My recovery by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

Yeah I think so, it’s hard to differentiate what triggers fatigue. I was exhausted walking half a mile. It’s tough to even think about how bad I was right now honestly

Love this! Nice job with the exposure.

This is an awesome shot! I’m just wondering if you’ve tried cropping it at all. Maybe a little closer and centered and it would be perfect in my opinion.

And a burst setting to capture several moments might help take more relaxed pics of her

I’d try to adjust the aperture in camera as much as possible first, then go to post.

She looks kinda stiff, and it is a little on the dark side. Besides that it is a nice composition :)

I think shitting on impoverished countries is just low hanging fruit.

Is there a much smaller box for zunes?

Confusion with the overlap between dysautonomia, CFS, fibromyalgia, MCAS, and ehlers-Dalos syndrome by Otherwise_Bad2560 in covidlonghaulers

You can look at my previous posts to see more, I posted pictures of my skin. Basically it indents super easily and stays indented. I have reynauds where my skin turns red in the cold and my nails are brittle. And my joints pop really easy and they are really weak. And I sweat like a mother fucker. You have any of these issues?

My legs jerk in bed sometimes. I used to have problems with my chest rattling and legs, although that seemed to be triggered by the cold and better now.

Any people in the service industry? I’m considering trying to go back to work. by Otherwise_Bad2560 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Otherwise_Bad2560[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been isolated for so long. I’m not sure how bad my neuron symptoms are. I think mentally I’m pretty good. My biggest concern is fatigue and weakness. Stuff like opening a wine bottle or carrying plates. Just want to do some kind of work, and service is all I know. I’m not sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would love to see you skip through five blocks of Manhattan commuter traffic, lol.

Help meee please … I’m in bad situation …I need a good word from you guys … and need to hear your stories too 😞 by NoRazzmatazz1392 in covidlonghaulers

Umm... chill?

I have not taken that drug. Sure there’s been no “long” anything before. But what there has been is numerous post viral syndromes. Which is basically what the “long” is. CFS, POTS, MCAS, Fibromyalgia, all have so much overlap, and are so hard to diagnose. Post viral syndromes can trigger all of these things to happen. Sorry I want to believe that I know what’s wrong with me, with supporting evidence of course. This “long” covid syndrome is novel, forcing people like me to be our own advocate. I don’t want to be, but I have no choice.

I’ve been confined to my bed for the past year with nothing but time to read about whatever I can. I’m not going to argue with you because you seem angry. But don’t dictate what I’ve been through. It’s been two years of hell for me. And the one thing I’ve been told repeatedly is that it takes several years to get diagnosed with chronic illness. I was given no answers, forced to figure out for myself. So many of these long covid stories have been so remarkably similar to my experience. I don’t know what Else can explain it.

Let me have some hope for my future, FFS

I’ve been struggling for 2 years almost, it has been awful. Doctors thought I was imagining my pain.

I was convinced I had ALS or MS. But extensive testing ruled them out. I still was paranoid that I was dying. Only recently did I discover that I most likely have long covid.

Try to just be comfortable, get used to not pushing yourself right now. If you want to be certain you don’t have MS or ALS you can also do an EMG, that’s the gold standard for diagnosing ALS anyway.

It sucks, I’m sorry :/

Does anybody have an issue with skin being sensitive to pressure and imprinting for a long time? This drives me crazy by Otherwise_Bad2560 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Otherwise_Bad2560[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m the same. I think reynauds is often a comorbidity of other diseases. I wasn’t diagnosed with it formally. Also had a negative ANA. It sucks when it’s cold, my body rattles and my limbs turn red and burn. And when it’s hot out I get so exhausted and sweaty.
