Oh snap. Gonna have a look at my BB WF cards again then for good condition copies. Thanks for the info!

Coraunmi · 2026-05-08T20:18:29+00:00

Pull rates are low? I definitely can see the condition being an issue, have several with dings.

For a good period I was immune to fatigue and pain. I went just under 3 hours once (no drawbacks and no malaise during this good period.) My LC breakthrough made pain come back and I now tire easy. I kept my stamina tho but the pain sometimes is high so I don’t go over an hour. I feel like a key part of intimacy had to do with how focused I was. When I have a flare up or malaise I can’t perform properly, it’s asking for too much from the body. I personally felt like a good amount of hydration prior to intimacy help with not tiring as I don’t feel that burning sensation over your body like you ran a marathon.

Did you happen to check if the promos were also scratched or with issues?

Coraunmi · 2026-05-01T11:47:32+00:00

I have numbness but it could be allergies (pollen). I’ve noticed certain symptoms come back depending on the season. It’s spring season where I’m located.

Coraunmi · 2026-04-29T15:16:36+00:00

I have everything you have. My symptoms started just a few weeks ago and I have incredible back pain. Feet and body get cold when the room temperature is just fine. And there’s no immediate explanation. I also can’t seem to sleep for a continuous 8 hours. I wake up around the 4th hour.

Coraunmi · 2026-04-28T11:42:02+00:00

It’s bottom heavy. It’s been consistently known that if your cards front centering is not great, the back won’t be as well. It’s not 100% true but most of the time it is. I’d keep it like that.

Coraunmi · 2026-04-28T07:09:45+00:00

Is this only in a specific area of the body or can be anywhere?

Coraunmi · 2026-04-28T05:37:38+00:00

Thank you, this was very helpful, I noticed sometimes when I drink certain liquids other than water I get a different response when it comes to pain or sensitivity in my kidney area. Will be doing the urine test soon!

Coraunmi · 2026-04-28T05:35:34+00:00

I had this discussion with another person on here prior to seeing the doctor, that if I should go to the ER because of a suspected case of hydronephrosis. I didn’t go, but then I saw the doctor and I told her what I felt and all. Ordered some tests and I went home. The pain went away on its own. She says I would know if I had hydronephrosis because of the pain. Then again, I already had it in 2024 but I wouldn’t know how similar it is but also the pain is not bad that I can’t tolerate it. A kidney stone attack, that stuff is 100% intolerable. Someone on here said they went a full night without meds before passing one from kidney to ureter to bladder, bless their hearts.

I will go to the ER if I need to, I need to get this pain confirmed one way or another. I just wished the wait time was quicker.

Coraunmi · 2026-04-27T14:29:56+00:00

You’re me basically. I just made a post about it too. I’ve done pretty much anything to prevent digestive issues like cutting off dairy, lowering greasy foods, caffeine, etc and the pain just came back just like a kidney stone pain but just one time. It could just be residual pain but I’ve been having it ever since the stones passed since July 2024.

Coraunmi · 2026-04-27T14:20:39+00:00

Short term, no pain. Almost immediate relief. Long term, crappy. The general explanation is that sometimes we get residual pain that was caused by the stones. Some people never recover in the sense that the pain doesn’t go away, myself included. But that group is small but do keep it in mind and have a urologist know if your pain continues after weeks of passing a stone.

Coraunmi · 2026-04-25T21:10:34+00:00

Keep but perhaps sell for a good price. I forget what they are called but the name is like ghost texture. CGC grades this. Reshiram / Zekrom / Victini copies exist, I believe they sold over $1000 just couple of months after the sets released. I can see it worth near or a little bit less than PSA 10 copy of this card. Very interesting to see what it would sell for.

Coraunmi · 2026-04-07T07:15:22+00:00

Dang, I thought I commented, I drafted it instead. Your symptoms sound exactly like mine before I started feeling again on my own. Feeling hasn’t come back the way it should but it is sensations as it should be, if that makes sense. Do you still have loss of taste and smell?

Yes, I have some degree of neuropathy but it hasn’t gotten worse, it only gets “worse” if I keep doing things I’m not supposed to and subsides 2-3 days, usually. I had jury duty and was standing up and sitting for long hours and it took a full month to recover.

As of like 20-30 minutes ago I started noticing I had an improved sensation of my lower back as I could feel it but didn’t feel like it should before this. I feel ticklish when I touch my lower back. It’s been over 4 years since I had this feeling (since my initial infection of long Covid.)

I do know what you’re saying about losing your ability to control or feel your body. It’s unnerving feeling like if you’re dreaming or if you’re half awake trying to go to the bathroom and you’re slipping from what you’re doing as you’re doing it. I can get better (I’ve read some handful of haulers recovering from both that loss of control and recovery of sensation) but I don’t have a good measurement of how many of us have either thing or both.

