my mom 52 year old healthy female- got fully vaccinated moderna march 2021. got case of shingles 5 days post her first dose (shingles confirmed by doctor diagnosis). contracted covid infection may 24, 2021. Did okay was not great but pulled through after about 2 weeks… 2 months and 25 days later she was confirmed (pcr confirmed again) positive diagnosis with covid for the second time august 18 2021. …. she is currently not someone who was sent to the hospital yet but only because she is the best patients staying on anti inflammatory foods diet only, additional supplements, doing her breathing n exercises and stretching and in the beginning she used any energy she had to call and read on ways to stay out of hospital. she is however struggling immensely to get over this second covid infection that lead to “long covid syndrome”. we charted all symptoms from the start of this second infection 6 weeks ago today and she had over 60 listed on a form she printed from a resource on Mayo with symptoms to bring to your doctor. It’s unreal for a generally healthy woman no underlying conditions fully vaccinated to be a “breakthrough-BREAKTHROUGH” case within 3 months apart. all testing diagnosed and confirmed and i’ve documented the entire 8 months between her, myself, and anyone’s experiences i personally know- and all the research i have done… my husband had covid in December and after what the vaccine did to my body and my moms… i worry there is something yet to be untold about the vaccines. I would just say it could make your body overreact and be bad for you… or it could protect you fully… or it could hurt you weaken your immune system possibly causing you to contract covid easier and then you can still be fully vaccinated and get covid twice… a lot to unpack and a lot yet to be discovered and reported with both vaccines and virus… be confident in your decision either way. there’s a lot more about both then there was 6 months ago!

What did your Mom learn at her appointment this week? Were any ideas towards healing offered?
Also, this article was referenced in Connect a few days ago, I think it is worth reading simply because it shows 1) post vital symptoms are not that well understood, and have gone on long before Covid, 2) many doctors and scientists are as puzzled as we are, and 3) research is underway.

I will suggest a 3rd possible cause for you Mom's sever reaction - having both the Shingles virus, and Covid twice, are a triple assault on her body. My suspicion is that the combination of Shingles and the first Covid infection affected her immune system in some way.

At this point, connecting with a comprehensive Covid rehab program may be her best option, as they keep cureent with all the latest treatment and therapy choices.
I wish her healing, and peace of mind to bothof you!
