I suspect like everything else, it varies . We have a post viral clinic in our town, separate from the post covid clinic, maybe you could find one near you
There advice is to pace yourself, not push yourself as used to be recommended. Small steps and rest when your body tells you to
I expect in some ways it can be harder to be the partner, supporting. Look after yiurself

Hi,
Is anyone in a relationship with someone who suffers from Chronic fatigue (Myalgic encephalitis)? I’m asking because I’m confused by how my husbands symptoms appear at times, and feeling very down at the things he can’t do, but also what he can do. He is not so bad that he is confined to bed for long periods, fortunately, but he seems to be affected in how much he can do, and the types of things he can do. Exercise, for example, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with. Just wondering if anyone else lives with someone who has Chronic fatigue symptoms and how it affects them.
Many thanks.
