Anyone have long haul covid that affected their stomach and back?

Posted by fayda @fayda, Mar 15 6:49pm

Anyone have long haul covid that affected their stomach and back ? I had Covid October 15, 2024 my symptoms never subsided until December 2024 . I had body aches and stomach issues where I could barely eat. So in December most of my issues went into remission except for lower back pain . Then on March 4, 2025 my stomach issues came back with a vengeance, worst than the first time . It is so hard for me to eat and when I do it is so painful . Has anyone else experienced these kinds of symptoms?

I too was an avid exerciser, a pleasure stolen by COVID. I can now manage up to 10 minutes at a time down from 55 to 60 minutes pre covid. I walk in my house up to 10 minutes at a time, I rest and an hour or 2 later I get up and do another 7 to 10 until I total 40 minutes a day 6 days a week. I'm not getting real cardio but I am burning some of the calories. So far I've been able to minimize the weight gain. Perhaps you can try multiple sessions a day to burn calories.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for describing the specifics of your exercise routine. I have Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) and am working on finding the best approach to Pacing for me. I’ll apply what you’ve shared with us.
