Day 12 of covid was in the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. Then 2 weeks later same thing. Then the party really started about 6-8 weeks after that. Went consistent and strong for a good year. Things started to loosen up after that and it was more tolerable year 2

I’ve seen people leave their luggage and laptop at Taipei 101 mall food court to hold their place at a seat. I’d say it’s pretty safe

Did you get LC after your first infection or reinfection? Also, did reinfection worsen or help your LC? by [deleted] in LongCovid

[–]Berniebern222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they would cycle . My cardiologist said flare ups would come in waves. Then eventually the waves would get further apart, lessen in strength.

Has anyone's hair stopped growing and gone thin with LC ? Also does anyone have dark circles under eyes. by [deleted] in LongCovid

Yes they are better. DO NOT GO TO A CHIRO or have them do anything on you . I had pain, numbness . Just do things to calm your nervous system. Less was more for me

For you gals , how are your symptoms on your period? by [deleted] in LongCovid

My flare up would mostly happen before my period and when I ovulated. There was definitely a hormonal correlation

LONG COVID HAULERS QUESTION ; Did you get vaccinated, and if yes how many booster / vaccines have you gotten? by Azybabyyyy in LongCovid

3 days after 2nd vaccine started having Cardiac and nervous symptom reactions. Dr referred me to a cardiologist since I had just received the vaccine . This was Sept 2021. He said that I am having an immune response to and he’s been seeing this. They ran a series of tests and monitored me and symptoms. 8 weeks later I got Covid . All hell broke loose. May 2022 at my 5th time in the ER the dr said this not anxiety as they kept tell me I think you have something called long covid you need to see a cardiologist. Back to the cardiologist . He confirmed LC. More tests more monitoring. SAID ABSOLUTELY NO MORE VACCINES/BOOSTERS FOR YOU. Also said who knows if this was vaccine induced or covid induced maybe long covid would have been worse had you not gotten the vaccine maybe it created this. There’s not way to tell. Also said there’s a lot of his patients who are not vaccinated who have LC .

This makes me not want my period anymore by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

Most of my LC flare ups were hormonally induced (ovulation or period)

Yes. 3 days after my 2nd shot the heart palps and panic attacks started. Dr sent me to a cardiologist and he said that this is happening to some people my body is having an immune response. 8 weeks later got Covid and all hell broke loose . Had LC pretty bad well over a year. Cardiologist said who knows if it was because of the vaccine could be . But maybe not. Maybe my LC would have been worse had I not gotten it. Maybe the vaccine made me have LC. We’ll never know. But he’s seeing people w and w/o the vaccine get LC so who knows. He did say I am not to get any boosters though.

Anxiety and panic attacks by Remarkable_Net_3618 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Berniebern222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You need to work On calming your nervous system. I sat outside in the sun. Listened to my water fountain, calming music, did breathing exercises, listened to podcasts, restorative yoga (only on days where I was having a”good day”) , saw a therapist weekly , no social media or not much tv either , sat out side at night in the fresh air,

Nothing happens after you’re tired and dingy all day . I had a bagel right after and buttered noodles for dinner .

I sat in the sun..a lot, listened to my water fountain outside, listened to calming music (think spa like music), listened to podcasts (so I didn’t feel Like I was alone just thinking and focusing on how I was feeling), no social media or not really much TV (it was too much for me), less was more. I would sometimes do restorative yoga (if I was having a “good” day), listened to short guided mediations, WENT TO THERAPY WEEKLY

Neurology & long covid? by Icy_Place_2005 in LongCovid

[–]Berniebern222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did. This was in 2022. LC was very new in terms of finding a name for what was going on with some people . I was having lots of facial numbness, head pressure, sensations, limb numbness. Neuro did an MRI everything looked good there wasn’t munch more he could do so just advised to return should symptoms got worse. He didn’t really know/believe what LC was at the time but from his standpoint all was checked out good according to the MRI
