COVID 2020 has changed my life so much I don't think I'll ever get it back...it took my energy and desire to do anything. I sweat profusely..... Brain fog.....dizziness.....balance issues. It didn't initially kill me but is it slowly ? I also believe I'm depressed.......

It’s so sad to hear that you are still suffering from this disease, I was so shocked to hear how very sick people are and still are with so little help available. I’ve read that some people are getting better on their own but no one’s ever quite the same, I mentioned that I had covid in 2022 and it left me with excessive sweating and rapid heartbeats, I was eventually referred to a cardiologist who ran tests on me and later said that my heart was fine but it beat too fast. I have asthma so I couldn’t take beta blockers because it affects the asthma, I was blessed that it calmed down after two years but I still don’t feel like myself anymore. There’s more research needed to get to know what can be done to help people like you, I hope that you will get better soon with proper help, please stay strong and try not to give up because it will get better, I will pray for you, better days ahead, amen.

You'll get it back...Dr Paul Anderson is your BEST person to go to on Youtube.He's the real thing.Go on there and check out his covid blogs.I KNOW he can help you.God Bless.

I went into a depression hole as well. I am going on 3 years with this. I have taken antidepressants in the past and they helped some for depression, but I found that running, weights and walking helped more. When I got sick, that stopped, obviously, because I felt like I was dying. I still am unable to do that due to the malaise and fatigue. If I do feel like walking or exerting energy, I pay for it the next morning. I feel poisoned. That is the post exertion malaise. Only way I know to describe it to those that do not experience it. I was hopeless. I talked to my shrink and I agreed to take Cymbalta (duloxetine). I started and remain on 30 mg, which is the lowest dose. It helped get me out of the hole. It is an SNRI (serotonin norepeneprhine reuptake inhibitor. So (theoretically) it binds to the serotonin and norepenephrine receptors, blocking them which causes the brain to produce more serotonin and norepehephrine. Both are meant to help with good feelings and mood. The norepenephrine helps with energy. Some people can't take SNRI's due to medical issues, but I would inquire with a psychiatrist or even your regular doctor about what might work best. Hang in there.

Another COVID 2020 here...Have you tried a trial of Low Dose Naltrexone? I have had my symptoms drop by 50% and have more energy. I started at 1mg per day and it initially made me to tired I had to sleep but then changed over to insomnia after two weeks...so now I take it in the morning. Four month later I have worked up to 3 mg per day and am getting ready to try taking it twice a day for a total of 4.5 mg. I have it formulated into a liquid at a compounding pharmacy so I can easily change the dose per day. Naltrexone blocks the production of endorphins for a few hours and then your body produces extra endorphins which gives me a burst of energy. It also flushes out my hyper inflammation and gives me pain reduction. I do have more vivid dreams but no other side effects.
