Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I’m thankful you had some level of improvement!! Do doctors acknowledge long Covid and have treatment plans? This isn’t something I’ve spent time looking in to.

They just started acknowledging and have a medical code...but don't really have a helpful treatment plan. FB Groups where people discuss what they have tried have mixed results.

I’m sorry that’s the situation you’re in. I’ll be praying for breakthrough for everyone who is suffering in this way.

Possibly an ignorant question but what's the difference between long covid and pneumonia?

Some LC have lung issues like pneumonia, I don't. My O2 is 98 today.
My main issue is fatigue Dizziness, and anxiety. I have to stop and lay down. BP will drop, ex 100/ 75. Blood sugar and O2 will be fine. When I go to the DR the BP is high. I believe due to the anxiety. Heart tests say nothing abnormal. They don't have anything to offer. Supplements others suggest have been more helpful than Drs.

I also have brain fog.
Everything smells the same, I bought a natural gas alarm.
Tinnitus , I leave the TV on when in the house and white noise machine at night.
Can't stay asleep, rotate melatonin, Tylenol PM, Valerian sleep supplement. No caffeine after 1pm.

The LC FB group are mainly people who had covid. Not sure on vaccine status of all. Some said LC before vac, some after, and some never vac.
Some people never had covid symptoms but develop LC after vaccination.

Thank you for this info. Sounds like "white coat syndrome" as far as bp being high at the Dr. I know cause I have that. Tinnitus is probably the cause of your dizziness and brain fog. Have you tried doing a sleep study instead of self medicating?

The traffic and being around people are stressful. I had new tires put on the truck 3 miles away and had to do breathing exercises to calm down. So I doubt i would fall asleep in a strange place.
I always had trouble falling asleep in hotels and friends houses.

Do doctors have recommendations for treating long Covid?

I can't answer this. I am almost 70 years old and have never been to a doctor. I can only say that when symptoms get really bad, ivermectin has helped. I experience sudden severe breathing problems, fatigue, brain fog, heart racing which I never had before covid. When my legs start shaking so bad that I can't hardly stand anymore, I take the ivermectin and am usually good for another month or so. (I'm not a big fan of medicines either) I usually don't tell people about not going to doctors, most react so negatively. Saying this now because this site (among a few more) is where I found the info to help. Maybe my info will help someone else.
