    I had covid & have been suffering from fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, tinnitus, rapid heart beat, gastrointestinal issues & chest tightness. To all those people who are suffering long covid we will recover, it’s a slow process but we will recover. Keep positive & safe :-)

    I miss feeling “sober” I wake up exhausted every day

    Whoever invented this virus I pray that they get punished servilely as those who are suffering from the virus 🥺
  • @AdrianColley
    Long-term brain fog is, hands down, the most scary Covid-19 symptom.
  • Sadly I can totally relate to you all here.. Covid and Long covid is absolutely awful…!!!! Those who created and made this virus knew exactly what they were doing.! I too had covid in August It’s now been 3 months and on and off I still get all sorts of side effects… Rapid heartbeat, chest and arm pains, brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, My taste buds and smell hasn’t quite returned to normal.. One minute I’m ok the next I feel like I’m having some sort of panic attack…I’ve seen both a pulmonologist and Cardiologist ran all sorts of tests, which thank God were ok… sending prayers to you all from Crete Greece, God bless…

    I have terrible shortness of breath and fatigue,. It has ruined my life. I cannot even take the garbage out without getting so out of breath I can hardly speak. I am a nurse and got Covid twice, was off work without pay and now am practically debilitated and still have to work bc they cannot diagnose it. (thank you Biden, nurses risking their health for the health of others while everyone else got to stay home safe and get paid!). It has made me bitter and depressed. I was a healthy active person before this. Now I feel like I am 90 years old.

    My Long COVID battle started last year in January with extreme fatigue, sleeping issues, breath shortness, joint pain, brain fog, inflammation, heart and blood circulation problems and a whole range of allergies which I never had before. Now, one year later, I slowly feel much better and back to life, except for ongoing inflammation in my body. My doctor misdiagnosed my brain fog for dementia and also prescribed psycho pills .......

    I wish they had talked about the constant bad taste in the mouth, and the awful smell that persists. In addition to fatigue, I have these symptoms post covid. Sometimes the smell is so bad, it makes me nauseous and I struggle not to vomit. I also struggle with gastrointestinal problems too. All since I got covid.

    We got a horrible strain and what we are dealing with is dizziness, faint feeling , nauseated , and anxiety from all that. It's TERRIBLE!!!!!!!
  • @marcusarelius
    Had Covid in July. I’m noticing dizziness when I’m anxious or stressed in public situations

    I was really hoping for something more optimistic than "Maybe you are crippled for the rest of your life." I mean, it is always good to speak the truth but this is a fact we are all very much aware of, so any news and development about research and potential cures would be a much higher added value.

    How I got through COVID: 1 Liposamal Vitamin C 2 Nautres Defense- Lions Mane 3 Yerba Mate Tea 4 American Ginseng 800 mg… I’m back doing muscle up and running..
  • I had Covid back in May and I still have really bad body aches especially my legs, I can’t hold a long conversation as I run out of breathe. I’ve been told by a fiend who is a doctor that my left lung is congested. A coworkers claims she has memory loss since she was I sick. It’s scary. Stay safe!

    It’s only been a little over two weeks since I’ve tested positive and I definitely feel better but I still feel the breathlessness, I have a random rapid heart beat, occasional intense migraines, and extreme fatigue and malaise. All I want to do is sleep. I’ve taken a nap every day for the last week up to 4-5 hours on some days and I wake up just as tired. I’m fighting it right now as I type this and caffeine or taking walks does nothing for me. The thing that is so frustrating is at the peak of my symptoms it hurt to breathe even laying down. My chest was aching and I was struggling to get air, yet when I went to the doctor she helped me none. I was in and out of the appointment in 15 minutes. They pretty much only took my vitals and gave me a Covid test. She prescribed me steroids and that’s it. At that time I had diarrhea, headaches so intense I couldn’t move my eyes, nausea, fever, fatigue, congestion, a hoarse voice, and I really couldn’t breathe. I went in to the appointment fully expecting to be given oxygen or something. The pulse oximeter showed 87. However I had fake nails on so she couldn’t tell if it was a accurate reading. She told me my lungs “sounded perfect”.🙄 Weird though because she didn’t listen to my lungs from my back and only my chest for a few seconds. I honestly think they just wanted to go home. I was miserable the last two weeks recovering at home and I ended up hacking up all kinds of mucus so I don’t know how my lungs sounded perfect. Anyone else feel like everyone only cares about Covid right now and not actual care.😕

    Had covid few weeks ago. Felt like a bad cold with a few days of other mild symptoms. But the post coughing with pleghm will not go away along with some congestion. Sometimes the cough hurts so bad the chest starts to hurt. Does anyone else have coughing issues after covid?
  • My symptoms are awful. I'm strong. I was a very tough athlete and I can't make it through a day. I am utterly exhausted and I have to vomit all the time...in waves...every single day. This is so miserable. It's been many months of this and I'm getting more and more depressed. I don't have hope I will be my normal self again.
  • @wildflowerz4me
    I like so many others are mentally exhausted having to endlessly be tired. Always planning 3 days away for anything. And if I do anything I know I am going to be useless for the next 3 days.
  • does anyone have rapid heart rate after covid? i’ve been dealing with this for a month. went to see my doctor, did and EKG and was fine. i hear it’s normal but of course it’s scary.
  • @magnellah
    It’s been 7 months and I still have the classic signs of Chronic Fatigue. Really over it, society in general doesn’t seem to acknowledge for some reason.
