Studying the causes and effects of long COVID
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- More than two years into the pandemic, researchers still have few answers about why as many as 1-in-5 adults infected with COVID have experienced a symptom suggestive of long-term effects. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jonathan LaPook talks with doctors looking at ways to diagnose and treat patients with long COVID; and with patients who are striving to get back to their pre-COVID health.

I'm glad you're reporting on this but seriously you are talking to people in New York City who from appearances presented on the TV screen can afford health care and personal trainers, this is not available to everyone out there! You need to be reporting on how this is effecting long haulers across the board not just a specific demographic, there are people out there suffering that can't afford the treatments and strategies you mentioned here!
Exactly! In the first (deadly) surge areas like Elmhurst and the Bronx were hardest hit. I want to hear their stories. I honestly really don’t care about the rich dude on the Upper East side. He’ll be just fine I am sure.
Medicaid
For those of us who were previously highly athletic, it is even worse. It infuriates me to hear people fault others for getting sick by saying they must have had pre-existing conditions or are older. Pre-covid, I ran circles around people half my age.
Yes, there is a lot of victim shaming in most things, but catching a germ should be free of that if it's thru no fault of your own (refusal to wear a mask, e.g.) "Pre-existing conditions" and the inference that 'they were going to die anyway' (from 'authorities' like "Dr." Oz) is some of the worst side-stepping ever during a deadly pandemic where so many in power just wanted to keep their heads in the sand and downplay it all for political or other agendas.
Maybe because they had it, it was mild with zero longterm side effects: like me 🙋🏻♂️
But I respect your experience, sorry to hear it.
Yeah, so what? I was a female in my 20’s, athletic and in the prime of my life when lupus changed it forever. You aren’t special. Lots of Americans have devastating autoimmune illness with much more severe symptoms and consequences than long covid patients. We require kidney transplants, chemotherapy and other treatment for life. Most of us spend years getting a diagnosis. So please stop with your self-pity; it’s embarrassing.
It can’t be worst because you did not die from it and the NIH is focusing it’s research on your demographic.
@@Cwgrlup Sorry you're so embarassed. You must certainly be projecting your own thoughts because you have no idea whatsoever where I am in my process of healing. I don't need your pity or validation. Instead, I study and am lucky to be able to learn alternative strategies to heal over time. I have a strong medical & educational background. Many with long covid are as sick as you are. Don't compare and act like you've had a worse time of it than they have. Many cannot work, including physicians. You don't know what their lives are like. Instead, learn gratitude and compassion, instead of bitterly telling them to just "suck it up.
Living with the lasting effects is a real thing. As a result, I cannot taste or smell. I can taste sweet and creamy but all other foods have a distorted taste and I do not relish some foods any longer. I have a lasting cough that just won't go away, so in a sense my body doesn't function as well since I had Covid. This is the new normal for me but I am still alive, so that is a blessing. This is the first time I have spoken up about the lasting effects of Covid-19. I live a quiet and simple life and do not search for sympathy or to be in the limelight. Kudos to those who do.
Agreed - I cannot take anything with the least amount of spice. My tongue feels like it is on fire.
take zinc pills for taste
Do you mind my asking how long your taste and smell have been impaired/absent?
@@borntoexplore982 over a year.
Make sure you stay home wear a mask and do not come outside. But don't demand others to do the same
I am praying for the long haulers. I hope everything will get better for them. There are people in this world who think covid is a joke. They won't know how serious covid is until they experience long-term side effects after recovering from covid.
Havent these people gone to NUTRIONALISTS?
Not just regular doctors?
They should be stocking up on vitamin D3/K2, zinc, extra vitamin C, quercetin, etc
Yes, I just recently had an exposure, as did my coworker. We were again working together when I found out and she just dismissed saying oh, it's just like a cold. I don't want it in me bc we just don't know.
@@serenarobak3640 oh no! I hope you two get better soon! If anyone is experiencing covid like symptoms, they should go get tested for covid-19. A cold and covid are different. But the symptoms are very similar. In addition, if anyone is experiencing covid like symptoms, they should isolate themselves at home to keep other people safe in case if they have contracted covid.

@@wakeupsheeple513 I am a human. Not a bot.
Thanks for getting the word out. Like the gentleman interviewed, i have felt invisible. People don’t really want to hear, or care, if you have chronic fatigue and dizziness especially if the trigger was Covid.
Yes, American mentality towards health care and illness is downright inhumane. In particular, the health care system is still framed by White Supremacist ideology hence why people who visit doctors cannot get treatment or are neglected or ignored by health care providers.

