"long covid" rehab and testing yourself with video games

If you are suffering from "long covid" then you know all too well the neurological symptoms, as well as the physical symptoms that arise on a bad health day vs a good health day.

One thing I have used as a barometer for my health has been video games!

When I was at my worst, I was not able to play intense games like Fortnite or Call of Duty. As my health has recovered, I was able to play some without feeling the typical pain/fatigue/shake/brainfog/dizziness symptoms.

This is hit and miss - as even yesterday I did an hour stream of Black Myth Wukong and it made me dizzy and I had to sleep. A 2-hour nap seemed to cure me!

So, incorporate something that is mentally stimulating into your overall treatment plan. The body is amazing and will heal itself in time, but you must keep pushing yourself and testing it. Don't overdo it though!

Video games for me serve as a test to see just what my brain can and cannot handle. My health is not at the point where I could just play games all day of course, but when it is, then I will know that I am fully healthy!

I hope this story of mine can help you if you are also suffering with the same health issues that have affected me!

God Bless!
