I got Covid 12/19/21..the day my world forever changed. I was unable to work for several months. I went back to work and then out again for another month. The fatigue was unreal. A lot of nerve pain, my right arm was unreal. It felt like I was getting zapped by an electric fence 24/7. My toes are still numb , reddened and sore from my covid toes. For the last year 1/2 it hurt to walk and put shoes on, I just went to a foot doctor the other day, he took xrays and told me to get some blue accommodator orthotics. I wore them yesterday , and for the first time, I could walk without the nerve pain. How wonderful is that. The worst part of this is the way covid attacked my immune system and left me with a severe case of ulcerative Colitis. Medications do not work. My hair falls out daily. So many side effects from the medications, it was worse than the disease itself. Hospitalized twice, unable to eat normally. I have a physical job and I have told that the physical activity and lifting revs up my gut. This is the worse part for me as I have been very isolated as people do not get this long covid syndrome, so I have preferred to be myself. It just makes it easier. I hope you find some help . It takes a long time , patience and prayers. There is no cure for this syndrome as they do not know what to do with all of us. We a mystery to the medical profession. I hope some day they can help us. Hang in there. You can write me anytime. I love this connect at least we are not alone. Sincerely, Kitty2

Bless you! I get it, but, my symptoms are not as severe as yours. You are correct.....we are a mystery to the medical profession. I don't share my long Covid ailments with many, because it's hard for folks to understand. My faith in the Lord sustains me in this. I pray this nasty virus will be gone soon. Prayers & Hugs....
