Restoring the Muscles Lost…?

[GVGnanasooriyam]

I WAS MAINTAINING A REASONABLE MUSCLE MASS DESPITE MY BEING A PERSON WHO HAS TYPE 2 DIABETES SINCE THE YEAR 2000.

RECENTLY, I WAS GIVEN THE COVID-19 VACCINE. THE 1ST DOSE WENT VERY SMOOTHLY, BUT THE 2ND ONE TOOK ME NEAR TO MY DEATH. FROM THE 3RD DAY ONWARD MY BODY WAS SHIVERING ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY FOR OVER A WEEK. I USED TO SOLVE ALL MY HEALTH-RELATED ISSUES WITH MY ENDOCRINOLOGIST IN COLOMBO BUT COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE OF THE ISLAND WIDE LOCK-DOWN.

I COULD NOT EAT OR FOLLOW MY ROUTINE, ESPECIALLY MY CONTROLLED DIETS DURING THOSE DAYS. THE LOCAL DOCTORS GAVE ME SEVERAL MEDICATIONS, BUT I WAS GOING DOWN ALL THE WAY. AT THE VERY FIRST DAY OF RELAXING THE LOCKDOWN I MANAGED TO SEE MY REGULAR DOCTOR IN COLOMBO- MY FBS WHICH IS USUALLY AROUND 120 STOOD AT 293.

WITH PROPER MEDICATIONS IT CAME BACK TO THE NORMAL FOR TYPE 2 WITHIN A WEEK! I AM FEELING WELL AS I USED TO, BUT WITHOUT MOST OF MY MUSCLES…IN THE THIGH, ARMS ETC. LACK OF MUSCLES IN THE DESIGNATED LOCATIONS CAUSING PAINS IN MY JOINTS THAT I'VE NOT EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

MY DESIRE AT 73 YEARS OF AGE STILL IS TO RESTORE THE MUSCLES I WAS MAINTAINING ALL ALONG BUT LOST DUE THE INTRUSION OF COVID-19 THE UNWANTED INTO MY SYSTEM!
