What this site is
Touche Pause is a small information site about symptoms that carry on after a COVID-19 infection. Tiredness that rest does not shift. Breathlessness on the stairs. A foggy head. A bad day that follows a good one for no clear reason.
The pages are written by a private individual who has read the public guidance carefully. Not by a doctor, a nurse or a hospital. Nothing here replaces a conversation with your own GP, and nothing here can tell you what you have. The aim is simpler: to put the main points from public sources into calm, short pages you can read even on a tired day.
Most people recover fully. For some, recovery takes longer, and it helps to know a few practical things in the meantime: how to rest well, how to spread your energy across the week, how to return to your usual activities step by step, and which signs mean you should see a doctor sooner rather than later.
A few pages in English
The main site is written in French. Only a handful of pages have been adapted into English so far, and they cover the essentials.
If fatigue is the main problem, or if you tend to crash a day or two after doing more, start with the page on pacing your energy and resting well. It explains how to split tasks, stop before you are exhausted and plan around good days.
If you are unsure whether your symptoms are worth a medical appointment, read when to book an appointment with your GP. It covers how to prepare, what to bring and which warning signs should never wait.
One key at a time
Each key on the home page opens one short page. Take them in any order, and take breaks between them. There is no rush.
