Anyone else experience Weight Gain with long COVID?

Still dealing with weight gain, I’m not sure if it’s from the Pfizer or getting Covid in 2022. As of today I have gained over 40 pounds and it continues. I have tried every diet on the planet and thousands worth of supplements and herbs, regular exercise, fasting, and I’m still no further than where I started. Working out did stop the weight gain, but I couldn’t lose it. A vegetarian diet also helped, but again I would lose 7-10 pounds and then it would come back. I’m experiencing periodic swelling, excessive water weight gain, that comes and goes. Heart palpitations, extreme fatigue, joint issues, and may be potentially pre diabetic. I had perfect health before COVID. Every one of my friends and family members who took Pfizer is now experiencing the same problems. It’s been almost 3 years since Covid, 4 and a half since the shot, and there doesn’t seem to be an end to this in sight. I refuse to take prescriptions.

No doubt the COVID since the rest of us seem to have all the symptoms too. I had COVID 6 times and I had the Moderna shots and the booster. The booster made my lymph glands in my armpits swell and hurt and could hardly have shirt touching them. No more shots for me but all the other symptoms I am sure are from the COVID/ long COVID. Weight gain,water retention, tinnitus, joint pain,bladder issues, cough off and on especially when laughing, exercise intolerance,weakness,shortness of breath. Ugh. Probably more I left out of do not even know about yet!

I hear you...I am 4 years post COVID and have very similar symptoms. Diagnosed so far with Psoriatic arthritis and scleroderma. Currently on antiviral and celebrex and my energy is inching up after the first three weeks. Cannot do keto diet since COVID as my histamine is too high to at much meat. I am hopeful that the antiviral will help and give me enough relief to workout again.
