I feel like I’m slowly dying and nobody is helping

@suecedar1028 I caught covid in spring of 2024 and these symptoms stayed and got worse: fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, brain fog, some muscle/joint pain, and GI tract symptoms. I used to hike, backpack, run, and lift weights. Now I mostly stay home and rest. My house is dirty and the yards need help. I can cook simple meals but it's a struggle to do things. "Are you still tired?" and "You look ok" are common comments from friends. I've started to avoid socializing because I'm tired of people looking at me cross-eyed.
In the past two weeks, I've been taking tributyrin and various prebiotics every day, and my gut symptoms like diarrhea have gone away. I'm hoping that the immune system might heal some with these new supplements. I have tons of supplements, which mostly don't do anything.

@juniper10 Hi, I'm so glad that I've discovered this forum. I too am tired of others not understanding what I'm going through. I was also very physically fit and active pre-covid and the dreaded covid vaccines and now I have to hesitate every day before even leaving the house to just run a simple errand! I rarely socialize anymore and I was always on the go before being diagnoised with long haul covid /vaccine injury, making plans to get together with friends and often hosting. Now, well I'm always exhausted and in my case I have very severe joint pain! Everything seemed to turn upside down for me very suddenly with the 2nd booster in 2022 and so did high BP which is something I had never had. If anything my BP was normally a bit on the lower side.
Prior to all of this I was an advanced yoga student 🧘♂️and after retiring in 2022. I was pretty much in a yoga studio or hiking each and every day.
This has significantly affected my quality of life! 🙁 I've been doing the prebiotics as well as way to many supplements to count! I am also on a long course of antibiotics for positive symptoms of Lyme disease which Drs feel could have been reactivated after possibly laying dormant in me for years. It's all much to much.
I'd be very curious to see if anyone else has encounted something similar? It's so upsetting as anyone going through this madness knows! Sue @suecedar1028
