I think I'm cured. Not the gut problem

Posted by spittendrigh @spittendrigh, Apr 7 8:47pm

I got Covid first time March 2020. I barely got sick. I congradulated myself. I'm tough I thought, even though 70.

Then two years of long Covid followed, far worse than the original sickness. Got almost
better at two years, and then tested positive again.

Followed by two more yesrs of more Long Covid.

Insomnia and slow wits were accompamied by hissing ears, debilitating, akmost but not quite passing out dizzy spells,
and chronlc, no end in sight diarrhea.

Finally saw an intestines specialist. A colonoscopy required an empty gut, accomplished with drugs.

I know the meducal terms the colon-oscopist used. But I will not repeat them. Instead I will use my own terminology.

I was told I had a badly inflamed intestine. Mostly lower. My system was stark empty at that point. I was given. a powerful anti-biotic.

Doc warned me not much would change if the inflammation was virus caused. And there was speculation about low level lingering Covid.

However. I felt better immeduately. I am at 3 weeks now and almost ready to mate with a grizzly bear.

It was all about the gut. For me anyway. I have not had an
infamous "dizzy spell" in two solid weeks. Not one. 20 per day 6 months ago.

There is hope. Butt it takes guts?

Wow. Good stuff. It will take me a while to digest it all.
I did take anti-biotics and a steroid, Butesonoid, and felt better almost instantly.
I wanted to know which drug caused the improvement, so I dropped the Butesonide day 5,
continued anit-biotic for a total two week period.

Now at two months (after four years, to separate bouts, two Covid positive tests two years apart).
I'm not complaiing. :=))

I may need to work on diet, but I know nothing about it.

Butesonide, was the stomach steroid
