Im about to turn 63. The last 5 years or so have been one set back after another. I’ve always been very active - weightlifting, cycling etc. Now I’m a shell of myself.
My marriage ended after I discovered his secret life. I filed for divorce, hired a personal trainer, therapist etc and went at healing as a full time job. Felt physically great and eventually mentally great too.
Then I kept getting Covid - twice a year for a few years. Then long Covid. New autoimmune stuff - POTS and asthma. Every time I’d start to come out of the hole, I’d get sick again.
Thankfully, my immune system seems stronger now. No new infections in well over a year. Managing my auto immune stuff, walking every day, but I’ve lost so I much strength and endurance and flexibility and they don’t seem to be coming back. I feel almost frail. Now, I tweaked my back, so had to stop stretching and lifting for the past 2 weeks and counting. I’m still able to walk at a slow pace.
Has anyone come back after years of setbacks and deconditioning? I could really use some happy stories like that right now.
