Hello. I am Anne living in CA. I have very similar symptoms you have. I had a bad covid in March 2023 followed by pneumonia and other respiratory problems. Since then my body is never the same. Didn’t take Paxlovir as I missed the 5 day window.
I had many issues but the main problems are hip pain, other random joint pain and extreme fatigue. I got a cortisone shot but it didn’t give me much relief. No doctors believe what I report. I used to hike and run but I save my energy only for work. I can’t use stairs and take Motrin 3 times a day. I can tell I am getting worse but no treatment or help. I stopped telling ppl or doctors about issues because they don’t relate what I say. I kinda get it too. I feel disabled and depressed but I am just doing my best daily.
I joined this group just to reach out and hear ppl who are dealing with the same issues after COVID. I am praying this horrible after effects go away soon and we all get better at the end.
Anne

I am the same. Have always been active, did Pilates and Yoga, and now it is an effort. Constant aching in my lower back and hard to touch my toes, which used to be so easy. I also experience a lot of tingling throughout my body. Wake up not feeling rested. Seems like everyday is a push to get through. I also hope everyone suffering Long COVID finds their way back to the before! I don’t say much either to people as I think one has to experience to understand. And it is so frustrating as I have gone to so many doctors and had so many tests and nothing shows up. But I know what I am experiencing is real.
