Hello everyone. I have had Covid for 3 years and change - so that "flu" does like to hang around. I am one of those Long Haul Covid people. I have several ongoing illnesses, conditions (?) I don't even know what to call them, chronic fatigue is one of them. I am not just tired like I need a nap, it;s in my muscles, my joints my skin, my brain, I can't think kind of tired. I was never a sick child or adult, no asthma, didn't get colds or flu's, still have my tonsils, I was an outdoor kid, played sports, all of that stuff. Now I am a friggen mess. But anyways. I had some labs last week or so and I tested a very low in iron at anemic levels. They want to run a few more labs to check a few other levels more in depth. Nothing has really changed for me in the last few months that I can remember - don't laugh - this memory deficit is a challenge. My hair is falling out. That is pretty big! Yea, it's a new thing it is falling out. Falling out, not breaking off, or a strand here or there, falling out, in the shower and the brush, clumps. I have really bad headaches. They used to be really bad. They put me on some medication that really helped,a nd I am still on it but the headaches are back. My eyes hurt. I guess that sounds pretty shitty when I put it all down in writing. The doc the other day anxiety causes all that - you are JUST anxious.... Nope, I am aware, I know I am not "just anxious" ... what an ass! so frustrating
I hope your husband finds his a matter of an added switch in his diet a bit or get to the bottom of his anemia woows and nothing serious. Stay well my friends & Let good health find its way back to us all!

Doctors will not admit or do much here is some suggestions,you need liquid iron, it absorbs slowly in the stomach but it will work, bring you out of that fog and fatigue. Take the liquid with EmergenC. The hair is affected being anemic , Natures Bounty Hair skin and nails Gummies helps take two morning and at night. I did not get Covid, I got the Covid bivalent m RNA vaccine and it made my blood dangerously abmormal where I needed a blood transfusion. Since I was a very healthy with no underlying conditions before the vaccine, I am very lucky to be alive.
