In addition to the wonderful suggestions from @covidstinks2023, anything you can do to reduce stress and inflammation is critical. Check the best diets to follow to reduce inflammation and autoimmune triggers. Good sleep, gentle exercise, relaxation and meditation, mental health support for chronic pain, supplements that support your health/energy levels, plan your schedule around your energy levels (do most important things when you have the most energy and prioritize your daily “to do” list), let others know when you need help (many don’t understand our suffering because it is invisible to them but felt internally by us), etc. Make sure to advocate for yourself and don’t let others dismiss you and your symptoms as being “only in your head” and due to being female and blaming everything on hormones or anxiety/depression. Research all you can on your conditions on credible sites (like Mayo Clinis and Cleveland Clinic) and get updated information. Did you have COVID or the vaccines? Have you been getting worse over time?

Thank you very much for your response! I actually had Covid 4 times and each time was terrible. I did not get the vaccines. I have always been somewhat immunocompromised but didn’t think the risks were worth it as I have had bad reactions to the Flu vaccine and others as well.

I have been taking Vitamin B12 and magnesium supplements but I personally have not had any improvement in my symptoms even though everyone I know swears by it🫠

Cutting sugar and gluten both are my next steps at this point but I’m not sure how to go about identifying the ingredients and also what to replace them with for certain staple foods.
