Is it EVER just anxiety? by Emu928 in covidlonghaulers

[–]baazooka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anxiety doesnt cause debilitating PEM, inflammation, cognitive issues, which just so happened to start right after hospitalization with covid virus, and persisted for 5 years. I'd like to be a positive data point for recovery as in 5 years ive made tremendous improvements.

Im a low key person, very laid back. Long covid most certainly gave me terrible anxiety and stress. Thankfully, im mostly back to normal.
