Hi, atassi15. Really sorry things are the way they are. I'm not dealing with things nearly as long/concerning as you are, but I hear you about not being a hypochondriac, etc. I think we have to keep trying things - someone suggested a rheumatologist, someone else has had success with acupuncture (I would be interested to know what herbs and diet you use/follow, auntb65) - until we have some level of our former health back. Had a mild (was vaxxed and boosted) covid bout in December, and recovered well enough to go back to work within a week or so. Narcolepsy type of fatigue and GI tract issues started in February, with GI tract issues getting worse, lately. Had three incidents of bowel incontinence this week, similar to what I experienced when I had covid. Luckily, I was at home, each time. Taking digestive enzymes and probiotics. Thinking maybe I should take Imodium before I go to bed, but then concerned the inevitable (?) could happen while I'm commuting/at work. Wishing everyone the best.

You might want to get tested for gastroparesis.- slow emptying of your stomach. I was tested for everything after Covid and finally they found that this is what I have. Trying to attack with diet, but just at beginning of my journey. Like everyone else, just want to feel better- normal!

Thank you so much for your reply, it means a lot to me! It gives me hope to hear from others and to see all the kind words and advice others have to offer. I'm so, so sorry you are having such a tough time as well. It's just crazy to think of all the ways It's changed our lives. I really hope you start to turn a corner soon and wish you all the best 🙏 We are all in this together!
