I completely agree! It so easy for some people to say things like that who are not going through it. And as far as doctors, I’m getting to the point of not even try to get answers. I just don’t understand if I’m telling them, I didn’t have ANY of these symptoms prior to having Covid, what is so hard for them to believe?? That includes people who don’t believe either. So I just made up these symptoms because what, I’m bored? Countless trips to doctors, E.R, money spent is because I have nothing else better to do? And people who know us should see there is change in us, we where working, active, full of zest, actually living life and now some of us barely leave our homes.
There is so much in this world and especially in the medical world that has yet to be discovered and explained, people (including doctors) should humble themselves and think about all the things I mentioned above, that something is wrong! And exactly what you said, trade places with me, experience what I am, and on top of that, no one believes you, how would you cope? What would you do?
But here WE BELIEVE you, we hear you, we understand you and will listen!
I pray you get to that light at the end of the tunnel! I send you hugs and healing energy 🫶🏼

Thanks you and I send the same hopes for healing to you.

Each word I read I can feel the pain. I am so with you. I cry all the time wanting to be understood. I want someone (Drs., family, friends a business associates from things monetarily I have to take care of) to believe what I am saying instead of telling me it’s in my head or because I gained weight. I gained weight because I have to energy to exercise and even walking 30 feet makes me so short of breath, painful legs, back and hips that I want to (and have), thrown up and collapse onto a chair or bed. I will sweat and get chest pains at times with it too. I love these people, but I agree, give them a week as we are and see if they don’t run and beg us to stop the torture!!
