these two women described long covid very well. i hope that the people who posted nasty and ignorant comments develop a more empathetic view of the large amount of people suffering from this awful disease. we don’t need your negativity on top of feeling physically awful.
This virus destroyed my body too. Went from being a normal happy chubby and strong guy, to a skinny anhedonic lethargic shadow of my former self. I have so much anger for our government who played this off as if it was not a risk. In many ways, the man I was before died, I am picking up the pieces and doing my best to continue moving forward, but like the one girl in the video said, “I just feel like I got a bad hand”. Exactly.
vaccine, not the virus
I've been explaining to my partner for 15months that covid has taken my personality and I can't do things I used to.. He doesn't listen.. I'm about ready to leave him..
Stop telling people it's not real and stop shaming them. Having this is devastating!!
i hope you have good support from friends and family. i know how hard it is to be with someone who doesn’t understand illness and shames you, etc. being sick is not your fault, nor is it your wish. i wish you the best in getting well again and in deciding what to do with your relationship.
I am sorry you are suffering. None of us deserve this. I pray that we will find something that helps.
it's the vaccine, you must know this by now
I’m so sorry you are going through this! It’s so difficult. Wishing you a full recovery.
Omg this made me cry. Shattered dreams. It’s so sad.
As someone that has long covid, Time does not heal. Doctors need to focus on this more. This is not in our heads and many feel helpless due to the mounting medical costs for the tests to find out why. I'm constantly fighting with my doctors to do more. I was "vaccinated" but it was not until a year later I caught covid and spent a month to get to a point that i can somewhat work full time. This is well past the effective time frame of the vaccine. For all that say long covid is not real, Walk a day in my shoes and then you will see that it is real.
I don't even bother with doctors anymore. I have been learning about brain training from people who've had chronic fatigue and long covid. There's a lot of people who have claimed to overcome it this way and with other methods. I'm looking into it but unfortunately I still have my doubts.
@@Shannon_Robbie In the last week. My endocrinologist has diagnosed me with Cushing's. if you check some of the symptoms for Cushing's is the same as long covid. I'm still convinced that covid caused Cushing's
Covid isn't over. Stay tuned in.
Three and a half years now, bad as ever. GP and Long Covid Clinic both say they cannot help and the other should help. Haven't seen anyone from the Long Covid Clinic in person ever and routinely have to tell them that I am still waiting for help when they automatically move my Long Covid into the 'Past' column again. There is no help at all.
"Trust me, I'm a Doctor" is completely obsolete
I have cov second time now, and this time it took some of my brain. This is hell.
I hope they recover ok
Here it is, November 2023 & it's as if the entire world is pretending all of this away. Truly bleak.
There is around 5-10% chance of getting long COVID with every infection. So 10 - 20 infections everyone will have it. Most people are up to about 4-5 minimum in 4 years. So if we are generous and say it will take 8 - 16 years for 100% of people suffering from it in some form.
Why haven't they mentioned whether or not these athletes have had the jab?
Journalists please give us the full picture.

I just rewatched it - they caught Covid
1st lady - July 12th 2021
2nd lady - March 2020. Felt ok April 2021. Started training Sept 2022 back on GB programme and then rapidly downhill from there.
In June 2021 all adults 18 and over could get the jabs in the UK.
So again I ask - did they get the jabs?
2020, so you would assume not.
@@tom_sorrell Think you missed the point, they got covid 2020 and get fine but noticed in 2021 they have problems. Right about the time they had to get the V. 👍🏼
@@tom_sorrell July 21 and Sept 22, so you would assume so.
what does it matter? the spike protein is in both the virus and the jab
of course they did, that's what "long covid" is, it's vaccine injury disguised....bs!
It’s a histamine and inflammation issue. Due to genetics and/or nutrient deficiencies. Gut plays a major role as well.
What is their vaccine status? 🤔
What's yours?
Blame everything on the vaccine agenda
@@whisky_icarus8731 pure blood!
the vaccine agenda is to blame for everything, it's not an opinion@@MJR1117
You mean after they been jabbed
Long Covid?😁🤣😂 👉 Long-Vaxid!👌💯💥👍
What about those of us who caught it in 2020 before the vaccine? I agree that there are some cases triggered by the vaccine, but this is real and vicious. Happy to tell you about my personal experience if that would help. Just be careful out there either way.
many others had their dreams ruined by covid, unfortunate of course, but that's life
Oh well
So many other potentially confounding factors that could be related to this.. overtraining syndrome being one. How can it be 100% possible to say what they’re experiencing is long COVID?
It isn't, but to sell a "cure" you have to sell a "disease"
faith based $CIENTISM
People know their own bodies
@@ghayre6965 They'll know that they're fatigued - but they've been misdiagnosed. Deliberately.
@Paja Nightbadger well since you are so knowledgeable why don't you solve the problem to help them?
🙃😉🤫
The vaccine ruined your careers, lol
How many people took those 💉’s but not saying so.
never heard of them
“I can’t cook, I can’t clean” what a load of nonsense
All those words to tell everyone you wouldn’t be able to pass a med exam.
She can do it but her symptoms will flare up and cause extreme exhaustion. you sound like a real empath
@@MJR1117 You sound like a real shill
you sound like such an incel Adam lmao
Got pricked 😮
Does long Covid even exist?
Covid doesn't so it's fair to assume the different lengths don't either
What's ATP?
@@whisky_icarus8731 Do you work in PR?
@@pajanightbadger1713 so you don't know what ATP is?
@@whisky_icarus8731 I don't care what it is. Do you work in PR? Your evasion suggests so
Sounds like they need to push through. Don’t know how much I believe it
These ladies were athletes. Athletes dont give up easily so I dont believe its just a matter of just trying a bit harder and just pushing through
believe it.. i was not jabbed going on 7 months now.. i am just now startiing to walk again without putting myself back in bed for a week.. all these comments are heart breaking, like yeah everyday people just to decide to make up stories and quite six figure paychecks etc
@Shane pond don't let it get you down. Most people in the general public are scientifically illiterates. They wouldn't even be able to identify cells.
Ignorant comment. I pray to God you never have to go through what we're going through. We've lost so much.
Yeah right more like 💉
How do you know?
@@whisky_icarus8731 Nuremburg
I am one of the people who got it at the beginning if Covid. While I believe that there are some cases that got LC after the vaccine, most of us started with the full on illness. If there is anything I can do or say to convince you to be careful either way, let me know. This is hell and terrifying.
No you got jabbed 👍
Eugenics
Post viral illness has been around forever. I've had m.e. after glandular fever for thirty years
I'm 26♌ CoVid has made me depressed, miss my life. 😓🥹
