multiple illnesses causing depression

[curiousgenxer]

Hi all. I’m looking for a little support. Over the past three years I feel my body has been breaking down. First my Achilles tendon tore, then my back started to throb and gradually got worse. Over the new year I contracted campylobacter food poisoning, over new year which has caused ibs symptoms and a wave of autoimmune reactions all down my right side, from joint inflammation to stiffness. I can barely walk now with my back and heel pain, I have palpitations, no appetite, I’ve lost 21lbs in 6 weeks, I have constant fatigue and my anxiety is through the roof. I have had to quit working and I feel I’m close to rock bottom. Any support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That's a lot. Being unable to walk is terrible. My heart goes out to you. I hope things get better soon.

If you don't mind me asking ....did you ever have Covid?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. last year, I had COVID I think, not confirmed though . My tendinitis and joint pains began 2 weeks after the COVID vaccination. The campylobacter food poison have exasperated everything

Often after even a mild case of Covid you are left with recurring symptoms of joint pain, tiredness, and your immune system to fight off other illness is compromised. It's called Long Covid.

Oh no, that sounds so difficult. We are here to support you. I hope life gets easier soon.
