Anyone else experience Weight Gain with long COVID?
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?

@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.

1 Reaction@www3 same problem here post Covid six years. I have gained at least 40 pounds and have extreme difficulty losing it. I have tried keto often on and can lose a pound or two but then plateau. I have been able to lose 12 pounds so far but very slowly. I still have intermittent breathlessness, pounding heartbeat, fatigue, and exercise malaise so getting the weight off has been extremely difficult.

3 Reactions@acfilms Just FYI- I have long covid and got 3 vaccines.. I was literally on line to get the first one the second it was available. I had 2 boosters after that, and after a bout with Covid (in between the 1st and 2nd booster) most of my symptoms started, after the second booster they went into overdrive..I believe the vaccines saved many lives. I also believe because of the way they rushed the production and introduction of the vaccines onto the public, many people, myself included were in some ways harmed by the vaccines. They called it "operation warp speed".. who knows what they skipped over to get the shots done. I have no regrets, I believe I made the best decision possible at the time, however I also believe I am left worse after that 3rd shot. There does not seem to be a right for everyone or wrong for everyone scenario with this. It was a brand new virus and vaccine and no one could have known all the risks.
