Now. Got Long Covid and by now I can only leave the bed to take a dump. My GP dropped me because I can't come to them. But I need one to sign off on a study I'm about to be part of starting next week. But none of the GPs around here take on new patients.

Guess I'll just die a very slow death. I'd rather be killed with a spoon.

I strongly suspect long COVID is a neuropathy issue. I suffered from it in a horrible way in 2020 and didn't really get better until 2022 after treating myself with high levels of vitamin B9 and medicines for neuropathy such as cymbalta, or even better, Lyrica.

I am now undergoing cancer treatment and I have fatigue and weakness for sure but NOTHING COMPARES TO LONG COVID.

Yes. I have literal cancer and long COVID was worse. I am taking cymbalta because of how traumatic the fatigue and brain fog long COVID was and maybe that's just really helping.

Either way, I really hope you get better ASAP, please don't give up!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the remission! Hope you get the same soon with your cancer!

Just got through my last chemo Friday! I haven't been declared cancer free yet but August 20th should be the day!
