Early Care Tips for COVID Longhaulers Aug 30 9:37am | By Greg Vanichkachorn (@drvan)Comment receiving replies
I’m sorry to pry, but you’re the ONLY soul I’ve heard who has had it as long as I have!
When you personally get sick with something else, does it throw you back? Into a flare? I’ve asked drs here, and they look like I’m crazy. Yet one dr told me: this is an opportunistic virus. She isn’t my Covid team ( of course!) but that makes sense to me.

Definitely! I got covid in July 2022, getting the flu in September gave me a major setback with triggering new crazy symptoms (body tingling and heart palpitations) and reactivating some of the old ones (severe pain and inflammation, torso jolts when I lie down, micro-clots on my legs). Being exposed to the flu again when a family member had it a couple months later, reactivated all of those things again, even though I didn’t get any actual flu symptoms that time.