how do you feel right now? any better?
I had COVID & COVID pneumonia in December, 2021. It affected my blood pressure, heart rate, and diabetes medications. My medications quit working, and my diabetic medications are still not working. I’ve felt ill every day since contracting COVID. I tell everyone COVID has changed my body, and immune system, and I no longer feel like the same person
I’m so sorry. I also got CoVid pneumonia October 2021. I now have lung disease and back skeletal problems since CoVid. I am nowhere near normal although I have improved about 50%. I get brain fog constantly. I’m trying my best to keep active but it can be quite hard at times.
exactly i tell people i am not the same person i was before ,its like my immune system is ruined somehow and my body goes haywire .....the symptoms range from fatigue to overactive bladder to chest tightness then they vanish then return constantly ...i feel like a hypochondriac but i know im not right
Experimental vaccines could do that.
I’m just experienced the same I’m not the same person anymore
@@laurad4129 same dear😓
9/13/22 Update: I have progressed from antihistamines to mast cell stabilizers and what a difference!
Research MCAS to see if this may be your root problem with LC. If you think so, ask your Dr for help, as it's Rx.
Best wishes!
Previous comment:
When I am asked 'how are you' I respond "hanging in there" because I am not 'fine'.
Long covid is HORRIBLE. I call it 'sitting on the sidelines of life'.
What has helped me dramatically, is taking a simple Benadryl at night.
Praying it continues to work.
Glad to see this is being taken seriously now!
What does Benadryl help you with? Does it help with the debilitating constant fatigue?
@@ThanhTran-33333 It helped me a lot with the horrible fatigue. I felt better the next day! I keep taking it every night and will continue for 3 more months. Maybe longer, if covid stays around.
Best of luck with your recovery!
sounds like MCAS
Careful with how long you use Benadryl I was told to cease it because of its links to dementia and Alzheimer's.
@@mayamagick Correct.
Thank you for broadcasting this story. I was beginning to think I was crazy.
No you aren’t crazy. Many doctors don’t listen & they gaslight us. Best wishes & God bless
I have Fibromyalgia which is a chronic pain and fatigue condition so I know what they're going through. There are millions of people in America with similar symptoms. Long Covid sufferers are not alone. 😔🙏
May I ask if your fibromyalgia got worse after contracting covid or after getting vaccinated? You do not have to answer if you feel this is to personal. I will understand. I'm just looking for answers from real people, not always from medical staff. I think they pick and choose who they want to put on TV to just answer the questions they want answered. Not what people really want or need to know..
THANK YOU!!! As I watch this, I think, this is my life with fibromyalgia and I had Covid 12/20. I am triple vaccinated, now, but my fibromyalgia did get more intense since I have had Covid.
I'm so glad long COVID shines some light on fibromyalgia which I have. I've been bedridden for 5 years. I could have been bedridden for 15 years before that but I was nuts and worked a full-time job programming software for all those years. Oh my brain hurt! All I did after work was lying in bed.
Same with Lyme. Apparently COVID research opening up eyes and minds to Lyme sufferers.
Try 10,000 units of D3 with breakfast for three weeks then cut back to 5000 units daily unless you have a parathyroid issue. Good luck!
I am glad I saw this segment,I am going through everything said there. Mine are massive headaches,fatigue,dizziness,nausea etc.everyday.It is crushing me. Nightmare Groundhog Day! I’ve seen so many doctors and all the tests they mentioned,to no avail. The doctors act like I’m bothering them. It has totally changed my personality and the way I do things.Didn’t realize there are so many others like this. Praying for the light at the end of the tunnel for all of us!
Have a VH-Prayers for you and all others that are going through this. I know some that have had covid-19. Prayers for the ones having covid-19 and the ones with long haul covid-19.

