Experience with long haul covid symptoms?
I had covid about 9 weeks ago and the initial 14 days felt like I had the flu. I didn’t have any respiratory symptoms, it was all muscular and joint pain. At weeks 3-5 I felt really good, but now for the last few weeks I’ve have joint pains, muscle aches, and burning sensations. I’ve been throwing up and have had diarrhea. I had 5 menstrual cycles in 11 weeks so I know there is something hormonal going on. I don’t leave the house except for groceries (it’s still a mystery how I got covid in the first place) so it’s not likely that I have another illness. I’ve been to the doctor and they’ve pretty much said it’s just long haul covid symptoms. All of my blood work came back normal so there was no worries there. They just don’t fully understand covid or know what’s going on. At week 9 I’m pretty much sicker now than I was when I had the virus. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I’m at a loss for what to do and I feel ill everyday.

Do you have covid antibodies?Did you only take 1 test?It's possible you never had covid, if you only did one test.Have you been given an anti-inflammatory? maybe methylprednisolone or dexamethasone
Also, when you had the body work, did they look at your vitamin D levels. You should get this checked if it wasn't included.
- in the meantime, start taking 5000UI of vitamin D in coconut oil (the oil helps improve absorption). This is enough to start bringing your levels up if you are deficient but not enough to push you over the edge if you have adequate levels.
- also you should be using regular immune builders like vitamin C, zinc and magnesium.- since it's hormonal, you might also add 50UI of Selenium. It's difficult to find this low does so take a 200UI twice a week.
However, since you likely haven't been eating well for 6+ weeks, you should likely add freeze dried organ meat to the mix. I know it sounds gross but it has a lot of immune builder type stuff.
good luck.
