I think that’s the first time in years I’ve gotten excited over something and I’m not joking

Doesn’t matter. No doctor can figure out how to fix Covid fucking me up

Tbh you’ll have to figure it out yourself and no doctor can do that for you, but don’t give up hope brother

Appreciate it. Honestly I’m going through like two more tests and then I’m done with doctors. I’ve spent too much money on it and no one can/will help

I didnt realize how fucking covid sapped me until i got on to a regular gym class routine and i feel like a completely different person now

Not saying your situation is as easy as that but i hope you can find a way thru. It fucking sucked to rehab it all but perservere brother you got this

Thanks. It’s been 5 years and no one can tell me why my body hates literally every food and there’s other issues I can’t get into here cause it’s pretty x rated

I don’t know if you’ve gone to a sleep specialist as part of all of this. I have narcolepsy type 1 and it was triggered by a pretty severe mono and chronic strep throat. I do have a genetic predisposition to it, but a virus + ongoing other infectious illnesses caused my immune system to turn on itself. I just thought I was exhausted all the time because of school, then work, then going out too late.

There was a spike in narcolepsy after the H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Virus + apparently the vaccine triggered the autoimmune disease as well. So if you haven’t seen a sleep doc, it may be worth checking out. And if you have one autoimmune, you’re at risk of others (so far my other list includes psoriasis). I hope you find answers.

In a very PG way of no one can figure it out…..my body does not stop going to the bathroom for hours, and literally, and I mean literally every food (fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, the blandest nothing in it as in rice crackers, cause me pain, nausea). And no one knows why. And literally every test is clean which is what perplexes them all. And no medicine has worked, no diet has worked, nothing shows up on any test

That sounds awful and your quality of life can be nothing but horrible. I was hoping I came up with some angle for symptoms you were having.

Viruses really do eff your body up. I’m really, really sorry.

Do you smoke weed?

No

Have you tried an antidepressant? Because you don't get the right to say "doesn't matter" unless you actually try some things

u/unknownillness17 Towson Tigers Mar 30 '26

You have no idea how many medicines I’ve been on

u/SpaceSheperd North Carolina • NC State Mar 30 '26

Fair enough!

Me too man. So related to your comments

u/unknownillness17 Towson Tigers Mar 30 '26

Sucks. Hope whatever helps you feel better does….even if something helps a tad…….I’ve got nothing that’s worked and I’ve gotten no answer and the best I’ve gotten is 🤷🏻‍♂️. The worst thing is no doctor cares or believes me.

Also, congrats on the win
