A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
It sure does. Mines a bit unique afaik though.
I was diagnosed with a swollen optic nerve a few weeks after getting Covid when I realized my vision was going dark in one of my eyes.
They did an mri to rule out any other causes and concluded it was from Covid.
Over then next few months the swelling of the nerve went away but the bottom 1/4 of my vision in that eye is still dark due to the nerve being damaged from it.
Theres been a number of other documented cases of this happening from Covid.
Wow, I'm really sorry that happened to you. I hope you can reasonably expect now that it won't get worse, at least?
Yep! As long as I don’t get Covid again?
It happened over a year ago and my doctor says there’s been no change, and to not expect it to get better either.
In my slightly covid unrelated case, intracranial tension changes cause very subtle sharpness/clearness vision changes. So look out for these things, there might be more problems associated with it! Like IIH, CSF leaks or venous stenosis. It can cause a wide variety of seemingly random neurological pressure changes. Beware of substances affecting it like caffeine, weed, fat-soluble thiamine and Lithium. These can reduce or induce serious problems especially if the intracranial pressure is unstable. And while these might possibly be useful, be aware it is poorly understood overall and can cause damage.
I've been having random chest pain from anxiety for about 15 years.
Welcome to the club that no one wants to be in!
Oh the best thing is when you have GERD and it mimics anxiety symptoms and then you have an anxiety attack because of it.
We Long Covid sufferers really need to put more info like this out in public. Cheers, OP. Wish I could upvote more than once.
I know the chest pain well. POTS is still an issue for me as well.
I'm not 100% sure it's a Long COVID symptom, but ever since I had COVID a few months ago, I've been waking up in the middle of the night with a coughing fit. Not every night, but a lot of nights. It doesn't last that long and I'm able to go back to sleep, so it's not all that debilitating, but I'm pretty sure it's because of COVID.
I might have the same, but I'm not sure if it's only due to dry air. I'm currently monitoring and logging the humidity, and then might buy an air humidifier.
I also have more headaches, not sure if that's because of getting older (I didn't even have headaches when hungover when I was younger xD).
One way to get humidity is to wear a mask. An N95 isn't necessary, you want to be getting plenty of oxygen in your sleep, but a loose-fitting mask will still hold the moisture and warmth from your exhales. And will stay in place better than just burying your head in the blankets.
I have something similar, and something I noticed was if the air I was breathing was a little cold it made it worse, and a space heater made it better, as well as making sure my back/shoulders were fully covered in a blanket to keep the area around my lungs warm. I'm not sure how humidity affects it but maybe changing that could help too.
I feel like there is a hand gripping my heart with the thumb pushing harder in to its flesh. And i had a very mild case of covid a year ago.
I had covid one time, back in the Fall of 2020, and my sinuses where absolutely fucked beyond belief, never had such sinus pains... and then I had absolutely no smell or taste for one and a half years afterwards. I was extremely worried I was going to live life without, but fortunately I did regain those senses. Now every couple months I will get dry coughs that will have me on the verge of throwing up from coughing so hard, it'll last like a day, and then I'm fine until the next time and I'm not sure what causes it.
So, thankfully I only lost taste for like a week or so when I got it in 2022, but the sinus thing? Yeah. That was the worst part. Everything else was minor in comparison. It felt like someone hooked an air compressor to my head.
Covid19 hasnt existed for years. It only appeared about...4 years ago
Why isn't 4 enough "years ago" to count?
Im bad at making jokes
At first i thought covid19 happened less than a year ago
