Hidradenitis Suppurtiva, heart and lung damage directly from Covid 19. Additionally, I had severe vertigo and Peripheral Artery disease develop.

With the PAD on top of that I literally may have to apply for disability. The constant pain makes it hard to walk, much less work.

Because of the vertigo, they did an MRI and I could directly see the anomalies that must have been related to the brain fog that people get. It's the same type of anomalies that people with severe migraines get (something I never had).

Another weird thing. I no longer get fever and no longer regulate internal temperature as well (especially cold). It's as if COVID burned out my thermostat, or did something to my hypothalamus.

Covid long term effects can be bad for some people. I wish you the best in your recovery and struggle.
