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

• 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
