Just leave a comment if you're COVID long hauler. In other words, if you had COVID and have symptoms 3+ months later. Also mention symptoms, blood type (if you know it) and any odd health quirks you had before COVID

Want to do personal research, will share my insights.

So far what they know is that Long-term COVID is extremely linked to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). MCAS has many similar symptoms as LH, and both have sense of smell implicated--aspirin is said to fix this in MCAS. MCAS patients who were already being treated for MCAS this year did not develop COVID, so that's the smoking gun.

I personally had it in March, still have symptoms. Mainly POTS tachycardia, especially while peeing. Also big O2 drops that go back to 99--these are worse when I haven't eaten carbs. Also recurring hemorrhoids that come and go in cycles.

I also have MCAS symptoms since puberty (27 now). Prickly itching sensations with spicy foods, pain in my hair follicles, random burning in my eyes, many others too. Most of these would go away in a matter of minutes so I never seeked medical help for them.

    I had COVID about a month and a half ago. I haven’t noticed too many long term symptoms as of yet but I have had tighter lungs than i usually do.

    I don’t know if it’s a coincidence cuz I’ve also had uncharacteristically bad allergies/sinus problems this season (I always have bad allergies but it’s been crazy bad the last 2-3 months).

    But yea a bit of difficulty catching full breaths but that’s all I’ve noticed thus far
