Why are my symptoms returning?

Posted by klehker @klehker, 5 days ago

I've had Long Covid since fall 2023: mainly sleep disruption, extreme fatigue, palpitations, aches, chills, tingling, brain fog, abdominal distress. I have gradually but steadily improved except for a period after another Covid bout. Most of my symptoms have mostly resolved, except lingering fatigue and weakness. About 2 weeks ago, ALL of my symptoms returned. It's very disconcerting, and I'm trying to figure out why. I thought I'd simply been too active, but that usually just wears me out, and I really wasn't that active. Maybe I had Covid again and didn't know it? I had another Covid vaccination the week before my symptoms resumed, hate to think that could be causing it, never had a problem with vaccines before. Anybody else experiencing this? Any ideas? Thanks.

I also have had reoccurrence of original symptoms after a vaccination. Luckily they calmed down after about a week. Has anyone experienced getting their COVID symptoms hyped up after having another type of virus? I recently had a cold. A week after I recovered from the cold, all my original long COVID symptoms returned -chronic fatigue, stomach issues, headache, lightheaded, brain fog. I’m still dealing with these issues and hoping they will calm down again soon.

Same thing happened to me. In 2023 I got Covid and then long Covid got a vaccination four months into it and then I felt worse for a while then got better than felt worse. Last year I was starting to turn the table got more strength so I thought well this is a good time to get the vaccine after I did I started feeling worse. Cannotprove one way or the other whether the vaccines made me worse but I believe it did. On the whole vaccines are very good but for some individuals maybe not so much. I have seen conflicting studies saying that many improved after getting a vaccine and then other studies pointing to prolong Long Covid symptoms after vaccination. So I don't know but I'll probably stay away from any more vaccines for Covid that is.

I'm, sorry you are having the flare ups you are having. we try different things to mitigate the flare ups. I don't get vaccines because I have an extremely sensitive system. But I have had long covid now for 15 months. I thought I could beat it about 2 months ago. then the dizziness came back, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and many other symptoms. So, I go back to pacing, it's annoying to accept that I have to do that, but I don't think pushing myself, or thinking, now it's over is working for me. As much as I hate to admit it, pacing makes sense, deep breathing, and accepting this is for now, my reality, You are the first person I have admitted this too. I am a " push through it" person. I had a mold exposure, in 2004, really sick, pushed through it, got much better. I can't push through this, the less I push the better I do. It's not a defeat, it's an acceptance. Love to all that are just trying to figure this out 🙂
