Anyone else experience Weight Gain with long COVID?

Posted by RMS @rinadbq, Oct 8, 2021

I have had ~30 pound weight gain since November 2020 when I initially had COVID. It seems disproportionate to my calorie intake. Any one else with this?

I also could not get rid of the weight I gained during the time I could hardly move with Long COVID but am able to walk about 2/3 of a mile now so at least no gaining any more. I have been experimenting with Lysine to help inhibit my histamine and clear my itchy skin...and my belly is noticeably shrinking. I have not gotten on the scale but it does seem to minimize visceral fat for me.

@vostie a DAO enzyme before every meal also helps with the hystamine response! Am gonna try your lysine trick.

Wow, for years my doctors have been treating me like I was the problem. Now that I'm reading everyone's posts with exactly my probs, I see that the one COVID VAX and three times I had Covid did a number on my body. But especially after the vax. Night and day, two different people. I'm going to read all of your posts to see if there are any suggestions. I hate the brain fog, the muscle loss, the out of nowhere fatigue in my work days that sends me crawling to bed, the sensitivity to caffeine and sugar, the overnight 30 pound weight gain, the fluctuating and climbing Hemacrotit and Hemaglobin, overnight I got a condition called Epischleritis in my eyes and when I told my opthamoligist, he said that there was no certainty it was from the vax. Well I'm certain. And the place where the vaccine was shot into my arm has had a constant scab since 2021. 5 years! Iron supplements have truly helped some of it, especially the brain fog, as have DAO enzymes for my f'ed up digestion/elimination. But hearing that so many people got this after covid, and to still be villified by the general public for stating my case about my health, as if to criticize the vax is either Maga... is pure cultish insanity. My dad who was pretty healthy with a slight murmur dropped dead from being brainwashed like that and getting every covid vax and booster.
