Reoccuring symptoms: Is this part of long haul COVID?

Posted by olive007 @olive007, Mar 26 10:51am

loss of taste and smell, brain fog, aching bones, stomach issues and fatigue. Is this part of long haul COVID? I had pneumonia wasn't hospitalized, remained at home. Now I have problems with my heart, blood pressure is higher than normal. Brain fog, where I forget instantly. Not sure if that is age related? Or post COVID. I have trouble sleeping need medication. Before COVID I was pretty healthy and fit! Now I struggle! Is anyone else going through this? Sorry, forgot to mention mouth sores, dizzyness and constant dehydration. See brain fog. I find I have to write what ever I'm doing that day on everything so I don't forget! I'm taking prescription meds and vitamin c, vitamin B12 for dizzy spells , omega 3 cod liver oil, for bone aches and painkillers daily. Also, I sleep on a heat mat. I'm 56 feel like 80 or 90! Any other remedies please let me know?

What does your doctor say? Have you been checked for a fungal infection? Mine are more like ulcerations. Have you seen an ENT?

Mine turn into ulceration. My mouth will get full.of them, they bleed. I was hospital for 3 weeks with this because I could not eat and was tube fed . Also was in ICU and had to have transfusions. Saw many, many different doctors.
My doctors, I have several , think.it is an auto immune disease. Also have long Covid.

Good grief. Are they better now? Do the doctors think the AI condition is related to LC or was it pre-existing?

Mouth sores can be a sign of Lupus. Please see a Rheumatologists and get the proper bloodwork done. This has got to be so very painful.

Yes, COVID can throw you into an autoimmune disease.

Blessings & Prayers.....

Have you had your blood checked for inflammation markers? Post-Covid I developed PMR and Prednisone really helped releive the aches/pains and helped me sleep better so less "foggy". Hope maybe a Rhumatologist can help with the aches. Good luck!

Sounds like thrush, a yeast/fungal infection. If you take a lot of antibiotics, you can get that. Nystatin is the medication to clear it up.
