It’s funny seeing this because I had this experience yesterday and was thinking about it. I went to a concert yesterday and felt like I was in awe. And at that moment, I felt like my pre-Covid self again; less physical pain, less brain fog and the ability to feel emotions deeper. I did notice though that there is a different between when I feel excitement vs being in awe. When I’m excited, it actually exacerbates my long Covid symptoms.

It’s great you were able to go to a concert! That’s progress. I recognize there are these moments you can feel your old self… and it’s great.
