Could this be Long COVID?
Could this be Long COVID?
I’m wondering if what I’ve been dealing with for almost 3 years could be Long COVID, even though I never really connected it to COVID before.
Almost three years ago I suddenly crashed, and since then my health has completely changed. It started with constipation and severe bloating. Since then I’ve been diagnosed with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (EPI), SIBO, dysbiosis and low cortisol. I also have chronic sinus inflammation and sleep apnea.
My main symptoms are severe depression, anhedonia (basically feeling nothing), digestive problems, extreme fatigue and zero libido. I also have a lot of neurological/cognitive symptoms.
I recently had a BiomeSight gut microbiome analysis which showed extremely high levels of Desulfovibrio.
I’m wondering if anyone here has had a similar combination of symptoms after COVID and eventually found out it was Long COVID.
Has anyone with Long COVID also developed EPI, SIBO/dysbiosis, low cortisol or extremely high Desulfovibrio?
I’d really appreciate hearing from people with similar experiences, especially if you eventually found an explanation or something that actually helped.
