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!
