Post Covid Recovery, "Long Coronavirus", and Your Lymphatics Systems
Sharing my recent Lymphatic challenges with Covid Long Haul because I have seen very little on this new to me symptom, however the problems and symptoms indicate a direct impact to the lymph node inflammation and its impacts on my system.
Early 2020 medical community leanings suggested there could be a relationship between COVID, but patients would most likely not feel the inflammation. Sadly this was not my experience. The lymphatic system is crucial to keeping one's body healthy.
But mine appeared to have some blockages.
- TONSILS: I do not have tonsils, however I regularly when sleeping feel as though I can not swallow, and am unable to get intake air, almost as if I am choking.
- Pain and swelling on my right deltoid.
- Red Patches on my left foot and swelling up my left leg.
- Stomach to Kidney pain and water retention
Long Covid patients where some experience a lymphatic impact to their lymph nodes, long after testing negative for Coronavirus, in what the medical community initially called, 'Post Covid Recovery". An ineptly named phrase for something that demonstrates more suffering than recovery.
The lymphatic system is part of our immunity system that plays an essential role in protecting us against infection and disease. The lymphatic system includes your spleen, thymus, lymph nodes and lymph channels, tonsils and adenoids.
Here are some ways that Coronavirus hijacks a body's immune response with inflammatory impact dangerous enough to damage critical organs, including lungs and heart. This system overwhelm makes it hard for a patient to breathe and get oxygen to fuel the function of other organs.
Mayo Clinic describes some of the more critical Lymphatic systems that Coronavirus overwhelm that includes:
- lymphedema causes swelling (edema) in the arms and legs. Symptoms include feeling as though a feeling of fullness in your arms or legs; and less flexibility in your wrists, hands, and ankles. Affects arms, fingers, legs, feet and toes. Starts Thighs, down.
- lipedema is “fluid in the fat” disorder that causes excessive fat deposits on the legs, thighs and buttocks and upper arms. Starts Feet up.
- chronic vascular inflammation is a group of uncommon diseases, which result in inflammation of the blood vessels including, problems with bleeding under the skin Henoch-Schonlein purpura, digestive system, ringing in ears, red itching or burning eyes, numbness, weakness or swelling of hands or feet, shortness of breath
