Feeling this man’s pain-got COVID in April 2020 and as he describes, I haven’t gotten better since. What you don’t realize when you’re healthy is just how much of your humanity is rooted in what you know you can do. This condition strips you of that humanity. The ability to do. It forces you to redefine yourself with so little to work with. Much love and healing to all those suffering from this and other, related post-infectious conditions.

I got very sick and still am struggling now 2 plus years later. One of the unexpected symptoms for me was that I lost several friends.

@@MH-zg5yw thanks MH! I do try to stay active. I was a competitive bodybuilder before getting sick. I can't train the way I used to but I still walk and exercise when I feel up to it. Best of luck with your recovery!
I was exceptionally active before I got covid. Avid hiker, worked a physical job, went cycling a lot. I lifted heavy in my youth then work became my workouts. 1.5g of vitamin C every few hours, a spoonful of B12 powder a day, 40k IU of Vit D, NAC and creatine have all helped me immensely. Stabilizing gut-brain axis and immune health seem to be the trick for me. Turkey tail mushrooms are an immunomodulator that have been used for thousands of years.

I don't need 30x 50mg a day anymore, but I still need one every now and again. I hope this helps and I wish you the best in your recovery. Losing my ability to be super active was like taking a piece of my soul.
@@ThinkBIGBodybuilding I was never big on weightlifting. Just started 5×5 weight training 3 days a week three weeks ago. Sometimes it is just 2 days. I need extra recovery time. I still can't run after being a runner for over 30 years. That one really hurts
I am 43 years old and never in my life experienced any health issues. Now 3 years later I have thyroid issues, extremely severe nasal problems, now recently bronchitis and lingering worsening shortness of breath. I am tired through the whole entire day. Have a hard time staying awake at work. On my days off I sleep most of the day. Feel I have been fighting for life for a year now

