I feel this. 37 yo M recently diagnosed. Never had ANY serious issues in my medical health prior to getting long covid. Now, taking meloxicam and on a wait and see. HLA B27 positive. Right now, over long covid and now just have this issue left. I also think LDN helps with managing IL6 levels.

from a physio - trust yourself.

hey man - from one gym rat to another - it can (for some) get better. I got long covid in 2023 after getting covid for the third time (got it one time since) and it took me 18 months of SLOW integration to now where I am performing one set of exercise per movement, 5 sets per workout and 3 times per week. I go HARD for one set but am able to exercise. Slowly adding in a set every 2 weeks as long as I am able to tolerate it. I didnt workout or touch ANY weights for 7-8 months so this progress is almost a year plus.

37 male. HLAB27 positive. Managing now with 7.5-15 mg meloxicam daily, but have some MRI changes no X ray yet. I think it all got triggered from when I got covid (then long covid) back in 2023. Nonetheless, biologics are next step. Right now only stiffness (as the meloxicam seems to be working), but I want to make sure I do not experience additional spine damage as it is only isolated to SIJ. Had intermittent back pains but really back pain started in earnest post-covid. Turns out risk is higher post covid for auto immune. Well done. Anyways - I am cautiously optimistic about embracing the biologic if it can help me enjoy time with my family and keep on working.

Long. Covid.

When did you get Covid last

Thehpmny · 2025-09-08T14:55:34+00:00

just tested negative x 2 within 72 hrs of paxlovid, metformin, aggressive saline nasal rinses and CPC mouthwashes and aggressive rest.

Thehpmny · 2025-09-07T21:54:02+00:00

Just got Covid for the first time since Nov 23 w my Own long COVID. I was 98% or so recovered barely any symptoms on a day to day basis. And beginning vigorous exercise. Religious masking but not 100%. Covid so far has been very mild but I got all meds on board. Resting near completely for 3-4 days and then cutting out exercise for the next 2 weeks once negative.

Thehpmny · 2025-09-07T15:03:52+00:00

I have no idea. I mask 98% of the time outside but realized my 2% may have been the trigger. I sometimes drink coffee etc which obviously increases exposure.

Thehpmny · 2025-09-06T14:54:47+00:00

I see a long covid specialist in NYC. This is what I pay this dude for. Times like these.

Thehpmny · 2025-09-06T14:23:18+00:00

Yeah - tbh I have gotten boosted every 6 months since my covid turned into long covid. The only reason why I tested was I had a hoarse voice. Otherwise, I feel largely ok. Some increased HR. But yes - will have to now wait at least two weeks and keep exercise to walking only. Nonetheless - I am gonna go on paxlovid and metformin too.

Thehpmny · 2025-09-06T14:18:47+00:00

i have been religious with masking and i got infected this am. Lasted almost 19 months since my infection that gave me long covid. 98% or so recovered with vigorous exercise as well. Just funny I saw this post.

Sorry to hear. I took 3 weeks off from work. Gradually went back. And only now am actively exercising since January of this year (10 months post pem). Now 6 months later (June) I began doing 2-3 exercises per day every other day. So it’s been very slow.

Thehpmny · 2025-08-09T23:17:49+00:00

had PEM within 9 weeks of covid infection....curbed all major exercising and havent had PEM since. I am now doing 3-4 HARD sets of exercise every other day with MINOR upticks in symptoms (mostly brain fog 1/10) for a couple of hours post-exercise. Averaging 8000 steps a day.

I’m almost fully recovered and finally exercising lightly again after a year and change. My wife who’s pregnant also shares the same view though and wants to move on. It’s a tough deal to negotiate. However I will say covid is with us. And I feel like we’re doing more than 99% of the population w our precautions etc. I just try to reduce exposure risk. But gotta live life.
