After I was forced to take the vaccine (I work in Healthcare), less than 2 months later. I got COVID 19, but never tested positive. I was very sick and stayed in bed or on my couch for 10 days solid. I had terrible chest pains on night 10, which turns out, was a heart attack. Before getting vaced and the virus, I had almost perfect health at age 46, no acute or chronic issues, no prescription medications for anything. I was prescribed Lasix after coming home from work with elephant legs, only then was an EKG done and I discovered the heart attack or attacks as they told me. Cardiologist was a useless visit, never going back to that idiot. My echo and labs are good, nothing remarkable. A1C is 5.7, Blood sugar 102....but my body acts like it has diabetes and I have gained 70 lbs since May 2020, just after experiencing this horrible virus. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, it's a daily struggle. Any advice is welcomed, medical appointments are not producing any positive results, except for 50 bathroom visits each day since beginning Lasix, which has been increased to 40 MG BID. I am thinking of a starvation diet at this point. I can't bare to gain anymore weight. My NP prescribed Ozempa injection, but the supply is short on demand and no pharmacy in my town has this medication available. Also, I have been diagnosed with neuropathy, which has progressively gotten worse over the last 3 months, I just started Neurotin today. If you can feel the exhaustive sarcasm in my post, it's real too! Suggestions are welcomed.

Typo: I was sick in May 2022, not in 2020.
