Hi,
Sorry to hear about all the different health challenges. I also right after Covid shot I had allergic reactions & myocardial infarction & then started having multiple health issues but no one was able to diagnose the issues. I finally found a GP that took the correct tests & was diagnosed with Lupus, Hashimotos then later fibromyalgia and the worst nightmare one polyneuropathy .
I'm on hydroxycloriquone, steroids, cymbalta 60mgs and lyrica 300mg daily . Helps take the edge off the symptoms but sometimes the medication doesn't work and now I have extreme brain fog or who knows what else? Sometimes I'm at a loss for words mid sentence forgot my best friends name. Rheumatologist suggested I see neurologist but prior to seeing rheumatologist I was seeing neurologist and he told me he couldn't help me anymore & see someone else. So many doctors and no one is able to help me. I feel useless , I was so energetic and was able to accomplish so much . Now work is becoming challenging as well . Not sure what I will do next ??

After my Covid vaccine, I too suffered a STEMI and had 5 cardiac stents placed. I also developed kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis (with possible lupus and Sjogrens). My ANA is speckled and the titer is 1:160. I also have elevated Sjogrens B labs. I can’t seem to get a straight answer from my rheumatologist except for the RA. I had a rheumatoid factor of 216 and symptoms. On hydroxychloroquin with limited improvement at times. Sick of it all to be honest.

Hi,
I was in a similar situation to yours and and I have pretty much the same diagnosis.
I feel a little better since I started treatment with hydroxychloroquine, gabapentin, and esomeprazole. At first, I was on cortisone and prednisone.
I did a lot of physical therapy, TENS, magnetotherapy, and lymphatic drainage.