I applaud Justin for being brave enough to share his testimony and experiences. Unfortunately, my wife has been experiencing all the same things within the last month. The hardest part on top of the discomfort is not having any answers. My wife and I will be praying for you Justin.
Im 28 years old and after catching covid on august 2020, I still struggle to have long conversation with my friends/colleagues up to this day because it feels like I’m running out of breathe just by talking. The most remarkable long term effects is forgetfulness like taking medications like i didn’t know if i took the medicine already or not. It feels like derealization.
Got covid Sept 2022, recoverd and slowly slipped into a neurological mess. Everyday I feel like I am going to die. I have every symptom you read about, but doctors can't find anything.. I heart feels like it will stop any moment. I was very healthy before and now I can't leave house. I beleive this deisese will kill me, maybe in 6 months maybe next year.... I am trying everythibg to get better and I won't give up.... But really its not looking good. I truly feel for anyone going through this, I despise the medical industry and whoever created this.
I will say a prayer for you brother. Keep the hope and DONT GIVE UP. Many people have given up due to the struggle of this horrible condition. I , myself have been going through this same situation since March of 20 when the pandemic came to New Jersey. I am still dealing with the symptoms of this long haul condition but I have gotten better in many ways. My fatigue, joint pain and strength are still lacking but the other things have mostly improved. God loves you and he needs you here for when the solution to this problem comes. We will find a solution , I pray and am confident. Love you and I've never met you- but because of my experience with this I feel like I know you. Stay strong brother and thank God we're still alive to fight for the ones who didn't make it.
@@jillferrier8715Has anyone here been treated for post covid or vax symptoms?? I'm having symptoms of severe pain on the side of my head, as if it were a migraine, I feel gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, malaise and a feeling that my body is feverish. Before this virus, my health was great, now every now and then I get bad again, so I found out that there is a treatment for that
Do some research on telimere and DNA strands, and you will find details on aging. I'm only 50, but I feel like I have accelerated in age and feel 75 just after one year with long covid.
Well, maybe not all the cells. You made it here. It may or may not have anything to do with it. It's just a plausible theory acoirding to how we feel. No one really knows yet as it's still in LIMITED research now. It may be put on the shelf, and we will have to live like this for the rest of our lives. Never give up and speak your mind and let other professionals know about your symptoms. I'm no professional, but these things could be involved in a discussion to solve the puzzle for long covid.
You need to treat inflammation. I had terrible fatigue, brain fog, memory cognitive issues after covid. I'm Still recuperating. New doctor treated me with I meg solumedrol IV steroid. Within hours of treatment the pressure I felt on top of my head lifted. Several days later I could think clearer my short term memory lapses improving. My fatigue also is much better. I nap once or twice a week once a day. Not every day twice or three times. Why do doctors ignore treating brain inflammation. It is documented on MRI scans. They know it's there but don't treat it. I thank God I finally found a doctor who treated it. Look for doctors who will give corticosteroids to treat long term covid inflammation. This is what causes long covid!
34 and have had covid long haulers for 2 years, the feeling of hopelessness, like I'll never get to be a really parent to my son, or partner to my spouse. The breaking down in bouts of depression, unable to properly think or comprehend, passing out from driving or from being in a moving car for 10mins. The feeling of not being able to get out of bed, or the late night insomnia when i should be in bed, this illness has stolen so much from me
3 years old, got covid in late 2019, none of my symptoms have gone away. Shortness of breath, pins, needles and tingling sensations all over my body including face, bladder problems, chronic extreme fatigue, shaky fingers, joints pain, balance issues, brain fog. Got vaccinated with 2 shots, but most of my symptoms have begun before that. Can't say if the vaccine made things worse, maybe, maybe not. No sings of improvement for 3 years, it's like someone took your life away, I so much understand this guy.
I’m an er doctor. Two covid infections which were extremely minimal symptom wise. 1.5 months later I was struck with 30+ mysterious neurological symptoms that persist 9 months later. I’ve had extensive testing , all of it is normal. I lost my career. Disability insurance won’t pay out and I’m in danger of becoming homeless as my savings are essentially gone. I’ve applied for physician assisted suicide overseas and intend on following through with that in the coming months. 100 percent healthy 39 year old man before covid.
Please, do not do that. I am also a medicine student. When I was in 4th grade, I got this disease and had to continue school because my parents never believed in me. It was so hard I cried every night. I was serving patients in the hospital who were better off than me, and it really hurt. I'm now in 6th grade and I'm still trying to finish school. If I can be a doctor one day, I want to devote myself to this disease. I have very little strength. but people weaker than me in this world have left us a lot. These people need us. If we give up, no one will try to heal them. We must continue without giving up. I believe that god is with us
