@truwomandi I am a believe that it is all about the immune system and inflammation. I did not get the vaccine. I have never gotten a flu shot, and I have never had the flu. I have been exposed to the flu though. This is a new virus, as you know. This virus, our bodies do not know how to fight. In fact, I believe it tricks our immune systems into fighting our immune system. That sounds crazy, but I have been reading about this since I got nailed in June of 2022. I had the virus in Jan. of 2022 and then in March 2022. So, I went 3 months and I was good...then I was smacked down one morning when I woke up. It has never left. Treating the symptoms is the only thing I have found that helps. I also fast for a day or two and that seems to help some of the symptoms. If you can exercise, build muscle, without the post-exertion malaise or fatigue, do it. I really try to keep myself living one day at a time. I do what I feel like that day...I also pay for it the next. Have you had your legs checked? Pulse in your ankles? Is it joint pain? Can you do leg exercises and not have symptoms? Just curious. Thank you for posting.

@diverdown1 I have knee pain attributed to arthritis (?) and I have had ankles checked. I think every test known to man until one doc said he thought it was LC. That is the first thing that made sense but it is depressing if there is nothing that can be done. yes, I can do exercises but only for a very short time, I have decided that it is useless going to doctors so I will have to do the best I can for myself, I am a bit (haha) stubborn so that will probably work more than anything, I plan to take some clogging lessons using my walker for support. No use sitting here letting my muscles wither further. Thanks so much for your response
