I’m about 18 months post covid, a lot better but probably around 85-90%. My initial symptoms were very mild, the LC kicked in about 6 weeks after testing positive. I had the weirdest symptoms, the worst was this very nasty head pain, like something I’d never experienced before, and very odd anxiety sensations. Also nasty insomnia, weird dreams, mottling skin on my thighs, tinnitus, muscle spasms, horrible fatigue, the list just went on.
Im currently left with breathing issues, tingling sensations and strange, disrupted sleep. Can’t exercise like I used to, but back to work full time (I ended up taking nearly 6 months off work, I’m self-employed so was a big hit to my finances). I’ve been in the same state for the last 6-9 months I reckon, so I wonder if this is now it.
prior to getting covid, I had no health issues, slim, very fit, young-ish (40), was double vaccinated at the time, so honestly was quite surprised at how hard it hit me. Also a sense of ‘unfairness’ when for most people it was no worse than a cold.
I was referred to the UCLH Long Covid clinic supposedly one of the best, but it wasn’t much help. Guess there’s so many unknowns about covid and a lack of research into post viral conditions, there’s a limit to what they can do. I found the FB groups the best resource, as it was a helpful way of at least understanding the weird shit that was happening to me, and knowing that I wasn’t alone, as I didn’t know anyone in real life that had anything similar.
