Any Long Covid sufferers on here?

I have appointments coming out of my ears for various tests...but I've had to cancel so many due to being ill.... I can't get to them! What the fuck do i do?
 
I seem to have taken a massive dip over the past few weeks and absolutely no idea why. Pain in my legs, feet and wrists is just ridiculous - if I sit in a chair the weight pushing down on the back of my thighs makes them hurt like fuck and every joint feels like the tendons are too tight. Walking the dog last night I had to tell the Mrs 3 times to slow down cos I just couldn’t walk any kind of pace.
We’ve been sat watching the tv this evening and by 8pm I had to go lie on the bed to watch the match - just can’t get any relief. My feet feel like they’re sunburned!
Still getting absolutely no joy out of my gp; they shrug their shoulders and say take ibuprofen and paracetamol.

Do you suffer from allergies?

Might be worth taking some hayfever tablets as the time frame you mentioned matches with when my hayfever started getting bad.

Loratadine has been the best for me although centirizine is good as well. But it makes me need to drink quite a bit of water as you feel dry a lot.

Yeah been taking them a few months now but so far no luck. Might see if my gp will prescribe Fexofenadine as you can take up to 4 a day of them.
 
I've been saying how much weed helps with my Long COVID and now the studies are coming in that back me up..

Had Covid a couple of years back, had to take a test to know. Got it again and it’s kicking my ass a lot more than before. Thought I was almost over it and it just came back like day three. Oh joy

Hope you’re better soon, I had it bad right at the beginning hospital induced coma the full monty. Luckily once recovered had no long term affects that I’ve noticed.
 
My lad is coming up 2 1/2 years with long covid. No improvement at all to the extent he has bought himself a wheelchair so he can get out a bit (more than 100 metre walk and he is fucked for days).
I wish someone across the world could get a handle on this horrible acute condition.

I'm still getting counselling to stop me topping myself. Not that I want to end my life...but sometimes it feels like it.

He is 38. Used to climb mountains, cycle race, told by his Doctor he had the lungs of an elite athlete. Caught Covid for the first time in the summer of 2022. Brushed it off he thought…..
He is lucky that his employer allows him to work from home. He is still as sharp as a tack but his body is in constant turmoil. He is managing his condition by strict diet and no physical activity at all. That seems to lessen the worse of the crashes but god knows what other damage it’s doing. My eldest daughter also has it and just returned to work recently. She is a year in. I guess as a family, we have just been unlucky as it’s like the condition doesn’t exist to everyone that hasn’t experience of it.
