If your long covid symptoms kind of match up with HIV symptoms, which mine did (not 100% but close enough), then #truvada for #LongCovid might work for you. This is not official endorsement because I might get in big trouble from the government or doctors or whatever but all I'm saying is that no other medication gave me anywhere near this level of improvement that truvada has. Sure. It's not perfect and most days I still feel like shit. But at least I can eat food again even one meal a day without feeling like I'm going to vom and I don't feel like I'm in an actively dying phase, and my head doesn't feel like I've put on a helmet then bashed it around on a wall for many hours at a time.
I have completely valid reasons to believe I was in an actively dying phase before truvada. And now I feel like I'm not dying but still feel like ass. But it's some improvement. I've gone out on my scooter (for very short trips) twice now since the truvada started kicking in (haven't gone out again in a couple of weeks because 1: it has been raining and water damages the scooter
2: I don't need to go anywhere except the dentist next week to assess the damage and I've got a friend taking me so I don't have to lug the scooter into the dentists office. It's kinda awkward and id like to avoid that if I can just because it will be easier to not have to also worry about where I'm going to park it especially if the office is tiny. I never park it on the street because I simply cannot afford to have it get stolen, it's my only mode of transportation and I can't afford to replace it.
3: this last week or so has been quite bad flare up wise. There are improvements but I still have mostly bad days. I'm like. Barely functional but it's enough that I can eat which is like. Huge improvement.
I'm looking forward to trying to put weight back on because I lost soooooo much of it while I was in what I believe to be the active prolonged dying phase. I actually felt like I was dying. It's hard to explain.
I haven't been able to write a long post like this in weeks I've been that unwell.
I cannot stress enough how important it is for you all to wear your masks. Governments are lying to you. You need to wear your masks and have air purification to stay safe. Both. Not one or the other.
Do not catch covid. And if you have had it once. Try your absolute best not to catch it again if you can avoid it.
