Even when I've paced myself consistently well-enough to avoid the debilitating #fatigue and #PostExertionalMalaise #PEM of #LongCovid the #fasciculations in my calf muscles go on and on.
Years of this now, with no clear understanding WHY.
It's exhausting.
Pretty constant #fasciculations for a few years now. I've got used to my calf muscles twitching...
#LongCovid
Similar graph for the past 12 months showing very low symptom burden across the year
...So much so, that my #LongCovid #PEM symptom burden is now very low, and negligible on many days 🙂
I don't record the pretty-constant #fasciculations in my legs, as I don't find them disabling...
...apart from the #fasciculations that arrived with my #LongCovid over 2 years ago 👇
Frequent fasciculations above my knee again this evening. Much less ignorable than my usual calf-muscle #fasciculations 🤔
#LongCovid
...but 45 minutes of hoovering, cooking and washing-up has really dialled-up my leg #fasciculations 😯
I should have micropaced those activities 🤔
Time to Rest before heading to my weekly #NuffieldHealth gym session.
#Pacing to avoid debilitating #LongCovid #PEM symptoms 🙏
My #LongCovid #fasciculations have migrated above the knee, for a change.
Calf-muscle twitches have been a symptom for years now. I'm not sure why they migrate up my leg sometimes 🤔
The #fasciculations remain.

Another day of #rest. Sunday lie-in, cooked breakfast, #rested, wrapping presents, #rest, baking mince pies, more resting.
Leg #fasciculations are strong today, but no muscle aches nor weakness 🙏
#KubiosHRV showed Very High Readiness on waking; #Vsible_health shows rising HRV...
Oops - the fasciculations *are* still there - firing away in my calf muscles.
#Fasciculations #LongCovid
Holidays are over and I'm symptom-free, including no #fasciculations in my legs!
The tricky thing this week will be remembering to turn my (armband) heartrate alert back on, if I've had to silence it during a meeting or when teaching a lesson...
Got to keep my HR below 120bpm!
