Hello,
M21
For some context, I have the HLAB27 gene and autoimmune issues. I'm currently on Immunosuppressants (tofacitinib 10mg), but wasn't at the time of the vaccines or the covid infection.
I haven't found that the immunosuppressants have had any effect on my symptoms.
I don't smoke, but did smoke weed rarely when this started.
The past few years I have been dealing with symptoms from long COVID, along with some symptoms I developed after I got the COVID vaccine. (I got 2 Pfizer doses when they first came out, no boosters)
I got almost all of the following symptoms after I got COVID, not from the vaccines. I just thought I should mention the vaccines since I do have HLAB27 and Ankylosing Spondylitis, which could have caused my immune system to react too strongly or abnormally.
My symptoms are:
-Chronic wet cough (this is what concerns me most, it has been going on for a few years.)
-Brain fog (this has the most effect on my quality of life.)
-difficulty concentrating
-tremor
-heart palpitations
-nausea
-weight loss
-Lightheadedness
-anxiety
-dizziness
-POTS
-fatigue
I'm just hopeless that this will ever get better. I don't think people my age should have to deal with this.
It seems like there's nothing I can even do. I'm a powerlifter and athlete. The POTS, brain fog, and anxiety make it so difficult to be happy and do what I love.
I'd truly appreciate some help on this. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
