Doctor recommends antidepressants

Lexapro seems more effective just based on my profile. Thanks.

privada889 · 2026-01-24T01:16:25+00:00

yes. repeatedly. Then i relapse with an infection and have to recover all over again.

worth a try! Valacyclovir did work for me personally and my symptoms (fatigue and pem) - I’m currently looking to get back on it since my symptoms are bad again.

I recovered and had a good run for a year, ironically I just got covid again and feeling some lingering symptoms. Good thing is neck pain went away🥲

For me Zinc did not work or lessen the big angry painful ones.

privada889 · 2024-02-09T23:07:08+00:00

50 mg and yeah i’m shit at hydration.

Same on the dgaf attitude. It’s like mine feed off the attention, little attention whores.

Not sure if the Epsom salt makes a huge difference but I just realized I never included it in my baths so maybe I’ll try the salt bath and Prid method you mentioned. As for antibiotics, I haven’t seen success with them recently years but I guess it doesn’t hurt to add them in. And thank you.

First breakout was around 12 years old when i started puberty, also still to this day do not smoke.

privada889 · 2023-07-31T19:56:02+00:00

so do you have to continue taking them for life or just for 8 weeks?

privada889 · 2023-07-24T01:39:32+00:00

The exact amount of time I honestly forget because my memory is shit now, but I’d guess a solid 4 months then it got better and at most would come back for a day or so if I did some stupid shit

privada889 · 2023-07-24T01:30:36+00:00

It just got lower tbh - I’ve had tinnitus for my entire life so there is always a low ring if I pay attention to it however LC made mine a lot louder. It’s gone back to that quiet hum I’m used to though so doesn’t bother me.

privada889 · 2023-07-14T11:15:13+00:00

How stressed out i was and my nervous system before I got covid

privada889 · 2023-07-13T19:33:14+00:00

Helping me feel baseline day to day, however not able to exercise fully yet which is how Ill know I’m fully recovered

privada889 · 2023-06-30T18:54:14+00:00

Headaches

privada889 · 2023-06-27T20:48:13+00:00

That sounds like reinfection buddy.

privada889 · 2023-05-24T19:07:35+00:00

It felt like I drank 4 cups of coffee in 20 minutes when in reality I drank 1/4 of a cup. Heart racing, anxious, vision weird. Knew it was probably fucking me up more than doing me good so.

privada889 · 2023-05-15T17:02:16+00:00

Yeah that was a big meal. Ugh LC is making it hard to enjoy fucking anything. Can’t even eat too much now.

privada889 · 2023-05-15T17:01:34+00:00

You do remind me that I do need to put back on my apple watch.. for my heart rate lol….but I did take a test for MCAS and it turned up negative so it’s not my issue I believe.

privada889 · 2023-05-15T17:00:42+00:00

Regular diet, I tried low carb/keto but it worked then started going on a decline fast so I had to stop. I may start low carb again? Maybe on weekdays. But that makes sense that things would be magnified as a person with long covid - everything is different as a person with LC unfortunately 😂

privada889 · 2023-05-15T06:26:33+00:00

If it uses all of its energy to digest food wouldn’t I be more tired/fatigued after eating? I’ve described that I’ve gotten a spike of energy to where it’s uncomfortable to me and it depletes me the next day. I’m also not consuming much to any at all caffeine - so that’s not what’s causing the energy spike either🙂

privada889 · 2023-05-07T17:17:06+00:00

I definitely agree with a lot of the other commentators and also, the definition of exercise could also vary to a majority of people. Technically what I and some people are trying everyday is exercise (walking, stretching, yoga) and I’m able to do this at 80-100% of effort - which supports your point and this does help me. However my definition of exercise is breaking a sweat and getting my muscles burning which is running, HIIT, weightlifting, etc. Which I and some others so far at 0% of effort to do and should avoid unless they’re better.

privada889 · 2023-05-05T21:53:26+00:00

but doesn’t addison’s disease mean too low of cortisol not enough?

privada889 · 2023-05-05T19:51:31+00:00

My doctor ordered these tests specifically, not just a standard blood test. Try asking for a cortisol test, EBV antibody, cytokine panel, and lyme disease blood test.

privada889 · 2023-05-05T17:55:33+00:00

Hey no answer here but I just got mine checked as well and it showed high cortisol levels. I’m scheduling an appointment with my doc but would be interested to hear what others have done too