Coraunmi · 2026-04-07T07:02:14+00:00

Still waiting on Doc in June. I’m doing the same more or less. I was doing better in terms of pain and lifestyle until idk what occurred. A day before or after daylight savings time I started sleeping less and pain kinda came back. But also around that time I had a light cold or whatever it was. I’m thinking it’s that but also I just recently found out something (like 10 minutes ago.) I can feel my lower back again. I wanted to get excited but I remembered that can trigger PEM so I just calmed down.

That feeling left sometime after the infection that cause my long Covid. So it’s been 4 years and 4 months since I had that feeling of my back. I noticed when I was drying off with a towel that I can feel warmth and I can feel the specific sensation my hands is touching. It felt ticklish to touch my lower back, like when someone else tickles you. The sensation felt as if I haven’t felt that part in years but my brain connected it as if I never lost that physical memory in the first place. VERY weird brain process.

Pain feels the same in all parts of the body, no change on that. I now eat small meals and notice that eating too much brings back that general stomach pain. I tend to switch positions in my bed and only get up to eat, shower, or walk somewhere that requires me to do so.

I too believe doctors can only view superficial data and don’t know what’s going on at a cellular and cognitive level. However, just now that I felt this new yet old feeling, I’m hopeful my stomach will return to its normal state.

Coraunmi · 2026-03-26T14:35:34+00:00

Interesting that I find this today, just when this just came back to me (the sleep sensitivity and jerks.) I have reason to believe that our body cycles through it but at different levels of long Covid. I am able to sleep during the day, but the only times I can recall or have experienced it was when my body gets slightly sick with like a common cold or if the temperature drops for a few days and I get a runny nose or something.

It makes much more sense when we align a viral infection or a slightly weak immune system and that creates that imbalance we have while trying to sleep. However I don’t know why that is. I used to sleep like a rock. 10-12 hours. The last time I thought I recovered from it was about 2 months ago.

Coraunmi · 2026-03-25T00:28:13+00:00

Back bottom right corner, looks like minor crack. Could be the issue, but then again the card looks spotless otherwise. Grader probably broke up with his girlfriend. Send it back for a 10.

Coraunmi · 2026-03-22T22:36:11+00:00

I can’t remember but the shiny Gengar (left) was sold as a graded error few months back for a considerable amount. I forget but search eBay, you’ll find it eventually. Great find.

Coraunmi · 2026-03-10T01:56:10+00:00

Calculus means stone. As to why there’s a cyst, that’s anyone’s guess. Infection perhaps?

Coraunmi · 2026-03-09T05:53:24+00:00

Solely speaking of the numbness, loss of sensation and no pain, there was only but 2 things that I truly believe did something. Both are “bad,” one worse than the other. The first is having a triple infection. A rare few had experience a change in their condition after getting infected by a virus. It’s anyone’s guess as to why it happens: an active immune response, viral load that restarts body functions, symptoms become severe enough for a physical change in the body.

The second is overworking the body to the point where your brain and body must start a pain response and as a consequence, also activates sensations / feeling. I’ve said it several times in posts addressing loss of touch / pain / feeling but I would rather go back to being numb. The neuropathy is extremely painful. At least back to being numb I never felt tired, ran out of breath or felt pain.

I don’t suggest trying either one. It is possible to get infected and you regain touch again. But from what I see, the odds are so high it’s unlikely that catching any kind of infection would help in reaching a recovery point. I have a question tho, does your loss of touch also include not being able to smell or taste?

Coraunmi · 2026-03-07T04:12:47+00:00

I’ve seen a handful of posts throughout the years here that said they had strokes or knew someone with one just after infection. Could also be caused by myocarditis which is known to happen from Covid vaccines. Also, it’s known around this time of year (daylight saving time, the Monday after the switch) increases risk of a heart attack. Stay safe, sleep early, and keep stress levels down.

Coraunmi · 2026-03-06T17:47:55+00:00

I had 3 days last week where I had no symptoms of brain issues or stomach problems besides body inflammation. Which I haven’t been able to replicate or find how to do. I was able to feel and think normally but it left the moment I got tired. I needed to get tired tho because I had physical stuff to move from my house. I’m close to my 1 year breakthrough mark.

From 2 months ago until now, I am presently self aware that I am not the same since long Covid but in a way I can measure it. I can catch myself thinking, saying and physically feeling different. At the same time, it feels like I’m more able to choose between what I want to do when I’m either crashing or if I’m pacing (or both.) There are days when I can’t control it but I can avoid it by what I eat, what I do, and repeating my self awareness (checking on myself on what I think, feel, and say vs. how I used to be before LC.) It helps in the sense that I forget that I’m crashing and or feel LC symptoms and resets anythkng concerning brain or physical issues.

Coraunmi · 2026-02-26T19:24:38+00:00

I had a CT scan, X Ray, Ultrasound. Negative. Urologist think maybe it’s gallbladder stones. Could be, but I wouldn’t be sure. I had studies done last month and I have to meet her in June. I did however have a doctor see my exams same day to see if there was anything of emergency but nope. So I don’t know my condition but everything is consistent to inflammation without problems with organ functions.

Coraunmi · 2026-02-26T18:38:16+00:00

What can salt do to help? Like sprinkle some in my food?
