Does Anyone With RA And Post Covid Syndrome Experience Added Problems With Fatigue, Brain Fog, Joint And Muscle Pains?
I contracted COVID19 in Jan 2021 and was subsequently diagnosed with Post Covid Syndrome. Since that time my fatigue, brain fog, sleep difficulties and pain in both joints and muscles has increased.

Thanks Jackie. Symptoms are awful and I hope you find the best treatment for you. I am definitely struggling more physically and emotionally since having covid. However the support I get from this forum and RA warriors like you is great.
I was diagnosed with RA after having Covi19 in September of 21, RA diagnosed in April of 22. My numbers for blood tests can look great but my symptoms are horrible. My doctor has treated me based on my symptoms not my numbers he said they don't always match what your body is doing. Swelling, pain, fatigue, and brain fog are the worst. Haven't found a treatment that has made everything go away yet but it seems like Covid19 made things much worse.
Thank you Maggie. Much appreciated ❤️
