That sounds horrible, melfish, and yes of course you can ask. I'm 16 weeks post-Covid, so a bit further down the line. I've got strange neurological issues that prevent me falling asleep at night - very stressful, exhausting. Like electric shocks. Also an increased startle-reflex so that the slightest little thing gives me an unpleasant jolt. Oh, and vertigo, but that may be just coincidental. I hope that you start to recover soon - it's really horrible.
@melfish i had covid November last year. I’m still having what I’m calling covid flashback days and episodes. My body has days where it has all the covid symptoms I had, so much so I have tested myself twice just incase I’ve caught it again (both negative). There are days I can’t smell anything. Days I smell things not there. My taste and smell is off too, nowhere near as keen as it used to be. Almost every day I have an attack of coughing, which I thought was allergy but it doesn’t respond to taking an antihistamine. And
@ginnyw I am having regular attacks of vertigo, some days so severe all I can do is lay still until it passes. My memory is appalling, some days I can’t remember from one minute to the next what I’m doing or was about to do. Plus, my Fitbit and my Ōura ring keep telling me I have a temperature again, which I shouldn’t have because I take CoCodamol, for pain, daily.
There’s so much more I could add but on top of the severe ME/CFS I already had I can’t give my attention to anything as I’m just so exhausted and unfocused.
