive, and it can potentially lead to disordered eating. Fortunately, I don’t have to go quite that restrictive this time. I won’t have to give up my morning porridge because that’s done wonders for my digestive system. But no more sugars or simple carbs for a while. Gonna miss popcorn. Gonna miss my tea with a lump of brown sugar. Hopefully my old clothes will start fitting again, too. Really tired of having to keep buying new clothes every few months. And hopefully I’ll feel healthier, too. #PostCovidWeightGain #CovidRecovery #Diet #Health #Digestion #Metabolism

My naturopath is putting me on a restricted diet for a month and ordering thyroid tests because of my rapid weight gain. No more sugar, refined carbs, or snacking between meals. Here’s hoping it helps. Thyroid issues run in my family, and I’m running out of clothes that fit. #PostCovidWeightGain #thyroid #Health #CovidRecovery

I got a ride to yoga and walked home afterwards. Although the session wasn’t difficult, I had to nap most of the afternoon. Oof. #CovidRecovery #recovery #fatigue

Climbing the long escalator at MARTA Peachtree Center Station was a little bit more difficult today after recovering from COVID.

Day three of daily walks. I think my endurance is improving. I’m not getting exhausted. Maybe I can return to the gym soon. #COVIDRecovery #fitness
-
That walk shagged me out. The test will be how I feel tomorrow. If I’m still exhausted, well, that means I’m not ready for 7km walks yet. If I’m not exhausted tomorrow, I’ll go for another walk. I hate being sedentary. I can feel my muscles falling off while all my clothes are suddenly too small. #COVIDRecovery #recovery #fitness

I usually recover from illnesses within a day of symptom onset, with intense symptoms for a few hours and then I'm usually golden by the next morning. Apparently my immune system uses Blitzkrieg tactics rather than getting stuck in the trenches.
COVID followed a similar pattern, with intense symptoms (moderate fever, chills and hot flashes, mild confusion/disorientation, insomnia, mild pneumonia, constant coughing) for the first 48 hours. Now only the damned cough remains.

Last night's fire that was visible from our bedroom (house fire? Not sure yet) caused us to break out the air purifier. Out of laziness we left it on all night.
Woke up this morning with less tight lungs.
Not sure how to process this info yet. We live in an unairconditioned old house, and rely on open windows and a whole house fan to capture the marine cooling overnight.
Will need to do some testing. This may be a difficult balance - my need for easy breathing against my need to a livable house in the summer.

I learn so much. I had to slow down bc long covid -- usually I have to rest a long time after an hour of yardwork. It's easier for me to wander around with hand tools and edit where necessary. I take an antihistamine, put on a mask, work clothes, boots, gloves, and thin out low branches over the sidewalk and walking areas. Today I worked an hour and a half (ok, I took a break to watch a butterfly and small wasps inspect white lacy umbels and baby blue eyes).

The latest payment of Italy's COVID-19 recovery funds has been temporarily put on hold, as Brussels and Rome agree on a one-month extension to allow gathering evidence before releasing preliminary endorsement.
According to the office of PM Meloni, there are three unresolved issues "subject to further study": ports concessions; district heating networks; and integrated urban plans to transform vulnerable territories into sustainable cities.
