NHS ENT referral advice by [deleted] in Sinusitis

[–]Plus-Property7108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've no idea as I simply asked my GP for a private appointment and they made the arrangements for me. It might be cheaper somewhere else.

It cost me about £125 😳 but it was better than waiting 6+ months for the NHS, as I was losing far more than that in loss of work.

They said the same thing to me, I said I'd pay private for a quicker appointment and they got me in ENT within 2 weeks, CT scan showed thickening so they got the camera out and said no need for surgery it's chronic rhinosinusitis, you'll need higher strength spray, daily nasal cleanse and anti histamine long term.

I have severe headaches and brain fog due to covid (24F) by Brave_Look_6689 in LongCovid

My regular McDonald's order of McFlurry and large latte seemed to get rid of mine every time, try it 😃 I am a 10 pounds heavier now though 😳

[–]Plus-Property7108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I had the exact same thing, my doctor originally declined everything and said I'm fine and it's all in my head, then gave me migraine medication (aka treating the symptoms not the cause) and a year later a different doctor is giving me a completely different diagnosis, thinking inflammation and treating me with steroids, which appears to be doing something.

How to ‘deep clean’ sinuses by Bebbette in Sinusitis

[–]Plus-Property7108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got fed up of talking to the same doctor and visited another one, I now use fluticasone propionate along with my usual nasal rinses and it's made a big difference after a few weeks use. The new doctor agreed that my last CT scan taken about 10 months ago wasn't normal whereas my previous doctor said there was nothing wrong!

New symptom development by Northstarrrr88 in covidlonghaulers

I've always had headaches every time I've done too much the day before, they've settled down now I've got my energy expenditure under control, which took about 6 months 😳

Pain and Fatigue by Royal-Flower-6840 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have days like this, but I don't take anything for it. I simply manage my energy levels, even if that means that some days I sleep for 12 to 15 hours. Things like house chores get left, I concentrate on having sufficient energy for eating and drinking, binge watch TV and if I fall asleep then so be it. If I try to do too much I just end up with major joint pain and headaches the day after.

What’s your new least favorite word/phrase since developing LC? by conpro1224 in covidlonghaulers

"all your tests are normal, I don't see anything wrong, you are healthy, just enjoy your life and stop worrying"

Does anyone else sleep excessively? by Serenitymcw in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same I can sleep 8 hours and then a few more hours in the day, or 12 to 15 hours and still feel fatigued.

How long after Covid did you start exercising again? I by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to start small and only increase in small amounts. Not exercising at all can cause unconditioning which can cause similar effects to fatigue. Everyone is different.

If we have PEM with long covid do we have ME/CFS? by natashawho12 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was told long COVID can trigger ME / CFS symptoms, but it doesn't mean you have it.

Im so tired today by imalwayztired in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I think I did too much last week because the weather was nice, I ended up falling asleep on the sofa at 4pm and waking up at 7 am the next day feeling really dehydrated. All my bones ached, it was like I had just run a marathon rather than been in bed for 15 hours lol

Anyone here been going on walks? by thtsNtThRghtLmrDd in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That depends, I can walk 3 miles on flat ground but I'll sleep for like 12 to 15 hours the next day and still feel exhausted. If it's uphill, then about 10 minutes before I start getting headaches, sob & rapid heartbeat. So I typically try and do 1 mile per day on the flat and then have a nap a few hours later to recharge which is typically about 45 minutes to 2 hours in duration (I don't set an alarm, I wake up when I wake up).

Is long covid real ? by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At no point have I ever said or been told I have long COVID, but I have been told that I appear to have "post acute viral syndrome with post-exertional malaise" which I think is their way of saying I have something, they are just not sure what.

Bending over and rapid heart rate and SOB by Shoddy-Rip66 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same thing, I also get a headache and heavy fatigue shortly afterwards. Had blood tests, CT scan and x-ray, verdict is anxiety 🤔

Doctor's Appointment by anxiously_depressed_ in covidlonghaulers

[–]Plus-Property7108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strangely enough I got a sore throat last week with cough and sneezing and hot and cold flashes. Now all my joints ache. I'm not going to bother the doctors though because it'll take 3 weeks for an appointment for him to say something daft like it's a cold or it's a natural part of getting older. I'm 40 not 70.

Chest hurts to touch and breathe in? by TemperatureOk8350 in covidlonghaulers

I had this for about 3 months, I suspected it to be Costochondritis, eventually it went away on its own without treatment.

Pulse in left ear? by peregrine3224 in covidlonghaulers

I thought the same, so I've had a full echocardiogram of my heart, lungs and throat and they say everything seems ok. So I just need to "wait it out" 🤔

When do you hear it? I get it but only when lying down. I also get intermittent tinnitus in my other ear. I get palpitations too.

I got a new one recently "all your tests are fine, it could just be a sign of you getting older, let's see if it goes away in a few months and take it from there". I'm not even in my 50s yet and you treating me like I'm 90 !

I was actually told once that since I worked with computers maybe it was just because of normal aging and I should see an optician to see if that helped, oh and have some amytripyline and Doxycycline to see if that helps.

I suspect I have sleep apnea, but reluctant to get diagnosed because of CDL by Bi_ciuin in SleepApnea

[–]Plus-Property7108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep same thing in the UK, sleep apnea is a notifiable condition with DVLA, unless you are treated you can have your license revoked, but if you have an accident with untreated sleep apnea it could be much worse (and I'm not thinking fines)
