Miserable

Side Effects

I don't know if this is the right place to get answers to this, but people who gave up with MJ, how long did you stick it out before giving up? And people whose side effects went away, how long does that take?

I started MJ primarily because I was excited by reports that it helped reduce long covid symptoms. I also need to lose weight obviously.

I'm in week 2 and my long covid symptoms are far worse, which is making me feel really scared. I'm having to spend more and more time in bed because I am so exhausted. Some neurological symptoms that had cleared up have come back.

Probably part of this is due to insomnia which started with the first jab. I'm quite isolated as a result of the long covid anyway and I am realising that my limited existing social contact is based around restaurant dining and is having to stop if I stay on MJ.

It's not all bad. My IBS has completely disappeared but that's about the extent of it. I do want to lose weight though. Is it going to get better soon?
