I've had Covid 3 times, each time with debilitating migraines that lasted for months afterwards. Concurrently, I've also had an increase in my brain fog and fatigue issues.

And... the research on the subject is not particularly reassuring. >=^(

I just got the news that Reese & Sleep both caught Covid this week.

Reese had it really bad last year at this time and it fucked up her system for over 9 months and may have contributed to other issues that required surgery! She was just so fucking sick. We barely saw her at all ( Read more... )

If you've been following along, you may have noticed that I put some pieces together regarding my health set-backs recently. Every time I get Covid, it seems I get a mild sort of cold along with some loss of taste, but only in one spot-- and THEN, after the cold is over, I get migraines for anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks.

Well, it seems there are no rheumatologists available in my area... I've had 3 phone calls and several emails as the Community Health clinic where I see my doctor tries to find me someone to take me on as a new patient.

Maybe just a bad cold, but given the symptoms I've had (wheezy cough, terrible headache, dizziness, glass-grinding stomach ache...) I think there's a good chance it's the latest Omicron variant. Maybe not, and I've had my vaccine and booster (J&J/Jansen lasts 9 months to a year) ( Read more... )

Delta variant put the kabosh on the whole "post-pandemic summer" idea last year-- so this is it, but it almost seems anti-climatic, because it's such a slow start. At least Omicron is not as deadly as previous versions of Covid, so things are proceeding apace this year-- and being outdoors is the best options for gatherings anyways, so there's that ( Read more... )
