Extreme Fatigue

Posted by catherinej @catherinej, Jul 21 11:36am

I have had long COVID for 3+ years, this last week I was generally active 4 days ( household, shopping, social, mild exercise). Wednesday evening slept at 3:30 in the afternoon for 12 hours; by Friday I contracted a head cold/congestion going around.
Fatigue hit sooo strong...I basically crashed until this morning, Sunday @ 6 a.m. Additionally, during this crash I experienced my weird COVID dreams ( it feels almost like a continuation of past COVID bad dreams ).
Anyone else experience something like this???? I feel so Rip Van Winkle because I thought today was Saturday evening not Sunday morning. Also, how do I recover and come and connect to reality while STILL SOOO FATIGUED???
I had a cup of coffee, I am hydrating with a lot of water, taking vitamin C, blasting some good music...
I am struggling with this and it seems like it is consuming me.😕

In reply to @jsb88 "I have Tinnitus as well. I read an article today that says eliminating wheat and gluten..." + (show)

I have celiac and have been eating a gluten-free diet for the last six months. I haven't noticed any shift in symptoms related to Post-COVID syndrome, but maybe it just hasn't been long enough. I did not get diagnosed with celiac until 48 years old, perhaps my gut still has some healing to do. And if celiac isn't present, the gluten/wheat-free diet may be more helpful. So many variable to look into! Best of luck!
