Coping with Long COVID and Asthma as an Athlete

Hey! I have been battling long COVID with asthma since March 2020, and have been on and off of prednisone for the last 2 years. How do you keep your spirits up, particularly when you were an athlete before falling I’ll?

Thanks Joanna! It’s really nice to have people who actually understand! Any tips for the mood swings on prednisone? I’ve been on some roller coaster emotional rides.

💕 oh gosh Wow what a long haul. Prednisone works wonders for me for my asthma when I have terrible symptoms but I hate being on it because I don’t sleep. I am recently recovering from Covid and I am experiencing the waves of recovery. I am a Zumba instructor and I am just taking it one day at a time and remembering that recovery sometimes isn’t linear and my doctor told me that healing with this virus comes and goes in waves 💕 feel better!! Glad you are here Jules! 🤗
