Dislikes
I dislike cruelty to children and animals and all living creatures. Also, I dislike bullies, extreme modern art and architecture, supermarket and shop music that is unmelodic
I have had covid-toes for approximately 9 months now. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem for so long. It says on-line that there is no cure for this, but that it could last just for a week or a few months. It did not start out too bad at first with my big toe and then this moved to the middle toe next to it. This middle toe goes from lobster red, to mauve and sometimes completely black. I had a blister form on the top of this toe half way down, which turned eventually black. I am getting quite a lot of pain from this but it is quite sporadic. I have been to the doctor and they have sent me- today actually, to the podiatrist at our local hospital, who did not even know what Covid-toe was! The podiatrist dressed the toe and I have to go back once a week to have the dressing renewed. They have given me a third course of antibiotics, which I am not very happy about as one can overdo antibiotics, but I have agreed to take them. I also get fuzzy brain, balance problems, rash on my leg near my ankle, and tiredness and disturbed sleep. I actually caught covid on 27 December 2020 and fortunately, was not too ill, I did have a bit of a cough but nothing too bad, but I did not have breathing problems. My food also tasted awful so could not eat properly but fortunately could eat bananas! Just wondered whether anyone has had toe problems for so long and if they could recommend anything that might help?
