I am so sorry to hear this and you are not alone. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. How interesting you mention your follicles hurting. I don't have this but I was watching a video from one of my favorite dermatologists, Dr. Andrea Suarez, about covid hair loss and she mentions scalp pain and exactly what causes this. This site doesn't allow me to post a link on here but you can look up her YouTube channel and look for the Covid Hair Loss Explained video.
How did the virus affect your skin? I've never had acne in my life but have struggled with acne around my jawline since contracting Covid.

Thankyou for telling me about the video.I will watch.I don't have acne,but my skin is so dry it is literally like a 100 year old person.Every specialists I meet with mentions something about it.I went from a healthy 40 year old that walked almost 8 miles a day to pretty much disabled.I worked in healthcare and had to leave my job.I have really bizarre symptoms.I lost all strength in my trunk of my body especially diaphram and sternum,upper arms,legs and pelvis.Extremely dry painful eyes and weakness in my facial muscles which causes slow chewing,swallowing,talking and facial expressions.I had anemia for years and I believe covid got me and attacked my entire body including my central nervous system.Apparently covid attacks the vagus nerve which controls so many functions in the body.A doctor is trying to get me into NIH because the specialists I have seen can't find much.I wish they could find something to help with the hair growth.I will probably have to end up getting a wig or something.I don't even look like the same person I was 2 years ago.It is sad
