Symptoms throughout the day: A pattern is emerging

Prancer I'm so sorry I know that's got to be heartbreaking I couldn't even imagine having to go through this all over again I'm doing a little bit better this week I have five gastro tests being done on me tomorrow they're going to put me under and do whatever they need to do hopefully I can get some kind of answer they really don't even know what's going on with me they say but I still haven't gotten a PCP yet.

Thank you. We went through the Marketplace (in Idaho), bit there weren't as comprehensive policies as you described your to be. But, yay, you! It's nice to know you're covered well!

Thank you, but it's very unfortunate that you did not have that option. From what I am have be told they are going to start allowing insurance to be used in some cases. We have such a long road ahead. I go tomorrow to the gastro to have 5 and I mean 5 gastro test done at the same time. Just to save me a few bucks and only have me under 1 instead of?
3 ,4 or 5.

Thank you for not saying we have such a long haul ahead. 😂
Thoughts and hugs sent for your procedures/tests tomorrow! Always praying for answers and solutions for us all.

The pic is what I felt like I got hit by back in September 2020...

Yes, I see a pattern emerging. I have been “off” since late November. I am a in a dense fog when I get up. It lasts for the full morning. I usually have about a 2 hour opening of thinking clearly, although I still have problems with planning, follow-through, sense of the passage of time. After my 2 hour opening, I am mentally done for the day. I feel exhausted.
As for fatigue, I am tired all day. I have no energy to carry out daily routines. When I tried walking as a way to increase stamina, I found that when my heart rate goes up, I get light-headed.
I have joint /muscle pain intermittently. It will keep me awake all night, then totally disappear. Same for getting into a standing position and walking with a straight back. Sometimes this problem lasts for a few days, then not at all.
I do see some progress in recent weeks. I had shortness of breath on minor exertion (making my bed). That is no longer an issue. I used to be out flat all day and all night. I am doing better spending time doing things around the house, although I need to lie down and rest frequently.
Thanks for asking the question. It has helped me realize that I am headed in the right direction. I hope you have the same experience.

Love the pic

I am sorry that Long Covid has had such a profound impact on you life. My experience, so far, pales in comparison. I posted on 1/18 about my current situation.

Questions: how did you find someone who practices holistic medicine? What is that person’s background? I prefer to find an MD, DO, PA, or ARNP…someone with traditional credentials who blends holistic with traditional.

How did you find a neurologist who takes Long Covid seriously? I am familiar with several neurologists in the area, who would not be a good match.

I have also found that shifting my lifestyle within my current limits is very helpful. I was stuck on being embarrassed about what I cannot do. My friends did not understand. I thought I was crazy. I am on a better track now. I have told my friends/local folk on a need to know basis. At least they now “get it” (kind of).

Thanks for your helpful comments. I wish you the best.

I love the artwork I definitely feel like I got hit by the long hauler as well like some days I feel better than most and then there's others that I feel like I died I was buried and somebody dug me up and brought me back to life I feel sometimes like a walking corpse you'll see some of my posts in here that I really didn't get any answers from the gastrologist I still have biopsies that I have to wait for the results to come back only thing they could tell me is that I had a hiatus hernia that is caused by the constant vomiting and the dry heaving and I got accused of causing anorexia myself yeah he accused me of making myself that is all in my mind lovely lovely lovely

You know I guess that's the true meaning of long hauler we are hauling these burdens around for what seems to be more than a lifetime you know I took a stand this week and spoke out amongst many social media platforms about us being overlooked about how we need help how we need everyone to bring awareness to the seriousness of long covid how we need assistance so we can focus on healing and finding a solution to our ailment and I really don't know if it's helped or not but from what I've seen since then is a lot of information that I didn't know existed there is a website you can go to called long covid.org and it has a lot of information on there but again still nothing for the middle aged childless adult nothing besides food stamps and a bunch of scams my heart goes out to you I really hope today is a good day for you hearts and prayers