The same. But I’m a 36 year old woman. Which country did you apply at? Have you considered Vsed in the United States? I was wondering if I could go that route.
I had CFS before the pandemic. I got COVID finally in December 2022. July 2023 and Im still having symptoms all related to Post Covid Syndrome. I’ve been in the hospital 6 times since March and was just rushed to the ER by ambulance last week. Had x ray, ultrasound, ekg, ct scan… every thing normal. My heart races, so much it feels like a heart attack, heart palpitations, fatigue on top of CFS, migraines, dizziness….it’s rough. Im definitely talking to my doctor about this
Been having muscle twitching and nerve issues for almost two years now. A lot of people have this too after catching Covid. Hopefully this is being researched too
A coworker got it in 2021 and after recovering kept complaining how he would get winded cleaning out his car or doing simple things and how his brain just felt slow and he would instantly forget things like he left a pizza in the oven for hours because he would forget or would just not be able to remember what day it was for a few minutes and shortly thereafter he had to quit his job (we work in IT) because it just got too difficult mentally and 2 months later he dropped dead. Just didn't wake up. I believe he died of covid and it just took it 8 months to finish him off. I have another coworker who is really struggling 6 months after recovering from a very mild infection, and its his 2nd one, and he is very young. No idea why his second infection is causing long covid and the first did not. Both times he's had it it was sniffles. Long covid is real and very scary
Thanks for this video; I now have clarity. In 2020, I had COVID; was on a breathing machine in the hospital. Seemed to progress when I got home from hospital (although still connected to oxygen). Currently, May 2023, I have been having the weirdest symptoms: Out of breath after opening the plastic bag in a cereal box; can't walk far without gasping for air; always tired and falling asleep without notice, not fully tasting certain foods OR getting palpitations after eating certain foods. Currently unemployed; cannot walk far or do lifting without having shortness of breath. I see now I am not on an island; others have long COVID symptoms also. Open to find out how to resolve this horrible experience.
I am from the UK and also suffering like this gentleman since 2020. I have had all the jabs; I eat healthy and don't smoke or drink alcohol. The fatigue and brain fog are like semi paralysis. It's frightening and every day is a challenge; you are in between life and death.
Hospitalized In 2022 got it 4 times 2022 was the worse went into reino failure.....I was a skilled mechanic now it's been a year after covid brain fog...fatigue a majority of the time life isn't the same ... Now we're are just getting by... Today probably is the toughest end of the month struggles bearly any food wife is the one working food stamps don't come till 5th of next month.. Life most definitely is rough..right now
I am almost the exact same. I got my covid in march 2020. It is a absolute struggle to just live life. I wish I could go back in time everyday. I see it as while covid may not have been as bad for 99% for people I was the unlucky person who continues to struggle everyday. I feel like I am just dragging through life. I wish my life was different but those are the cards we deal with.
I had chronic fatigue syndrome about 20 years ago, and I now have Long COVID. There is a huge difference between the two. Yes, they both have fatigue as a major symptom. But when I had CFS, I could breathe easily uncomfortably. I have not had a good clean breath since March 2021. Walking 50 or 100 feet is a huge accomplishment.
I felt worse with each of 3 boosters, so i differ in the opinion here. After each booster left me from Fatigue - to Lethargic - to deeper and heavier ☹️. 👉Plus big pharma doesn’t get wealthy healing people. 👈
I'm not the same as I was before catching covid. Carrying something as simple as laundry and I'm winded. I can go on. Running feels like a bolt of lightning striking you. I have a high tolerance for pain. One day I pushed through that pain and it knocked me on the floor. I hate this. I got fired because my boss thought I was lying. I just want to Work again. I want to be that Man I was pre-covid.
I understand , had covid 2021 in the hospital 5 days. Wake up tired and feel exhausted most of the day. Brain fog, memory loss. Also about year later had second round covid but not nearly as bad. Never had the jab.
Actually, yes, it can. Understand your DNA and telimere stands. It can danage and shorten them, making you look older and age faster and accelerate aging.
I,ve been ill for a year and a half now and not getting any better and my doctor does not have any idea what is wrong with me,funny feeling in my mouth and tongue,bad chest pains that come and go a heavy feeling around my throat and chest area.also have red patches all over my body especially my face,i had none of these problems before covid or had the jabs,my life has been put on hold and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm permanently disabled due to covid the nurses didn't move me around for 4 months cause I was in a induced comma due to covid now I have a dropped foot and can't walk still no government assistance because covid isn't a disability but it disabled ne

