I don't know what to do anymore

Covid can trigger some illnesses with your symptoms, namely fibromyalgia and PMR. Have your drs at the U of M mentioned this? For over a year I thought I had long Covid, but have now been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have an appt at a pain clinic in two weeks and will ask about low dose naltrexone, a newer treatment for chronic pain that doesn't have withdrawal issues if you want to stop taking it. I am also going to ask about getting a medical marijuana card.

Thank you for your reply! I am definitely going to need to mention the PMR and fibromyalgia at my next covid appt. I know I had bloodwork done over a year ago to check for inflammation and autoimmune diseases, but nothing came of it. My inflammation was definitely elevated at that time; I can't imagine what it is now. I unfortunately can't take much NSAIDS to try and help with inflammation because they reduce the effect of beta blockers and I'm on propanolol. Thank you for your advice though, I'm going to doctor to my doctor for sure! And I wish you luck with the medical Marijuana card. I wish so much it didn't make me anxious and paranoid, otherwise I would definitely be looking to do that myself. I'm glad it works so well for others though! I think it's all about finding what works best for yourself specifically. I've noticed in many threads that some things work well for others, and others not so much. It's just a matter of trying anything I think and fighting to find what works. I really appreciate your advice so much 🙂

I started taking a low dose of naltrexone for pain and it HAS helped. Also taking Methylene blue for low oxygen levels plus lumbrokanise and loads of vitamins and minerals… hoping for good results..Asking Dr to check lactic acid???
