Good morning lovelies! Wanted to share a quick update with you | Amber Sears

Good morning lovelies! Wanted to share a quick update with you as I’ve been getting asked a lot about how I’m doing on IG and want to share what I’ve been doing to recover from Covid.

I’m currently on day 9 of dealing with this virus. I truly thought I would be on the other side of it by now, but this shit lingers.

I’ve truly never experienced anything like this. It doesn’t run its course like a normal virus/flu. It works in waves and attacks you mentally, physically AND spiritually. I’ve not only been dealing with physical symptoms, but navigating some big emotions like anxiety and depression.

It hits me hardest in the morning with nausea, digestive upset, and intense fatigue. I do my best to sleep through this period. By midday I feel relatively normal with some fatigue and can eat without the nausea. It’s the same pattern everyday. I keep waking up think I’m going to feel rested, but I don’t.

I’ve had 3 immunity support IV drips over the last 9 days, which have been the greatest help. I’m taking vitamin D, C, K, all B vitamins, zinc, and Quercetin. I’ve been sitting in front of our red light therapy machine for 20 mins per day, and doing a bit of time in our infrared sauna. For my mental health I’ve been watching funny movies and light hearted shows that keep me smiling and in a better headspace. I’ve been staying off my phone.

I think it’s taking me longer to recover then I thought mainly because I’ve had to take care of my son without any nanny support for the first 5 days which meant I couldn’t sleep and rest most of the day like I should have. I also tried to get back to normal life too quickly on day 5 when I was feeling better and got hit again with another way of it the following day. I’m learning that you have to be super patient and not push yourself to get back to life too soon with this thing.

I am feeling better today after getting a 3 hour nap under my belt this morning. I have lots of nanny support now and can focus on resting. I’m coming out the other side of it and know I’ll feel 100% soon enough.

I don’t know how all other moms cope with being sick while trying to take care of their kids. The struggle is real. So much love and respect to all parents out there!

Wishing you all a great day ahead and thanks for your love and support
