Hi Trish?,
The way you just described how this all came down and how you are feeling, sounds to me exactly like Long Covid. Of course, I am not saying to not go to a Dr and get diagnosed BUT as a lot of us here experience, it’s hard to find one educated enough in LC to say that. At first they were all too scared to use the words or believe that it’s real. My own son was even one to think of it just like a flu that goes away. What area are you in? There are some other facilities and trials going on right now. I too have been to ER I Think 3 times and say they can’t find anything. Now I just had oxygen delivered and can’t work (I loved to work!) and my pain and fatigue make me sometimes not to want to even be here. Yes, it has been worse each month. I had Covid 5 or 6 times. 2020,21, 22, think 23 but not tested and twice in 24. Each making original symptoms worse and adding new ones. Here is some literature you might wish to read. I’m Kelly, BTW. Enjoy chatting. Can’t get out like I used to and really, my fiancé is great at helping me but he really doesn’t understand it. I am not as fun anymore. He makes statement like “when you are better, we can go here”. I’m afraid that may never happen. The “3 MONTHS” of long haulers has now turned into 4 plus years of LC. I don’t see an end in site for this, especially since I keep getting worse!!!

HI Kelly!
Im in North Georgia. I put a request in today for the Mayo clinic. I don't have alot of faith in the doctors here in GA, they are not the best nor do they want to address anything that has to do with COVID. My son is a hyperbaric tech and I've done some time in the chamber that helped but crap its so expensive. There is good research on it helping though. I'm hoping to get back in soon. I worry about being able to keep doing my job too I dont know what else I'll do with myself if I cant be a therapist anymore but it is so exhausting everyday.
I have found that when I'm near the ocean I feel better, we went to Jeckyl Island last month and within 24 hours I could breathe and I actually rode a bike, got back to N.GA and I was back to feeling like crap the next day and have not gotten better since just worse so I often wonder if there is also something environmental triggering this. Back in 2022 we thought it was
Breast Implant Illness and I had my implants removed, that did not help for very long. I'm convinced this is long COVID and it'll only progress as time goes on 🙁
