i had a relatively mild Covid experience, very fatigued and it affected my chest/breathing but didn't need any medical care.

since then, i have experienced a range of symptoms less common to the ones we see every day. ive listed them below in order that they came and went

ache in my arm (lasted a week)

trouble sleeping (lasted a month)

shaking (was very rare)

tingling in my feet and legs (lasted a few weeks)

neuropathy (warm, tingling feet mainly at night and this lasted around 7 weeks)

Muscle twitches (ive had these for 5 weeks and counting)

all this is having a real impact on my mental health, im not sure if its long covid of if its anxiety as i have struggled mentally to deal with these symptoms. many of them are symptoms of other serious neurological issues and thats worrying me.

has anyone had anything similar with any advice?

Thanks

    Hey! Its almost the same with me! I had Covid 3 months ago, and since then i have body widespread muscle twitching, it is there almost all the time, and as you, i started to think that it is something more serious... recently ive started to sleep better, which was real problem for 2 months after covid, but twitching, tingling, and occasionally some strange feeling in my feet that are too weak (but when i use them they have strength) make me feel terrible. Ive noticed that if i sleep well (without hundreds of wake at the night) and long enough, twitches are less active. I told about these to my neuro and he recommended me to take B complex vitamines, he thinks i have some neuropathy because of covid and it will take more time to fully recover. I was shaking too, especially during some activity, but I think passed through it by regular using of all muscle group through all daily tasks. Hope you will get better soon, write what is going on with you!

      hi bud, we do sound as though we have very similar symptoms. i am 2 months into the end of my isolation period. the muscle aching came and went with in 3-4 weeks, the neuropathy (warm and tingling feet at night) stopped 11 days ago now which has really helped my sleeping. the twitching is only when i sit down or lie down and i too was having some shaking in my left arm but that has subsided a lot. I would say the twitching is much less than it was around 2 weeks ago so i am hoping it will resolve itself. also, its seens to be mainly in my calves and thighs now. it does happen else where in my body but much less than before

      i had blood tests done 3 weeks ago and they all came back ok, i am seeing my doctor for the first time on tuesday so will see what comes from that.
