Since LC I've had periods of one or more canker sores in my mouth all the time and while it's not a rash I've found a product called Propolis that limits the severity and duration of them. My symptoms come and go also - right now I'm struggling to follow conversations and have muscle pain. Sitting at home is bad for my mental health so I smile and nod a lot when with people! My heart goes out to you

Thanks, @cpivyca. I guess what I call a 'rash' is more like little canker sores that yes, come and go tho' are mostly present and have been now for 2 years. Painful when they are 'full blown'; tolerable when not.

I'll look into Propolis. Thank you.

I work in a home office and have days when just getting dressed and to my desk by noon is a big deal. I try to schedule no Zoom meetings or other things before then. THIS from someone who until my 70s loved early mornings - would be up and doing by 7 - fully showered and dressed. This noon thing is annoying but it just takes me forever to even get the energy (mental and physical) to do so. Yes, muscle pain too. I was doing a great job of tracking symptoms daily and then THAT got to be too much of a task.

My heart goes to you too. We are like a secret society, aren't we? Each with different symptoms, sharing some (which is a gift of this site to know from others), and managing responses to those who say "I got COVID and I'm fine - what's wrong with you?" or how others tell us we look great as noted by others and we try to explain and they don't want to acknowledge it's real.

One day, they will know. I hope we manage until then and are the first helped.
