Long Covid pain

Hi StillAway,

I’ve had long term Covid for almost 3 months. I also have Fibromyalgia, Sjögrens (which is Autoimmune) and CFS. It’s definitely put me in a flare this whole time, hurting my muscle, joint, and nerve pain. I still have all the symptoms: nasal congestion, throat pain, headache, cough, and my lungs hurting like there’s an elephant on my chest making it feel like I’m breathing through a straw. I’ve been on antibiotics twice and both times felt like I took placebos. It’s too much!!

Did you or anyone else reading this have these symptoms long, or just the pain? I noticed everyone is talking about the pain. Is there anything that helped those symptoms? What is cold laser treatments and how does that work ?

Any suggestions would be helpful!

Thanx!

I am finally getting some relief. I have found that needling helps . The physiotherapist places a needle 🪡 into the muscle area and moves it around. Also he pulls at my legs from the ankle. Just a long pull. He raps a band around my ankle and gives it a good stretch. Then he does a stretch’s my back. Also I walk on the treadmill for a hour. It not fast. And rest. Get some good sleep and I also use A535 rub. It takes time. If you try to rush your healing process you can get a set back for a day or two. I found that out myself. Because I am getting frustrated over my pain and not being able to go the things I could do. Before I got Covid. But I am gradually getting better. And hot water bottles or a heating pad works too on the areas. But if I don’t move I find I get stiff. But I finally have had a few days not all in a row. One day here one day there. With no pain! Yahoo! So we think the needling is working. One strange think I have noticed. I don’t have my arthritis anymore. I could tell someone when it was going to rain or snow. Or when it would get cold. But it seems like sense I got Covid. The arthritis just disappeared. Also I have really bad idiopathic hyerinsomnia . On top of my sleep apnea. It’s where no matter how much sleep I get I will always be tired. But I have noticed that I am not tired in the morning anymore. Maybe it could of been the pain that kept me awake. It was actually nice to finish reading a book and not falling asleep reading. God bless and hope physiotherapy can help you too.
