Post Covid Symptoms and what has helped me.

I occasionally have a smell of something that is burnt or scorched. As for my gabapentin I'm prescribed 800 mg 3x per day . And I have noticed more aches and pains in my joints but I chalked it up to getting older lol... I'm 50. But I do have some deep bone pains from time to time .. it's not muscle or joints, it's the bone itself. When I was sick with covid my legs especially my upper thighs hurt so very bad and that's happened to me about 4x since I got better. But it's almost debilitating.
And you're right , this forum is like therapy because it's good to know we're not alone and it's not all in our head. It's very real and there's still so much that's not known about it. Another bit of info I have NOT taken the Covid vaccine and I absolutely refuse to. I understand that everyone have their own reasons for taking it and that's perfectly fine. I'm just saying it's not for me .
Thanks to all who have commented as I feel it helps us all. Oh and another thing about my neuropathy I have a spot on my back about the size of my hand that is completely numb but sometimes it will itch and burn so bad and it does no good whatsoever to scratch it because I can't feel it.
Anyway thanks for listening to my rambling and I appreciate others comments more than you know!!!

Your symptoms were so well stated. You will never know how reassuring it is to know that others are experiencing these conditions. At the time of the initial “itch” I developed a very light brown area about the size of my hand (upper left shoulder blade). So interesting that we have had some of the same conditions, including the smell of metal.
Finally I visited an immediate care.
The “itch pain” was so uncomfortable, weeks later went to the NWMH ER immediate care in Chicago at 8:00am on a Sunday.
The ER DR. checked me for shingles which had negative
results. I understand her visual observations and TRYING to understand what it could be for her patient. Her photographs of my itch area did not capture the brownish spot. 🙁 only the small scratch marks.
Thank God, for my neurologist and my prescriptions.
Will this itch continue and be a permanent condition?
Truly, at this time, I do not think there is an answer.
Strength and prayers.
