Multiple Strange and New symptoms after Covid
Id like to start this by asking are there others out there vaccinated versus not vaccinated STILL experiencing strange long covid symptoms? Do they appear to morph or change into more and more or do they seem like they are diminishing as time goes on? My mainstay longterm symptoms vary from constant eye floaters, dry stuffy nose, dry mouth, tingling on my face , eyelids, mouth and ears, abdominal pains, muscle aches, lymphadenopathy on right side of neck, arm pits and groin, and now what feels like proctitis and IBD/ulcerative colitis symptoms. The list keeps multiplying for me. Does ANYONE else experience these symptoms?
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.
Thanks for sharing abaade. Are there other MEN out there who all of a sudden have autoimmune disease conditions from the onset of the covid pandemic? Getting all these symptoms out there and talking about them more frequently will help make long covid a respectively legitimate health issue and not some stigma or conspiracy. This is REAL
I've been participating in their study and signed up for more. So far, it's more about symptoms than treatment but I know they're trying to make that change.
ME/CFS has very specific criteria. I meet the criteria, but the docs don't seem to want to put it down. I'm sure there's a reason but don't know what that reason could be.
If you search Justin Tuggle in the portal within the Covid discussion group, you can find my other posts which give more information on symptoms, duration, recovery, plants used in treatments, etc.
The best review I have found on Sars CoV-2, Covid, and Long Covid.

Interesting Cropdoc. I find it also highly suspicious that “long covid” is redacted in with its association with the potential for long vax injury as the real culprit. Not everyone is vaxed but there is TON of medical research indicating the exacerbation of these symptoms long after vaccination. When will the coverup of the damage from the vaccines end?
I’m trying to understand SARS2 as it relates to covid. Is it the same thing? My dad tested positive for SARS2 last week with lab test. I took him to his primary due to cough that sounded like pneumonia (it wasn’t). He got it from my mom, who is now almost recovered. She tested negative yesterday on at home test. I have no symptoms (except for my normal post Covid symptoms) and have tested negative twice last week. My dad is 86.
SARS stand for sudden acute respiratory syndrome…its the more severe form of the covid -19 virus which attacks the respiratory/pulmonary tissues inside the lungs and can also cause organ failure in severe cases. Not everyone will experience this severe reaction/infection.
Yes! I get leg cramps, burning, twitching, etc...I had COVID in 7/20 and have long COVID. Do you have a Post-COVID clinic nearby?
Sars CoV-2 is the 2nd Sars corona virus which causes Covid 19 and for some. Long Covid. SARS was the first which had a much higher death rate (over 10%) and only occured in China. MERS was another corona virus very close to SARS and Sars CoV-2 which only occured in the Middle East. Together, these are like triplets of the Corona Virus Family. MERS also had a high desth rate over 10%.
The names follow this scientific method: a pathogen (a virus or bacteria or fungus most of the time) causes a "disease" or syndrome. In this case, Sars CoV-2, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2, causes the named disease "COVID-19".
One is infected by the virus and the symptoms caused are the diease which is called COVID-19. The after effects of the damage from the virus to the body are what causes Long Covid.
You should take your dad to the ER. He may need steriods to reduce inflamation in his lungs, antibiotics such as a ZPack to prevent pneumonia, and fluids to prevent dehydration which is a major issue with older people.
His primary said his lungs were clear and he didn’t have a fever. In fact he never had a fever since he started coughing.. He never stopped eating or drinking. His oxygen saturation was normal, as was blood pressure. She said if he got worse go to the ER. He’s up and doing things around the house, talking on the phone, word puzzles, etc. It was too late to start Plaxlovid.
I’m out of town this weekend, but he and my mom know to call 911 if necessary.
