I've had the same bladder problems don't need to go until it's so full it takes minutes and I have to sit, as a man, because standing that long or just getting to the bathroom starts the cycle. First the fatique and shortness of breath upon movement. The moment I exert a bit of energy like having to pick up something I dropped the sweat comes. A profuse strong smelling greasy sweat that will soak through two shirts my hoodie and even wet the inside of my coat. If I stand in one spot long enough I can make a
Puddle from what's dripped off my head and hair. I suffer from some things that prevent me from being able to drive and I can't be a passenger my anxiety is too out of control but I can no longer walk to the store let alone carry home the food I need to eat I don't leave my bed I have a blinding migraine all day every day and I was set to get my lungs checked because when the exertion of energy causes the sweating and loss of oxygen it's not just being out of breath it feels more like suffocating and then my lungs become so painful they feel like when you get road rash falling off a fast moving bike wearing shorts and then someone comes and rubs that ICY-HOT cream all over the wound. That's what my lungs feel like. I told doctor I needed this checked. He was ready to give me referral or schedule the appointment and when I mentioned it's long covid symptoms he said why don't we wait till I see you for referral. Then cancelled my next 4 appointments waiting 3 months or longer in between each one. They wouldn't even let anyone with cold symptoms in our hospital I didn't think they would tell me to go home from long covid symptoms too. So once again like in every health crisis I've had, our shit discriminatory judgemental and lazy doctors refuse to do anything about it. Like when they accused me of overdose when I had flesh eating virus and told me to make my death someone else's problem and get out of his emergency room.. and just like when I had a chest wall infection causing Inflammation so bad it blocked air to my right lung and was pressing against my heart the doctor told me I was lying about my symptoms and he's not entertaining any pill seekers today. This is because my med files show I am an addict. Being sober 10 years does not matter to anyone
i also have a change in the bowels and it seems to relate somehow, i almost feel like my bladder and bowel has grown together!
