I’m on the same timeline as you with Covid March 2020. Bilateral Covid pneumonia diagnosed in the ER but I told them i would be fine at home with a pulse ox (I work in healthcare) Oxygen went down into 80’s and even in 70’s occasionally. Unfortunately I was so out of it I couldn’t even get myself back to the hospital. I’m lucky to be here. Been dealing with long haul stuff since then. I’m on bipap at night due to central/mixed sleep apnea that began when I had Covid. I never had any kind of sleep apnea before then. I noticed last month a sudden weight gain of about 8 pounds in my belly area. I have not seen the dr for it because… I feel like… what’s the point? Till they know more…. My mind and body can’t take much more of being told it is anxiety or depression or that there is no link. Thank you for making me feel a tiny bit less crazy.

thank you for sharing... I do not have issues sleeping more so memory fog as well as being tired.. I Dr's I have seen seem to indicate that my weight gain is LH Covid related. I have lost the weight via a drug called lasix and when I come off lasix I regain the weight ....
I hope forums such as this allow us to share and work with the medical community to figure thus out..
Hang in there

Thank you for sharing this. I am in same situation as yourself.
