Also I’m a member of two non-moderated random long hauler Fbook groups (aka, not medical advice so have cynical eye)…but I’m reading and seeing more about antihistamines being an issue related to my symptoms. Many find pains in legs and arms alleviate with an antihistamine H1 and/or H2 blocker (Allegra/Zyrtec/Claritin or Pepcid). Again not medical advice, but something to ask your doctor. I’m on low histamine diet and my symptoms in arms and legs seem to improve. I was diagnosed with skin fungal infection from antibiotics in ear infection and taking meds and took one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in tall glass of water mixed together. Two hours later my entire face and scalp was super itchy and I realized although apple cider vinegar is great for fungal infections it’s high in histamines (lowest in histamines if vinegars but still high). I’m meeting with my dr again next week to check progress on fungal infection and also with dermatologist to confirm my skin infection isn’t something else.

I hope you continue to feel better. It is a bit overwhelming to have all these symptoms persist. Wishing you good healing soon.

I too experienced major joint pain only in my hips, knees, ankles and toes. I was in excruciating pain when I finally went to dr for my issue. Steroids held it at bay but it would quickly return when I completed taking them. Finally I was treated with large doses of Steroids and arthritis medication. I still have mild knee and ankle joint pain over 10 months later. I'm 41 and quite active with no history of joint issues.
