Club Long Covid

[MrHew]

Hey all. I had Covid back in Feb and still suffering with fatigue, chest pain, brain fog (although MrsHew might say that's not new) and random joint pains. 

I assume I'm not the only on these forums who's suffering so thought I'd set up a place where we can support each other, share things that are working, moan about it when we need to vent.

That doesn't sound like fun at all. I had it back in March last year, took me months and months to get over being breathless walking up stairs / cycling, and I struggled to concentrate most days (arguably still do lol). Most noticable ongoing thing is that I still have a dulled sense of smell 17 months on, but my chest is back to normal.

Hopefully gives you some hope that it can get better, and hope it does for you 👍

It certainly does give hope, thank you 🙂 Glad you're chest is ok now. 
Hopefully the sense of smell will come back fully. Although that could be a useful thing when using the long drops...

Compost toilets FTW 😁

March 20th last year. Still fucked. 

Smell and taste still wrong. Lethargic. Sore chest. Sore heart. Brain fog. Weight gain. 

Over it.

My sense of taste has weirdly gone the other way - even fairly bland seasoning can  make it difficult for me to eat. Thought that it would have rectified by now, 8 months on, but seems worse than ever.

I know the nhs has had some money put in … what help are they offering ? I suppose the ailments after are so varied … good luck to you all … hope it resolves it self in time ..

Had it in Feb, took a while shake it off but still don't have the energy I used to have, lucky really compared to others as smell taste and lungs all seem OK so far. I know younger people who are still feeling effects 12 months on and I really feel for everyone still suffering.
