During my first round of COVID I suddenly developed Terry's nails and extreme exercise intolerance.
The tips of my fingernails were bands of dark red and the rest of my nail bed was completely white. I showed it to something like 5 different doctors and was shrugged off every time. I also started to develop skipping heart beats that got so bad it was happening hundreds of times a day.
Prior to COVID I was highly active 6 days a week and had been for nearly a decade. After COVID I was finding it hard to exercise once or twice a week. This went on for years, all the while I was trying to figure out WTF was going on with me. Eventually I started supplementing copper and my heart issues went away completely within a week. I then started to supplement Iron and my nail beds started to fill back in.
After a month of supplementing I got my Iron/Copper levels checked out of pocket and my ferritin was below range and my copper was just in range. I don't know if I was susceptible to this and COVID kicked me into this territory or what but man was it a shitty ride.
