In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
nerve damage related to long covid
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
getting covid essentially reactivated the virus in a sense and made the symptoms of all that worse.
Summary
They had COVID at least once and described burning nerve pain that felt like it came from inside, with episodes lasting hours and making them cry; they linked it to long COVID and later found it was more related to herpes outbreaks. They also had pre-existing peripheral neuropathy and herpes, and COVID seemed to reactivate the herpes. By January 2024 a good magnesium supplement, fish oil and time had helped the pain; their overall activity level was not described.
