So, the science is really unclear about if fibro is an autoimmune. Part of the diagnostic criteria is basically that you have symptoms that present like an autoimmune/inflammation but that you don't have any of the normal blood markers that they look for.
That being said, I just got over COVID. 😷 I had gotten the vaccine and even a booster, so it was pretty mild but I feel like it definitely aggravated my fibro. The worst part was that the fatigue compounded on, so I got tired while doing the bare minimum for existing. 😴 I couldn't breathe well unless I was sitting up straight, which made it impossible to really change my posture and made my hips hurt from not moving. 😑 That being said, I was lucky that it was mild enough that I could still go on walks; much shorter than normal, but walks nonetheless. That helped dispel some of the fibro issues for me, but don't overdo it. I still didn't do anything active on the really bad days, and really forced myself to go on the less bad days because I didn't want to deal with the sick-day aftermath that hits if I let myself do nothing for more than a couple of days.
My most superficial feeling complaint was my nose. 🤥 I'm used to my hands and feet hurting in the cold, but with COVID my nose almost constantly stung.
I'm about a week past getting over the bulk of the symptoms, but I still have some inflammation in one side of my sinuses, and my nose will still randomly hurt. At this point I've low-key adjusted to it, because what's a little extra neuropathy going to change? 🙄
