I'm a long hauler, I've had COVID 4 times and have been chronically ill since November of 2021 and have had 4 strokes they believe are related to COVID or the vaccine.

Has Anyone Else Experienced A Loss Of Pain Sensation?
A myCOVIDteam Member asked a question 💭

For example, I had a middle ear infection and found out accidentally and the GP exclaimed, "Aren't you in pain?"
Had an abscess near the root of a broken molar almost 11 days and was unawares until the dentist asked "Aren't you in pain?" Suffered from shingles, no pain to speak of, took a week before visiting my GP to investigate prickly sensation on one side of my scalp and sores/blisters...no real pain, though others who've had shingles speak of excruciating pain.

Has Anyone Else Had Alot Of Hair Loss After Covid?
A myCOVIDteam Member asked a question 💭

I had very bad covid in January, doctors were not sure I would live the first few days, I remember going to the hospital, then nothing, was in the hospital almost a month, lost the use of my legs which are almost ok now. But I am losing alot of hair, I can see my scalp on top, am afraid I will end up bald, it's quite stressful. If there are any of you that went through this, could you please give me some advice, is there something I can use? Thank you very much, it's getting scary.

Hi All

I contracted Covid in May 2022, and despite not being seriously ill, are still struggling with the Long Covid symptoms to this day.
