Praying for you. How old are you? I didn’t mention I developed overactive bladder during active covid in June 2022. I’d be walking to the bathroom not feeling any urgency. It would be like somebody turned the faucet on, and it wasn’t me. As soon as I wasn’t contagious I saw a female urologist who ran tests and diagnosed me with overactive bladder. I take medication daily which has helped. But, I do know where the bathrooms are in local stores. I also had 6 fully formed bowel movements a day, despite the weight gain😳Everytime I sat on the toilet to pee, I’d also poop. That continued for a year until I started on prednisone. I woke up every morning with extreme body aches and had been taking 1,000 MG Ibuprofen to function. When I was referred to a local rheumatologist, he sent me for extensive blood work. Based on those results he diagnosed me with rheumatoid arthitis. I started on 10 mg prednisone which brought my bowels back to normal, as well as alleviating the body aches without Motrin.

Forgot to mention I’m 72. I was 70 when I had covid in June 2022.

Thanks for sharing. I'm 49. I have not consulted with a long covid specialist. Maybe I should. Im considering seeing a Bariatician for the weight gain. I have been gluten free for over 7 years, 5 months I stopped eating meat, only consume seafood; and severly decreased sugar intake. No weight loss. Also, I didn't mention, my MGUS progressed to Smoldering Multiple Myeloma over a year ago. I'm feel monstrous. I mostly stay home. It's blessing that I found a job working from home.
