I had Fibromyalgia for years before Long Covid-which is now like having Fibromyalgia to the 10th power. You have my great sympathy because at least I can say I have experience dealing with a debilitating illness that affects multiple body systems, has no cure, most of the medical diagnostic test results are negative, only symptoms can be treated & most treatments don’t work, make me sicker or offer a short respite before symptoms start up again. There’s an LC clinic-the only one in the state of Arkansas -is 3 hours away (still can’t drive that long/far) I’m trying to get in. 1st available appointments-if I’m accepted- is in Feb 2024. Prayers & fingers crossed for us all.

@cornelligan I think I probably had fibromyalgia long before Covid, but Covid made it that much worse. I hope you are able to get a sooner appointment. Hugs.

I know some people disagree with me on this, and that's ok. My Fibro ramped up after a rough case of Covid and then I am now being treated for Lupus. I truly believe Covid attacks your weak areas, causes more inflammation and may even cause new autoimmune issues. I'm so sorry you all are going through this. Prayers and hope to all....
