Yes. Like the muscles in my back are on fire. The low back pain does not respond to yogic stretching.
It is exacerbated by the post covid fatigue inability to walk very far. So it goes in a vicious cycle. Walking has always been the best thing for my back. I really loosen up at a brisk pace in the fresh air. Now I can't do that.
I had asthma before I got covid in May 21, 6 weeks after my 2nd dose. The worst lasting symptoms are gastrointestinal (1st symptom was flaming hot diarrhea shooting up my back and flaming down my legs into my shoes. I had been feeling 100% great. This was about 2:00 p.m. Got home, cleaned up, felt fine but very confused as every bit of media I had seen was lung related so penny did not drop. Made dinner, bed by 11 p.m. did not wake up for 5 days. When I did I could not move one digit nor my eye lids. So couldn't call EMT's. By the time I was able to get out of bed I was well enough to not go to the hospital and die from Shit-Food poisoning.)
Sorry for long winded post, but the gastrointestinal issues are equally as bad as brain damage.
Yes, I did, in addition to my walking disability. See my post regarding walking. The back was horrible for the first two years, and has improved significantly now that I am taking the NK. I had back issues before the COVID booster but nothing like what followed. Had to lie down for hours a day using a heating pad. Still do for an hour or two, but acknowledge that I am 80 years old, but all of this has aged me. Was always healthy and played tennis until well into my 70s. Now this!
Yes. Almost exactly the same but I also am struggling with nausea and can't eat or drink anything cold as it hurts my stomach.
