I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 20 yrs old. It was a hard pill to swallow when I went 20 yrs care free on what I was eating. I was so embarrassed and it put me in such a dark hole. When you go 20 yrs not looking at a nutrition label and all of a sudden your having to calculate carbs/sugar to insulin, it's not easy... but not impossible. 3 yrs later I'm finally more confident in it. I love to show of my dexcom because although you may not need it, i do...and honestly it's pretty cool. I love to find different accessories and such to make it fun. Putting accessories on things like medical stuff makes everything a lot easier. I start to look forward to site changes of my dexcom just cuz I get to pick the next patch imma use. So here are some things I've used so far.

PLEASE READ: Everything in this list is not to be taken as medical advice. I am simply showing what things have helped me with my LC symptoms. If you come across something that you think might help, please speak with a licensed medical professional about it. That being said, I'll share a little bit of my history. My post-COVID issues started in January 2021. Today (as of June 2024), I'm about 90% recovered. The symptoms that I still have are mild fatigue and slight sensitivity to touching certain things. I had a lot of other symptoms (chest pain, SOB, air hunger, heart palpitations, etc.) in the past that eventually resolved on their own, so in this list, I will share some things that I did to help with certain issues. I've had little success with traditional western medicine and had a good amount of relief with integrative/functional/eastern medicine. You may notice that some of the things in this list seem rather “woo woo” or full of quackery, but I implore you to keep an open mind. I was once in that resistant mindset until I gave these things a try.
