So there I was....
After struggling with feeling like dogshit for six months after getting jabbed, I met with a group of doctors. They essentially told me I had long covid, what ever the fk that is, and to supplement. Vitamins B and D, and to take 4-5000 iu of each per day. Well, it was like kicking me in the ass and jump starting me....until it wasnt. I started feeling worse and worse over time, until I just couldnt take it anymore. My mind was messing with me, my bones ached a lot, especially my legs. Walking stairs, bending over, getting in and out of the truck got extremely difficult.
I started asking questions. Am I just getting old, do I possibly have lupus or something like that that? Am I just not limber because I have been struggling for two years? Nope, nope and nopetey nope. After some serious discussion, blood tests, and thought, there it was hypercalcimia or some thing like that. Basically ,too much calcium in the blood. Who knew that shit could mess one up like that? Any hooch, after a week and a half of stopping all that shit, and getting treated, I am starting to feel almost human again. Its been a while. Sorry to tell you, not dead yet. |

From what I just read, My opinion is consider yourself fortunate.
Covid is/was the excuse for everything, back in 2020, and it still remains today. My wife was mis-diagnosed with long term covid back in 2020. The whole household got it, and I spent 2 weeks hospitalized (lung congestion), with 2 months of oxygen supplemental post hospitalization end of 2020. By 2021, The Mrs had dropped 25 lbs during this period (135 down to 110), Drs surmised stomach problems due to Covid. She had a few Dr appointments with a Rhumologist(sp), a Cardiologist, and lastly, a nutritionist (WTF). Not one of them ever ordered so much as an x-ray. All suspected long term covid. She started losing her equilibrium in August. I got her a GP visit, and they did a cognitive test that day, which she failed miserably. Ordered an MRI - 3 weeks out. Sitting at home the next week, she was so badly confused, I called the GP to ask for an ER visit, to get the MRI right away. He approved. MRI showed Stage 4 cancer in the brain, left lung, and lymph nodes above the lung. America, greatest Country in the world, medicine wise. Not so much during the covid area. It failed us miserably. Sorry about the long shit show rant. But I wish you the best. |
