When I got Covid in Feb/March 2020 I had the typical fever with chills, flu like symptoms and slept a lot. I also had what felt like contractions in my upper abdomen. (I did not lose my taste or smell) But even 3 weeks after the onset I was still not feeling well and had what I now know was the beginning of Long Covid. I did call my GP the first couple of days when I got sick but was who told he wasn't seeing patients due to pandemic....! Well a month later I insisted on blood work getting done as I was still having fevers and was still completely exhausted.. Blood work showed my gall bladder had failed completely and was now gangrenous and needed to be removed. I ended up going too the emergency room and underwent successful surgery to have the gangrenous gall bladder removed. So, apparently the virus settled in my digestive system, the gall bladder. My recovery from the surgery took a good 2 months and I thought, for sure, I would be as good as new. Not so...Here it is 30 months later and I still am dealing with extreme fatigue, spiking fevers, heart palps. and brain fog.

I am so sorry to hear about your Long Covid. It is real and I am shocked at how little doctors understand the GI issues. My gastroenterologist didn’t even connect it. It was my Electrophysiologist!!’
Please keep me updated on your progress.
