Multiple Strange and New symptoms after Covid
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Apr 1 5:53pm | Replies (54)Comment receiving replies
Hi..I have had Covid which has turned my life upside down. When I got Covid on December 19, 2021 I wound up getting severe Ulcerative Colitis which I was in a flare for over two years which required doctors visits , Colonoscopies, Medication and a lot of time off from work. The medication Budesonide made things worse, I stopped taking it a year ago. I had many side effects and it made me sicker. I now was diagnosed with POTS/ Orthostatic Hypotension. I fainted in my driveway Sunday and fell face forward and fractured my nose in two places, with my angel watching out for me no other broken bones, this could have been much worse and the doctor at the hospital said I was lucky. I have had many symptoms and problems since Covid, the fatigue is unreal, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, GI and Ulcerative Colitis and many more. You can write me anytime. I would love to hear from you and others regarding this condition we can not control. Sincerely..Kitty2..with prayers for you to return to good health.

What horrific symptoms that have resulted in more tsuris - Yiddish for “troubles” bc it is the only word that fit for me.
My symptoms are different and continuing since late March 2023 when I got COVID and after one dose was taken off paxlovid bc of reaction.*
My PCP’s practice has NO ONE among multiple docs even following the issues - I use google alerts for long COVID which has lead to this group and a ton of scholarly and other articles. It should be a SOP for all general medicine docs to follow.
The exhaustion that I wasn’t feeling at first was added. It began after the latest CDC-advised 65+ addl vax. I feel fortunate that brain fog hasn’t been an issue or I couldn’t work.
*Paxlovid reaction: my heart raced, I felt as if adrenaline was coursing through me, & until it seemed to get through my system, I couldn’t sleep for a full 24 hours when my body craved rest from feeling awful.
