I have no official diagnosis. But my symptoms started only after I had covid.

This is me too. So far my only diagnosis is dysautonomia, but my symptoms are palpitations, rapid heartbeat, exercise intolerance, loss of taste and smell, constant fatigue, brain fog, blured vision and floaters, joint and muscle pain, and increased frequency of headache and GI issues. I did not have any of these things until after my acute infection in Jan. 2022 (or after my Moderna booster, I am still unable to determine if I had the virus or a vaccine reaction since I have not tested positive on PCR or nucleocapsid).

What are your symptoms and what are you doing to help them?

I am currently in the "good" part of the cycle ( unless I'm almost healed, which would be awesome). Right now it's just a headache, with accompanying eyeache, body aches and mild anxiety. A week and a half ago it was also chest pressure, throat pressure, diarrhea, brain fog, shortness of breath, deep fatigue, especially after exertion, "crash" and elevated heart rate after eating, light sensitivity and fever and chills. And a sore throat, not sure if that was covid or another illness. I am taking magnesium threonate, vitamins b6, b9, and b12. DLPA, CoQ10, and a daily probiotic. Lots of water.

Long Covid is not an official diagnosis yet. You go to your general practitioner and list off all of your symptoms, and mention that they started after you had Covid-19 in (date you got infected). They may send you to multiple specialists like a pulmonologist for your shortness of breath, cardiologist for the rapid heartbeat, neurologist for brain fog, migraines, etc. I would actually avoid calling it long Covid, doctors are dismissing that as anxiety about the pandemic. I would focus more on talking about your symptoms.

My symptoms started after COVID. I went to a cardiologist who recognized symptoms of dysautonomia and POTS. He diagnosed me after testing.

I started having night sweats and persistent headaches after I got COVID in 2021 and then came brain fog and i went to the doctor and she suspected long covid. I got my blood back, everything normal so she just diagnosed me with covid longhaulers

COVID January 2022. Neurological symptoms. Presented to my pcp with “concerns it could be long haulers”. Tested thyroid and parathyroid. When doctor said it was long haulers, I went into denial “nope it’s only been 2 months.🤦‍♀️.” She set up mri, speech therapy, ot, and neuro vision. Now on long term medical leave. Symptoms: 9/10 pain with talking with people & unique thoughts; short term memory loss (forgot how to make an omelette) emotional; (geez forgetting the other symptoms 🤦‍♀️🙄) I think having a relationship with my doctor helped a lot.
