New long COVID symptoms? Have you encountered new ones?

I am in month 20 of my Long Covid and although I don't have changes that you describe, I have definitely undergone systematic changes since my acute stage. One positive change is stronger, harder nails. Go figure. IBS is the other very significant change. I used to have IBS D (diarrhea) and now am really struggling with constipation for the first time in my life. I feel like my Long Covid symptoms of fatigue, breathlessness with exertion, weak legs, etc. are improving but every time I push myself, I know that the nasty virus has not left my system.

The nails thing is weird. I didn't have covid. But have had spinal, neck ,rib crushing pin since vaccine booster. My nails got really strong too. My pain was better 3 days ago. Then last 2 days was brutal. A lot of people have mentioned feeling better when they don't eat. I kind of go with that. I'll cut back to a tiny meal and a smoothy. Things seem to be a little better. Gets very sad after a good couple days, then it all comes back. Just thankful it's not as bad as January, not severe pain lifting my laptop.... 👍 Thanks for helping by sharing.

I am curious why you characterize the virus as, still being in you system? Is that how your doctor refers to it. Are you involved in a "long covid" clinic? Thanks
