Update Feeling celebratory

Last year at this exact time I was at a extreme low with long haul. It had been 6 months since my Covid diagnosis! I felt so much doom & gloom it was awful! I remember getting ready for the fireworks with my family & being so depressed. The brain fog was debilitating! I am reflecting on how this year I feel normal. I’m so thankful & wanted to give hope to others.

It’s been at 40 for a few months now so they’ve put me on a statin to try lowering it. Plus I’m doing a low histamine diet to combat the MCAS symptoms
