I had Covid in February 2020. Very sick for two weeks with a more digestive type illness. Could not eat due to nausea and extreme fatigue and lost 10 lbs. Developed Long Covid, really bad for a year with fatigue, dry cough, exercise intolerance, dizziness, strange pressure in head, headaches, poor memory, brain fog, depression/anxiety, edema, elevated blood markers for risk of blood clots, the list goes on. Was getting a little better and then symptoms were exacerbated by one dose of vaccine in January 2021. Vaccine injury with nerve pain, terrible memory and cognitive problems. Can't get another vaccine. Two years from illness I was feeling generally better, with fewer Long Haul episodes, but had developed inflammation in my blood vessels, elevated triglycerides, pre diabetes and sudden weight gain in belly area with extreme edema in abdomen. No reason that makes sense. I eat a healthy, organic diet, walk daily and practice holistic medicine. Weight increasing and I can't seem to stop it. I am at risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes, despite my history of being slender and fit. Somehow, Covid did this to me.

Sorry you're you've experienced this. Not sure if you're aware of the National Vaccine Injury Program, but definitely reach out to them or I can provide you more info. I also had a vaccine related injury, my Drs didn't want to take the risk with me getting the Covid vaccine as a result. But I have direct contacts of you would like. Prayers to you.

I had Covid at the end of Nov 2020., into Dec. I suffered from severe nausea during the different phases of Covid. I loss quite a bit of weight during that. Now during the last year or so my weight has shot up about 20 pounds. Mostly in my torso area. My diet hasn’t changed. I’ve never really had issues with my weight like this.
