To @tatjohnsHope you do not take my comment negatively. I have long covid documented by 2 long covid clinic since nov. 2023. I have lost 55#'s much of it due to muscle atrophy. Have P.E.M. of course plus an atrophied pancreas now treated by digestive enzymes. My long covid doctor, whom i trust greatly states she has never seen, in 4 years such muscle atrophy. She is referring me to a neurologist. I lift weights by not nearly with the results prior to covid. I am glad to find someone with my particular muscle atrophy problem. giving me more hope I can fight it more successfully. hope you doing better @tatjohns.

@catfishgrazis44 the muscle atrophy is progressing, and I am not able to build muscle at all with weight training. Just when I think I can't lose more muscle, I do. I've tried everything, including physical therapy. I also have brain fog and have developed sleep apnea and asthma after the covid infection 2.5 years ago. I don't know how this happened, but I have mitochondrial dysfunction from the virus, it somehow has altered my body at a cellular level. It is devastating, I am so depressed.
