Any Long Covid sufferers on here?

It was in the last month that I began to feel more like myself. I suddenly realised that instead of acute pain when I moved it was more a dull ache. For the past fortnight I have been on the minimum pain killer tablets. Plus staying awake for longer periods and tasting and smelling my food again.
For example today I did a click and collect order. Normally I have to have a rest in between carrying the groceries in to the house and unpacking but today I brought them in and unpacked and put them away before I sat down for my cuppa!

I’m a miser by the way. I do a delivery one week and C & C the next once a month (if that makes sense?) but I time it so that I get the delivery either free or 50p! And the C & C free.
Sorry that’s a long winded way of saying for 10 months I was in despair, trying to stay cheerful then the last few weeks beginning to feel more ‘normal’. I really feel for your son but tell him to keep in mind that ‘this also shall pass’.
I’m really sorry I can’t be any more help but everyone is different and I hope that youth will be on his side.

Thanks for that mate. I have told him not to get despondent and to give it another few months and he will start to feel better. It’s difficult for him when his norm was cycling up mountains and the like. It’s an awful thing and mrs s and I are concerned. You know what they say, a mother is only as happy as their saddest child :-(
Really glad you are feeling better.

Oh don’t I know it. My youngest has had 2 falls recently and although she is 52 I’m still worried about her!
As my own mother once said to me, you never stop worrying no matter how old they are!!
I really, truly hope he’s feeling better soon. Give him my best. :-)

Two weeks into whatever the fuck, this latest bout or probably boutS. Was - sneezing, headaches, coughing fits. With flashes of chest pains over night. Uhh.. Oh, and dire IBS. Fuck. Off.

Now I have a sore throat. PTSD style flashing images when I fall asleep. Tiredness getting much worse. Rashes on my chest? Can feel the excessive warmth in my back when I go out for a walk.

Have taken myself off the hook for righting the world's current wrongs tho, which is helping.

fucking shit innit?
 
Just got a positive test, second one in the last three months.
I am reading about possible treatment on canadian pharmacy website and going to order myself some meds as soon as i am done. At least i want to get rid of the throat pain and headache, cause those are really annoying.

Sorry you are still suffering , i understand having been ill since i was in my early thirties , life can really suck . Have you tried magnesium for your muscles ? I swear by it , taken it from the start , you need a high dose three times a day so contact biocare and they have an nutritionist you can speak to and get a good product to suit , it is free, i am on mag 2:1 cal, i will pm you their number in a minute

i ll do that...maybe the dose i'm on isn't much. Cheers Kaz.
 
It has taken me 3 years to get back to somthing like normal. The key factor is a VERY, VERY SLOW and steady ramping up of execise if you feel a bit bad, rest for a few days and step back in the programme a few months.
Also get your doctor to do regular blood tests and address any deficiencies. Metals, vitamins etc.
As Kaz says a healthy diet with lot of vegetables is essential.
Sorry but that's the bottom line.
There is no easy way back.

Archived Petition: Urgent funding for research into Long Covid and ME/CFS treatments and cures

Around a quarter of a million people are suffering with ME/CFS in the UK and over 2 million with long Covid. Many of these people are severely disabled. There are no cures of specific medicines for these conditions. Urgent funding is needed for research to find effective treatments and cures.

I am on no "side" inparticular here, i am "just the facts mam" and this guy has a lot to say. I am not full blown tin foil hat after watching it but i would give it a watch if you have a few minutes spare. To what degree this guys conclusions are correct i have no idea but its certainly worth a watch if you have a few minutes spare.

I have barely even clicked the thread here on covid and have no dog in this fight either. This was suggested in my yt feed, i watched it with an open mind and he really does have a lot to say. I actually clicked this thread to see if this video was being discussed.
