What’s wrong with me?

I agree. I know that this has been traumatizing for me and well, the world right now is pretty traumatizing. I also suggest looking up Polyvagal theory. Cold showers can also help as well as grounding oneself. Concentrating on where your feet are or if your driving, your foot on the gas. Trying to stay present. I would check with your doctor, though, to rule out any physical issues that they can test. I am so sorry. Hang in there.

Thanks. I am already using a grounding pad. Seems to help with my circulation cause my fingers don't get cold anymore when I'm using it. That has to be a good thing. As far as doctors go, my GP has been pretty useless, except for a prescription for the constant pain, which is appreciated. He knows very little about post-covid stuff, and doesn't seem interested in learning. I try to keep reminding myself that long covid didn't exist when he was in med school, but then I start thinking: Dang, you CAN read, can't you? Good luck with everything, my friend. And if you haven't started using Pub Med searches, I recommend it. I have learned a ton in the last 18 months. Knowledge is power (and healing, I hope)
