May I ask, have you ever heard of people with different symptoms than the usual, that could be attributed to Covid?
Something just clicked in my head this morning. I had completely forgotten about it. I just found out the notes I had taken back then.
On the 4th of October 2019, I had a miscarriage (44 days). I had to go to the hospital to get an injection of WinRho because I'm rhesus negative.
From Nov 6 to 8 2019, Fatigue and low fever 100F.
On 15th Nov. 2019, something started and would last about 6 months: I would wake up at night around 3 pm with excruciating pain in my hands, wrist, and shoulders. They were swollen, red, and throbbing pain, I could not bend my arms or fingers. This would subside around 8 am.
Acute phase = pain 8/10 from 15-19 nov
Diminished afterward over time to pain 4-5/10 around 20th Nov, lasted 6 month, gradually diminishing over the months.
I started researching about the ingredients of that serum they give, and I asked many questions to a doctor about it. They all dismissed my worries, and the pamphlet didn't suggest any potential risk. I went to see a rheumatologist and he did a sound resonance of my fingers to detect arthritis; I had no damage whatsoever...
I dropped the case and forgot about it. But now that we know Covid was circulating 2 years prior to March 2020, I'm wondering...
Have you ever heard of Folinic Acid?
I read an article a long time ago and I found it back for you. It might help.

How a vitamin cured my anxiety: Elisa Black’s story of lifelong struggle and new hope for the future
Elisa Black has suffered from crippling anxiety since she was a child. Finally, after struggling for decades, her doctor helped find a cure
For years, decades, I was looking outside for the answer, when I should have been looking inside all along. Looking at my genes. Because it turns out I have a genetic mutation on one of my genes, one with the rather apt acronym MTHFR. The result is that my body has trouble processing B-group vitamins.
But here’s the thing: I am far from being alone. The genetic mutation also affects close to one in five people and could be responsible for everything from mood disorder or multiple miscarriages to strokes, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many other illnesses.
And the good news is that the potential treatment — folinic acid — is cheap, relatively easy to find and side-effect free.
The distinction between folinic acid* and the common dietary vitamin, B9 or folic acid, is an important one. Variations in the MTHFR gene mean I am unable to convert folic acid into a form my body can use — folinic acid — easily. That, in turn, can lead to a Pandora’s Box of health problems.

“Some people with a double mutation don’t necessarily respond dramatically to folinic acid, which is why I use a methyl B12 in combination as there might turn out to be other pathway disorders,” he says. “I’m treating at least a couple of hundred patients with this now.”
(...)
The reduction of my own migraines has been a happy side effect of treating my anxiety with folinic acid and B12. I have migraine with aura. My most notable attack occurred when I was working at Wendys and had to endure an hour of desperation as a crowd demanded sundaes with Smarties and all I could see was a bunch of flashing squiggly lines while I tried not to spew all over the counter. Since starting folinic acid and B12 six months ago, I have had no migraines. That might not be scientific evidence but it’s good enough for me.
An article in the journal Biology and Medicine last year looked at the clinical implications of MTHFR mutations in disease, and certain cancers in particular. The author reviewed its involvement in migraine and stroke, its role in cardiovascular disease and neural tube defects — common and often covered ground in the world of MTHFR.

“Problems with folate metabolism have been associated with depression and/or anxiety. This is partly due to inadequate SAMe synthesis. SAMe is required for neurotransmitter synthesis which is important for proper nerve and brain function.
“Common polymorphisms (variants) in MTHFR can reduce its activity and potentially lead to a reduction in SAMe and neurotransmitter synthesis particularly if dietary intake of folate and vitamin B12 are also inadequate.”
So, basically, because my MTHFR is dodgy I have problems making an amino acid that is really bloody important for lots of things and, consequently, the methylation cycle is impaired, my homocysteine levels rise and neurotransmitter synthesis, among other things, is disrupted.
