Reinfection... rebooted my long covid

Hi @greg1234. I am so grateful you posted this and Im hearing others say it too. My similar journey of year 4 post covid and another covid infection june 24 challenges old symptoms, new symptoms, yet hopeful immune system built up enough for less healing time in all the unknowns🙃 Quickest healing to you🌈

So sorry to hear this. I've had a similar experience. But the second time around, my recovery has been quicker. I hope the same for you!

I am so sorry to hear that. I still live with it as well, but have not gotten over the many symptoms in the last 3+ years. I do worry about my immune system, as I know it is compromised. I get so frustrated, as I know many, if not all, of you do. It is a day at a time, but I do ruminate and worry about the future and what is going to happen. Now, I will be without health insurance this year. That is a scary as well as infuriating reality. Lately, I have noticed that I am getting symptoms that are like RA. I will not give up, today anyway. Hang in there and keep us posted. Did you see if EBV was reactivated?

I'm curious: How many here who are reporting 'repeat infections' also have the Epstein Barr Virus in their systems (it never goes away...). I know that I do because I contracted Mononeuclosis when I was 12 years old (I'm now 83 years of age). I've caught every variant during my 5 years post covid.
Anyway...EBV always complicates things if you know what I mean.
My best to all,
Hugs,
Pam

Yes, i had mono twice, once as a teen, and once in my fifties, confirmed by an antibody test. Plenty of research indicates that e b v is activated by the covid virus and could cause a myriad of long covid symptoms. So what to do... it is worth researching supplements which deal with dormant viruses like epstein barr. They can really help with flare ups. Check out Leo Galland MD.

I have had long covid which started after getting Covid19 in Feb 2020 4 months later I had COVID toe and lost all my eyebrows out of no where for no reason. At the Time my Dr diagnosed me with Covid toe a ME/CFS which ME( Myalgic Enchephlimitis) is very different compared to CFS but they do have a few similar attributes. The USA mixes ME/and CFS as one thing like they used to Fibromyalgia and CFS .
My point is I understand your pain I have not been sick with any Flu or cold or pneumonia or anything bsinxe I got COVID in the first place . I am one of a very small group about 12% give or take of the entire world who's symptom were 4 days of severe vertigo I couldn't do anything but lay in bed if I moved is throw up from the vertigo the day 5 I could get up no vertigo but the next 5 days no taste no smell
I started having the strangest symptoms. I ended up with partial paralysis which can happen with Long Covid and Myalgic Enchephlimitis and CFS among other auto immune situation once that past after year 2 I got Omicron variant that is whe my hair fell out in areas I am a natural Strawberry Blond Redheaded so I can't just go but a wig for me it didn't work like that I finally ayarted to get my hair back but I endd up starting menopause in my mid 40s now we are w years later so total almost 5 years now and all the improvements in Maine anyways have come from my own research on medical field and trying different things Nicotine patch didn't help me Ivermectine syarted to when I added NAD as well weekly mixed with real No GMO food so I had to buy neat and veggies from a None GMO natural Beef farm that also did organic vegetable growing as well I was spending over 2 grand on food a month that way which I would keep doing if I could. It is a shame that more people don't know what is in our food even if the grocery store you buy it from Hannaford here in Maine claims it's all natural meat .
Anyway I know that Hyperberic chamber HBOT works especially in my situation as I have overactive immune system that has been with me over 20 months now causing my lungs to swell in fact my entire body I could have avoided it when I told my Dr I believed I was hitting a Cytokine storm and before it gets out of control please help me . Nope I was then told Sepcialists only and here in Maine it's is a 1 to 2 yr wait if you have long covid symptoms anyway .I was then told over 60% of all women lose their gear in premenstrual or menopause life which is a lie yet I had 13 Drs tell me this to avoid Long Covid they kept telling me the swelling that caused my lungs to have inflammation so bad it did cause a Cytokine storm was due to menopause which is a lie .
My point is Keep on that track of digging deeper as Long Covid can cause either dormant things your body had to come out, or there are microscopic particles of Covid19 and or variants that clelary were able to hide when covid came out for almost 14 days or more and the reasoning millions of is seemed to have such a strange version of no or low fever no throwing up or maybe small throwing up and no fever but so weak out of nowhere etc is because Covid19 was able to gain access inside of our bodies and hide itself. It was able to do so by( (Varying concentrations of metal ions — positively charged atoms such as magnesium, it exploits changes in metal ion concentrations to disguise itself in the body . https://uthscsa.edu/physicians/news/researchers-discover-how-covid-19-virus-disguises-itself-body)
This is just one written article by over 100 Drs that have done extensive research early on mind you of how it did thso Frok the USA all the way to India and to many other countries . The point is that COVID 19 and it's Variants turned them selves on many of our bodies into a sick Maze which unless you get the right Drs or like us do Alot of your own research and trial and error We will never known.
