question re: vaccine and treatments for debilitating fatigue

Posted by mama.aloha @mamaaloha, Sep 19 9:36pm

Hi all,

I tried looking back in the previous discussions but didn't quite find what I was looking for. I have two questions:

(1) For those of you who had debilitating fatigue after COVID vaccine...how long did it last?

(2) For significant fatigue, were there any treatments that you found to be helpful in lessening your fatigue symptoms?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

On the well-established theory that micro clots in the blood are the primary source of covid-related fatigue, I took the blood thinner Plavix (75 mg. daily) and the supplement Nattokinase (4000 units daily). My fatigue all but disappeared, but then returned after several months. You might try the same protocol and see if you have luck.

Thank you for your Comment on micro-clots in the blood as a possible source of LC fatigue. It led me to read a variety of articles about that hypothesis — scientific, medical, and from general periodicals. I’ll monitor progress on further testing of this hypothesis.

From reading the articles, my sense is that people who want to try Plavix or Nattokinase should consult with their healthcare provider first, because of potential drug interactions and hazardous side effects.

The best to you as you jump through their hoops. I hope all goes well. Taking 7 months seems extremely long, but not, unfortunately, unheard of.

They said that is a bit above average right now. Still waiting for lawyer, no response today.

You must consult with your health provider. Plavix is a blood thinner available by Rx only.

Amen to that!!! I think if you can prove you have it, disability should be approved as well. This is not self inflicted. I worked since I was 13. Now it’s been 12 months with no pay (8 since I applied). Went from 12 hours a day to 5 hours a day to 15 hours a week to 0. I tried. Over 3 1/2 years. Still waiting on answer.

Yes, it was recommended to me to never attempt SSDI application without an attorney (if you want to save yourself a couple years.) They are paid in back end by a % of your backpay proceeds.

I got payment for disability insurance (non governmental) only after hiring my attorney. We were scheduled to appear in Federal Court the following day in a city 120 miles and one mountain pass away when they settled in my favor.

I did my application through a big firm that is all they do. I had others tell me the same before I applied. Crossing fingers. Filled in 17 pages they just sent to me after almost 8 months. I know they love to turn you down but really, I need assistance with a few of my own personal living issues, besides going out and helping others working. Not much help nowadays.

I like the old R&R. A cocktail by the pool. Much nicer.

Yes to the fatigue getting worse after vaccination. Did you see the two posts I left for fatigue? I talks about Pacing. It helps some but not a cure, at least for me. Some days you have no choice to be able to Pace. Then you crash. I’m in a crash right now again. Hurts horribly and slept 13 hours today and 12 yesterday. I slept 18 the other day. I try to Al least get up and use bathroom a few times to move. It hurts but I know I can get clots. I don’t even roll anymore in a crash state. I just thought of that. I guess that’s really bad for clotting. Dang.

Yes, but first things first. I’d like to enjoy that cocktail without falling into the lounger for a crushing fatigue pass out coma…
