Then something strange happened: My toes began to change color. Every night, they became red red, hot, and tissue. During the day, they would be purple, as if they were belonging to a corpse. Standing for an appointment with a dermatologist for the unrelated foot problem in the middle of the epidemic felt ridiculous – hundreds of people died every day in New York at that stage. But whatever this is – a rash? Gharrena? The creeping death?
When I wrote this piece, the title asked the same question I spent on all my nights without sleep, “Will my Covid symptoms end?” At that time, the question was considered rhetorical and the answer is clear – it will end in the end, if not soon. At this stage, I never imagined that I was still suffering from the consequences of the first Covid infection. However, after five years, this question appears to have an answer: No. no. Now I find myself wondering less than the initial access to Covid and more than the degree in which we were held to the side.
From June 2020 until the vaccines became available to the public in April 2021, my “feet of fire” continued. I tried different medications, ointments and supplements. I can’t walk a few blocks every day. During George Floyd’s protests in the summer of 2020, it relied on Speck. However, by this winter, I am no longer able to ride a bike, and today, I still cannot.
When the “Feast of the Fire” calms down, the leg cramps began. Strange tingling up and down my legs, which felt hundreds of mosquitoes suddenly bites my skin. She faced the worst of these symptoms in the first half of 2021. She moved to walking on the third floor with a constant template problem. I wandered around a plastic tub, I was ordering it online every night full of cold water. My body pain. Six months later, my mouth started itching and turned my ears, nose and cheeks into bright and hot red after eating. I had to go on a special “low histamine” diet that I still follow. I take multiple antihistamines a day to control my reactions.
