Thanks, @celia16 . If willing, how long did you have the skin rashes? And on what part/s of your body? Did anything help? Did they totally go away? Did the rash only happen once and did it go away on its own?

I had an echocardiogram yesterday and, as the cardiologist wrote, my heart is NORMAL. (Yes, in all caps!) So still no explanation for symptoms that jibe with what I have, one doctor soooo far off.

It's odd, perhaps, to "wish" the symptoms were from something identifiable. I have still so many and they do not appear to be disappearing. I too hope one day....

Thanks again.
JE

Ref. the rashes. Most of them appeared right after covid did. I already had psoriasis, but they were not psoriasis. They were mainly on my arms and legs. Usually, one limb at a time. Sometimes it itched and was very red. Other times it looked like a big bruise that appeared abruptly. And, I don’t bruise easy. I also got covid toe twice with an oval plum colored spot on my big toe. I had no trauma to the toe. It didn’t hurt at all. I didn’t have swelling like you did, All of that left after about 10 months. I can’t be sure it was due to covid. It’s my belief though.

My ENT diagnosed my post covid syndrome due to smell/taste disorder. I also had Vitamin B12 deficiency that I continue to treat. I also had nasal congestion, hair loss, insomnia and some nerve/sensation issues. Most have improved. I would say it’s difficult to know the cause of my ailments. I consider it could be anxiety, post covid, vitamin deficiency or something else. I just try to use good nutrition, exercise and treat the symptoms. It can be frustrating. I read some people are seeking treatment at post covid treatment centers.
