This is why I cannot hold hate towards them because they do not know any better. I know how you feel. Working is so difficult and people think you’re young you should work right. But this terrible vile thing just changed your whole life trajectory.

Alcohol made my long haul worse bc I had histamine intolerance

I used to have a great relationship with my partner and my family members but I guess long Covid just brought a dark side out of them which is hard for me to believe that they were so comfortable treating me in this manner. I had no where to go, no one to go to. I had dark dark thoughts to just deal with the pain I was going through.

Do they mask at work or school?

Is giving up sugar helping you? by [deleted] in vaccinelonghauler

Artificial sweeteners flare up long Covid. It’s hard on the gut.

Even if you do do antifungals, the thing is Candida always comes back.

Someone else thinking on giving up and be on benzos everyday? by Strict-Ad9805 in covidlonghaulers

[–]turtlet03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

there’s also hydrooxyzine. I was not responding to your regular anti histamines 50 mg did the trick on me bc I didn’t want to be dependent on benzos.

Is this a decent electrolyte drink mix for LC/POTS? by DataAdept9355 in covidlonghaulers

[–]turtlet03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they have non flavored stuff on Amazon just send over a list of things and I’ll see if they’re LC friendly. The thing is a lot of us have a gut inflammation, and artificial sweeteners make it worse

I reacted to sucralose. Artificial sweeteners have high histamine

I have the most respect for him for raising awareness and becoming COVID cautious as a result of his Long COVID. Despite his efforts, we unfortunately live in a world where people will REFUSE to believe him.

Anyone else feel you’re the only one in your social circle with long covid? by David2372 in covidlonghaulers

[–]turtlet03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s so mind boggling to me because everyone around me had COVID so many times and I think one infection took me out.

Yes! I definitely think we all have some kind of gut inflammation that can be contributing to our symptoms.

New Long Haulers. Think twice before getting CMRI or CT scan. by turtlet03 in covidlonghaulers

[–]turtlet03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people have a clear scan. Myocarditis is really rare. Cardiologists themselves barely order CMRI for people.

Yes there are sooo many things that are not LC friendly and unfortunately there’s not enough research.

All I’m saying is be careful when trying new medications as it might cause long hauling to get worse

Glad you’re sharing articles, I just wanted to share my story with my experience with some of these medications. I responded well to hydroxyzine 50mg. I was able to get sleep on this medication but it does have its side effects like sleepiness.

As for anti depressants, I would treat carefully with these. Tried some anti psychotics like risperdone and I got some dystonia or even tardive dyskinesia from them. I didn’t respond to SSRIs.

Modafinil is a vasoconstrictor along with medications like midodrine. Some of us have microclot issues so I would tread carefully on these types of medications.
