We trace Ivor Clark’s Long Covid recovery from a 2023 infection and UTI to a careful return to work, highlighting the routines and supports that made progress possible. Pacing, breathwork, oxygen therapy, and a rare GP who listened shaped a steady path back to confidence. • athletic past, late-pandemic infection, UTI and antibiotics complicating onset • post-exertional malaise, normal test results, delayed Long Covid recognition • limits of early medical support, value of an advocate and listening GP • pacing by heart rate, non-sleep deep rest, reducing stimulants and sensory load • hyperbaric oxygen therapy via charity, structured protocols and consistent care • workplace adjustments, graded return, boundaries and restorative breaks • targeted tools later: diet cleanup, selective supplements, peptides • mindset shift from ill to deconditioned, micro-strength and balance rebuilds • fewer crashes, rebuilding trust, gradual confidence in everyday capacity Connect with Ivor: https://www.facebook.com/ProgressiveWellbeing Ivor's book "In it for the long haul": https://amzn.eu/d/0zfjQ6n Message the podcast! - questions will be answered on my youtube channel :) For more information about Long Covid Breathing courses & workshops, please check out LongCovidBreathing.com (music credit - Brock Hewitt, Rule of Life) Support the show ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Long Covid Podcast is self-produced & self funded.
