It's super super common for people to recover from covid, be okay for a few weeks or even months and then lapse into long covid. In fact, it's relapse-remitting for many people. If you have symptoms of dysautonomia, this can be barely symptomatic until you do something that triggers an exaggerated sympathetic nervous system response.
- refurb 4y agoOf course symptoms can wax and wane, but that's not what the grandparent claimed. They claimed a person would have zero Covid symptoms (and thus be excluded from the trial), which would skew the results. As per the trial design, if a patient had any symptoms of Covid and a positive Covid test, then they could be included. And despite a battery of tests, there was no physiological difference between those patients and the controls who had never been infected with Covid.
- mancerayder 4y agoIs Dysautonomia permanent? I had some symptoms of it two weeks after testing positive but now I'm living under the spectre of a lifelong disablement. Or, I'm overthinking it. I'm slowly ramping up exercise, my only symptoms are some sleep issues as well as a relatively anxious malaise but there are a lot of life stressors unrelated to the illness I recently recovered from.
- jinder 4y agoNo I don’t think it’s permanent - mine seems to be slowly and progressively improving. You almost have to retrain your autonomic nervous system on a step by step basis.
