Hi.
Had M.E / CFS for around 20 years and fibromyalgia for around 2 years after a back injury. In November I caught Covid, which was a relatively case with headaches and loss of taste and smell. After about a week I started with extreme fatigue and numbness in my limbs and head. Also had severe brain fog and short term memory loss. I constantly forget what I am doing and where I have put things down. It is now February and I'm still having the same problems. I'll have a relatively good day followed by 2 or 3 days where I am wiped out and can breathe get out of bed and concentrate. I've had blood tests which show liver damage and I'm currently tapering off duloxetine as it may cause liver problems but doctors think it was the covid. I've moved over to pregabalin which so far have massively helped with sleep compared to the duloxetine. I'm currently signed off work sick with diagnosis of long covid. Has anyone else had the same experiences and can share what they have found useful for coping. Thank you in advance
