Does anyone know the average time length of long covid.Im in my seventh month with debilitateing symptoms. Chronic pain is very high. Palpitations , stomach and skin problems. I'm so weary. Will this ever end.

Everyone is different, but for me, I’m 2.5 years in with long covid and fibromyalgia, in some ways I’m a lot better than I was, but I think it’s due to learning to live with it and trying numerous ways to try and help my symptoms x

I had Covid 3 years ago I think. My fibro symptoms got alot worse at the time, and then slightly better (but worse than before covid) after 3-4 months, I’m still very affected by it now and see the lock ‘long covid’ team, they seem to think what I’m experiencing is ver try common and the new normal. I just hope all the studies they are doing find treatments to help with lo ng covid but they just don’t know yet.

I’m also aware covid seemed to impact my hormones and other functions somehow (I’m waiting on a specialist) I have read about a few different examples in papers related to covid.

You may still experience some improvement but from my experience and what the long covid team said to me it may be about ‘doing less’ and adjusting to the new normal best you can.

It’s horrid and the Comorbidity makes of feel especially nasty.

Sorry too read this and hope getting helpful replies, helps alittle, I have a friend who is on going in his 2nd year and I do hear ,any people with or without Covid still have ongoing symptoms, because I have CFS which is auto immune I have constantly been catching viral bugs the last 6 months more than I ever did, I said too the doc about it but as yet don’t have answers and hopefully studies will come up with new information eventually, take care and take one day at a time.

Thanks for your reply and everyone else too. I must say I am horrified when everyone mentioned years. It looks like somehow I will have to adapt.I too have cfs and it's totally wiped me out. I will have to pace myself more carefully and try not to get too down. Thankyou.
