i agree about this vaccine thing, being at really crowded airports and in packed planes one week before Christmas in Dec of 2019 was when i got covid...there where no vaccines then for it. i was really sick, so much for my trip, it wasn't fun! sooo i ended up with post or long covid, what ever you want to call it..since then..long before any vaccine my symptoms started..the cough along with a lot of phlegm ..that never leaves my throat, messed up sinuses, sore throat and hoarse voice, some headaches, dizziness, brain fog, taste and smell changes, plugged ears, vision changes, memory changes, moody and anxiety come and go, i'm now always itchy..sometimes with a rash that burns at times on different parts of me, bowel and bladder changes, out of breath at times, leg cramps..that are not charlie horses, tight chest at times, nauseous, digestion system messed up..when i eat or drink anything..i really get a lot of phlegm, always really tired, now i have high blood pressure, numb toes and the internal tingling all over when it decides it want to be there, muscle and joint pain....and a lot more. i never had any of these symptoms before covid, i also gained 35lbs for no reason at all. when i was sick my oxygen level was low, phlegm was so bad i almost did end up in the hospital because i couldn't breath..and now i found out on my last dr. appt that my bone density has thinned..i was shocked to hear that because it was always amazing, my bones where great! that has been one thing i always made sure of...maybe that's one of the reasons my back has been really bothering me..i wonder..is it another crap thing from covid, curious??? well, that is all, hang in there everyone, we have to beat this demon virus......prayers to you all!!

I could have written this. I,too, had Covid before it was well known. Later took the vaccine and had additional flare up. Now I’ve had post Covid for over two years. Currently the thing that is driving me crazy is the phlegm. It never ever goes away. I clear my throat almost constantly. I get so fatigued I can hardly sit up at times. It’s so bad after I eat that I dread eating but still gain weight. I won’t go on and on, although I could! My oxygen level becomes so low at times I have to rush to the oxygen. My doctor put me on home oxygen now.
There has to be an answer for this.
