Any Long Covid sufferers on here?

My wholehearted sympathies are with everyone suffering with the long Covid. I don’t think anyone realises just how debilitating it can be. I have lost weight as well (which I did need but…)

Please, don’t think we are being wimps. As the saying goes: Don’t judge me until you’ve walked a mile in my shoes. (Not that I can walk even 200 yds these days!!) :-)

Fibro causes me a lot of pain and weakness in my muscles and restless arms and legs to the point i would gladly chop my limbs off ! , so long as i take the mag( the calcium just helps it absorb ) things are more manageable , diazepam for bad nights works as they both relax the muscles

When i first got ME and fibro my gp used to give me weekly mag injections , trouble was i dropped to six stone and the injections were agony so i had to find a good oral tablet and happened on mag 2:1 cal from a nutritionist i was referred to , made life so much easier

Kaz7 I really feel for you and hope that things get a bit easier as time goes by. I know that sounds like a cliche but I empathise. *gentle hugs*
 
Partners just had Covid, was poorly for about 10 days
I caught it off her and was only a bit rough for 1 day and negative after 2 days
I had it exactly a year ago and that time I was groggy for about 10 days as well
 
I'm pretty fit for my 73 years but got Covid in June. Good job I was triple jabbed or I think it might have seen me off. 40 years of smoking anything from Park Drive to Hamlets has taken its toll.
6 weeks on and I'm still absolutely knackered if I exert myself for even a couple of minutes ( gardening ,diy ,running up the stairs etc)
Also I have really bad sinusitis and covid seems to have messed that up even more.

Saw this earlier. The brain fog they describe is something I've suffered with. I thought it was due to dealing with a lot personally, particularly having a new born and my Mum fighting bowel cancer. But although she died in December, my brain is still absolutely useless. I used to have a really good memory for things. I'd remember what I had to do at work, who to chase, when I had meetings the entire week etc. Now I could forget a name as I'm typing it.
