My mom was fully vaccinated with Moderna March 2021. She contracted covid May 24, 2021. Was rough for about 2 weeks but life went back to normal. She also tested negative every week thereafter…. She then contracted covid again August 18, 2021. 86 days or 2months 25 days apart. she tested positive the second covid infection for 13 days straight. She has been negative but this round of covid has been debilitating. She still has yet to return to work & she is going crazy not being able to be there and living out her life mission as director of an ALF for adults with mental disabilities/mentally challenged. We have tried so many different treatments and nothing has worked. She sleeps 12+ hours with a 2-4 hour nap in the afternoon. My mom is a go to bed around 8-9pm and up coffee made 5am and ready to go- type personality… Now She can’t stay awake and has a long list of symptoms that are still present to this day. She is my best friend and when she struggles & hurting I feel her pain too… I’ve spent hours and hours researching to try and discover treatments that are working for others similar to her…Just know they are getting closer and you will make i through this incredibly challenging time.

There is a supplement that my wife got me, for my last bout with Covid that I found very helpful in clearing out my respiratory system, nose and throat so that I can breath well. Its called OregaRESP, we bought it at a local Health Food Supply, but you can also buy it on Amazon. It may be helpful for your mom.

Oh I am so sorry to hear what your Mom is going through! It is heart-wrenching to see a loved one suffer.
My biggest concern is her being infected twice after the vaccine - have the doctors checked to see if she has formed antibodies? Does she have any underlying conditions or take medications that would suppress her immune system? If she hasn't been checked, it would be a good idea to find an infectious disease specialist to set up a consult.
Next, it looks like she is suffering long-Covid symptoms, which is now being treated by many special programs around the country. These have a variety of specialists to evaluate your Mom's condition exactly, then create a personal program to get her back on her feet. Just know that it can be a long, slow process. Have you looked for a program near you? You can start by searching here: https://www.survivorcorps.com/pccc Or check into the program offered by Mayo: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/post-covid-recovery/newsfeed-post/covid-activity-rehabilitation-program-carp-at-mayo-clinic/
Please let me know how she is doing, and what your next stepa are.
