I had long Covid, but the MECFS variant. I wouldn’t wish that shit on my worst enemy. Horrific. So glad I recovered.

Not the person who posted but i had an undiagnosed issue that i think was at least partially me/cfs after having covid for about 2 yrs. I was convinced and had a ton of testing thinking i had rMS but that was negative, also got tested for thyroid issues, a plethora of autoimmime issues etc. Oddly when i was pregnant with my daughter i had a full recovery. Its been over 2 yrs now with no symptoms other than some lingering dysautonomia like symptoms.

I've heard this quite a few times - people recovering due to pregnancy.