Before this virus, my health was great, now every now and then I get bad again, so I found out that there is a treatment for that
I'm 63, I get bronchitis or a flu every year, since covid I haven't been sick once, I didn't get any shots, I'm a smoker and I thought that's why I get sick, I still wear the mask at public places.
Sad stories on here. I wonder what research, if any, has been done on bone marrow density? After a bout with covid before vaccine came out, I surely noticed a difference in my spinal strength. It felt like my b ones had become "lighter" This made me cautious about not wanting to fall ( and not get up). It was definely a change after covid. I try to exercise again but take it slow. Best wishes to all. Keep fighting. ❤
I have long covid too. Since March 2020, and I have not been vaccinated. I wish I didn’t suffer, but I can’t even shower more than 1 to 2 times a week. And I can only talk 1 hour max per day. Short of breath 24/7. I know it’s hard to understand when you’re not in the situation, but this is very real.
I completely understand we fell sick almost on the same day. I was exposed March 2, 2020. It’s been three years of trying to stay positive and being sick almost everyday. Wishing you health and knowledgeable caring doctors ❤

Life most definitely is rough..right now
I got long Covid too! I wanted to help you so much!
I am almost the exact same. I got my covid in march 2020. It is a absolute struggle to just live life. I wish I could go back in time everyday. I see it as while covid may not have been as bad for 99% for people I was the unlucky person who continues to struggle everyday. I feel like I am just dragging through life. I wish my life was different but those are the cards we deal with.
My sister has the long term Covid. Going on 3 years. She can't do anything
Im in the same ship here. It is horrible
I had chronic fatigue syndrome about 20 years ago, and I now have Long COVID. There is a huge difference between the two. Yes, they both have fatigue as a major symptom. But when I had CFS, I could breathe easily uncomfortably. I have not had a good clean breath since March 2021. Walking 50 or 100 feet is a huge accomplishment.
I felt worse with each of 3 boosters, so i differ in the opinion here. After each booster left me from Fatigue - to Lethargic - to deeper and heavier ☹️.
👉Plus big pharma doesn’t get wealthy healing people. 👈
Exactly! Isn't it convenient that now people are left with symptoms that will require lifelong medication.
I'm not the same as I was before catching covid.
Carrying something as simple as laundry and I'm winded.
I can go on.
Running feels like a bolt of lightning striking you. I have a high tolerance for pain. One day I pushed through that pain and it knocked me on the floor.
I hate this. I got fired because my boss thought I was lying. I just want to Work again. I want to be that Man I was pre-covid.
It was the vaccinations that gave me debilitating long covid
No cure
I was diagnosed with lyme disease 6 years ago. I've been an antibiotics for 4 years. I now have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue.
I understand , had covid 2021 in the hospital 5 days. Wake up tired and feel exhausted most of the day. Brain fog, memory loss. Also about year later had second round covid but not nearly as bad. Never had the jab.
wait? long covid can cause faster age progression?
you look older and it had been just 3 years.
Actually, yes, it can. Understand your DNA and telimere stands. It can danage and shorten them, making you look older and age faster and accelerate aging.
I'm actually 50 but feel like 75 with long covid.
Absolutely I feel like I went from 61 to 81

I can verify that long haulers covid does in fact make you feel and look older, my doctors in the covid clinic call it the aging illness.
Ive done some fasting that has helped my long covid the most...reset my system
What type of fasting?
When he was hospitalized was he on a ventilator, for how long ?
He was vaccinated before this all happened.
WEAR YOUR MASK
Or risk long term disability
Check into secondary vasculitis due to post Covid syndrome..
Anyone facing fast heart rate issue still?
I,ve been ill for a year and a half now and not getting any better and my doctor does not have any idea what is wrong with me,funny feeling in my mouth and tongue,bad chest pains that come and go a heavy feeling around my throat and chest area.also have red patches all over my body especially my face,i had none of these problems before covid or had the jabs,my life has been put on hold and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
I have had the year long Covid and I couldn’t taste any food or smell anything. I have lost a lot of weight and never have an appetite.
Lost 60 or more pounds. Literally starving. Smell and tongue are gone.
I'm permanently disabled due to covid the nurses didn't move me around for 4 months cause I was in a induced comma due to covid now I have a dropped foot and can't walk still no government assistance because covid isn't a disability but it disabled ne
Long covid sounds like a symptom of vaccine spike protein replication
First of all let's remember this virus was manufactured
Did he get the vaccine?
Has anyone here been treated for post covid or vax symptoms?? I'm having symptoms of severe pain on the side of my head, as if it were a migraine, I feel gas, diarrhea, abdominal pain, malaise and a feeling that my body is feverish. Before this virus, my health was great, now every now and then I get bad again, so I found out that there is a treatment for that
I'm 63, I get bronchitis or a flu every year, since covid I haven't been sick once, I didn't get any shots, I'm a smoker and I thought that's why I get sick, I still wear the mask at public places.
That doctor is wrong. Its not "perceived" shottness of breath when your O2 levels drop to the 80s
So sad nobody can find a cure!
How about finding a cure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No such thing, only treatments to manage symptoms
more vaccine might help to cure it, go get it
It’s the vaccine not the Covid imo
Sad stories on here.
I wonder what research, if any, has been done on bone marrow density?
After a bout with covid before vaccine came out, I surely noticed a difference in my spinal strength. It felt like my b ones had become "lighter" This made me cautious about not wanting to fall ( and not get up). It was definely a change after covid.
I try to exercise again but take it slow.
Best wishes to all. Keep fighting. ❤
Creatine has helped a lot of people with long covid.
My sister has had all the shots.
y'all just need more boosters, go get it
He is struggling with the poison injected to him⚠️Allright ???
I have long covid too. Since March 2020, and I have not been vaccinated. I wish I didn’t suffer, but I can’t even shower more than 1 to 2 times a week. And I can only talk 1 hour max per day. Short of breath 24/7. I know it’s hard to understand when you’re not in the situation, but this is very real.
I completely understand we fell sick almost on the same day. I was exposed March 2, 2020. It’s been three years of trying to stay positive and being sick almost everyday. Wishing you health and knowledgeable caring doctors ❤
Lars your comment is completely irresponsible.
@@alicegoldenvalley so you need the vaccine, go get it
