Since having Covid in 2022, (was fully vaccinated and very careful), I have been diagnosed with the morphea form of scleroderma, and now being tested for possible concurrent Polymyalgia or another autoimmune disease. I now have profound fatigue, muscle and joint pain, vertigo, chest tightness and shortness of breath with minimal activity, skin burning and itching.
Prior to Covid infection I was hiking and backpacking and enjoying life. Unfortunately my husband traveled in January snd came home sick, and we both had Covid again.

Thanks for reaching out and I am so sorry. I haven't been the same since covid. Severe eye swelling, constant rashes, joint pain and swelling, also now have carpal tunnel and tennis elbow. Trying to get someone to listen has been very difficult finally starting the process to start testing for autoimmune disease. My heart goes out to everyone going threw this. It has destroyed so many lives iam starting to believe I will never go back to my normal life. Haven't worked in 6months yet can't get any help so unfair. These chats are helping so thank you again. Prayers for healing