Guys listen if you are in long covid then start fasting ,, 16h for 12 days to 1 month and then slowly start doing push-up workouts ,, these 2 things are the game changer ,,,and for the supplements take NAC, antihistamine h1 h2 vitamin c ,d and multi vitamins👍... remember fasting is the key and chest workouts ...you have to have to do it these 2 things
NOTE 1ST HALF DAY OF FASTING CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT BUT IN EVENING YOU WILL FEEL BETTER ,,AND WORKOUTS ONLY RECOMMEND BEFORE YOU 1ST MEAL OF THE DAY
I and my daughter contracted Covid in the 1st wave March 2020. Our struggle with Long Covid has been difficult from the first stages of gaslighting from ER and GP docs, who told us our symptoms were due to anxiety, or that it must be "something else", to losing our ability to work and losing friends/family connections. My daughter's an OT, she had to stop working last Nov., and we lived off her savings, which now has now gone to zero. I applied for disability Sept. 2021, still no decision on that.
We've found improvement from herbal treatments by an licensed herbalist, but neither of us are at 100%, and if it weren't for his treatment, we'd be much worse. We've had times when we feel better, but if we over exert, push our energy. we crash again, and end up in bed for days on end with more symptoms.
I'm happy to finally see a news report like this on mainstream TV, because as the man in this story said, we feel invisible, as too many people don't believe it's real. Most people in my life, don't even ask how we're doing any longer, nor do they invite us anywhere. It's as though to them, we fell off the face of the earth, and they moved on.
We are a new expanding population, i'm glad you've found some relief thru Herbalist. i believe our Healing is in Natural methods. We should create our own support networks to identify resources. my impression is our Lives are changed & We must design new ways of navigating our environment. Do what We can on Good Days & be Gentle with ourselves on rough days. i Believe EveryDay i'm still Breathing is somehow for the Greater Good 👣🎶💜🌎
@@QueenBDreamwalker Yes, so true. Thank you for your words of solidarity!
I read something that Benedryl help with long COVID symptoms and noticed I felt much better this year during allergy season when I would take it at night. Ask your doctor if you should try it.
@@jewdy8915 Yes, I know...I take an antihistamine everyday.
Omg those doc who told u lies when no one in the worlds knew what was happening are horrible. I hope they feel convicted n tell thebtruth to the patients now. Thx for sharing! Long covid is horrible but remember we r not the only ones suffering from it.
I'm 6.5 months into long covid. I'm about 50% at best so there has been some improvement. Mostly neurological symptoms: brain fog, trouble concentrating, tinnitus mildly, post exertional malaise and heart rate issues when standing. It is very hard to deal with. I am grateful for the progress I have made but I want to be back to the old me.
I'm 5 months in.
Is the tinnitus in one ear, or both?
About 9 months in and have similar symptoms. Seem to have some decent days and then all of a sudden horrible days. My symptoms are mostly fatigue, shortness of breath, heart palpitations (had them non stop after acute infection for two week’s), tinnitus, brain fog and memory issues
The tinnitus is THE WORST!!! besides the night anxiety attacks! Feel ya! 7 months in now
It’s Post Viral Syndrome folks, just rebranded as Long Covid.
I bet you got the jab LOL
I'm glad they're researching this. There are people who have symptoms very similar to covid long haulers before covid existed and hopefully they can benefit from these studies as well.
I sure hope they find a treatment for long Covid. I’ve suffered with ME/CFS for years and the CDC has only recognized it as a real disorder since 2017. Maybe any treatments discovered will help those of us with ME/CFS, because we’re pretty much ignored and I’d love to have a few decent years before I die.
I am 74 and fit and healthy. No Rx drugs. I have always been physically active. I had Covid in Feb 2020. Coughed for 3 weeks. Lost smell and taste for 3 months! No fever or shortness of breath but I had sore throat, cough, congestion, headache, fatigue & muscle aches & weakness. Recovered without medical help. It took me 12 weeks to feel "normal" again. I feel very bad for so many who still struggle.
I feel bad for the people who are still dying unnecessarily because they think the vaccine is worse than the disease…
What did you do you help you recover?
@@olsonbryce777 -rest-fluids-vit d3- vit c- zinc-vit k2-quercetin.
Was it in early February,mid February or Late February, Btw I'm glad you recovered nice and healthy:)
@@TheBacon2031 Late Feb. My brother and his wife who live in Northern Calif arrived for a visit coughing and sniffling and saying they were "getting over colds". They stayed 5 days and the morning the left I woke with a sore throat.
This is completely me. I had virtually no symptoms when I had COVID, I just felt tired, and then one day my sense of taste and smell was gone- hasn’t been back since, it’s been over 1.5 years and I used to be a super taster with the most insane sense of smell.
I ate basil and ginger non stop. Either eat it by itself, add it on food or soups, or tea. It eventually came back after about 6 months, but there’s still some that taste metallic and bland like orange sour.
Have you been supplementing with a high quality zinc supplement? I don’t have experience with this myself, but have heard/read that Covid deplete the body of zinc and zinc is the mineral necessary for smell/taste.
It worked for my boyfriend… Give it a shot if you haven’t already and let me know if it helps!
@@thekatephillips I got sick last month and lost taste/smell. Took zinc and after three days both were back! Totally helps.
@@brightspacebabe Yay!!! My BF could taste again in 48 hours.
how do you feel right now? any better?
My husband has been treated for "anxiety and depression " because he had it as a college freshman! He's 59 now....
It's been 6 months. He's a physical therapist for gosh sakes. Unable to work since his 59th birthday, Jan 19. We need answers. He needs to be able to work. I'll settle for him being able to get out of bed. I HATE THIS FOR HIM!!!

I feel as a chronic fatigue syndrome survivor of 30 yrs. I feel that if back in the day around mid 1980s someone would have taken those of us sufferers more serious instead of being ridiculed, denied benefits and told was all in our head we might be much further ahead helping these people. 30 years later I / most still suffer with the same symptoms as the long haulers, our hopes were dashed, I only HOPE these people don't have to wait that long for help.
💯
Can relate. On disability since 2003.
Absolutely TRUE!
I had vertigo which caused balance issues and limited my exercise and yard work for about 4 months post covid. Finally a visit to physical therapy cured the vertigo. Tinnitus which is ringing in the ear remains but I've learned to deal with it mostly with white noise.
I treat this like a biological attack against me because it is. I’m more interested in holding the people responsible for this accountable for their actions than how to combat this “disease”.
You were attacked by govt. I treat this as a war on the citizens, which it is
Bingo!!!! THANK YOU! There IS life beyond the sheeples. WUHAN/FAUCHI/CHINA. And the treasonous media won’t even talk about. They ruined the global economy, purposely. We need massive and swift remedy for treason

Placing blame is the first step to solving any problem? Good luck with that!
All your hate and the need to place blame will cause you even more physical pain and mental anguish as time goes by. Have fun with that.

Welcome to the world that people with mental health issues have lived in for years. We’ve been told, “just think happier thoughts,” “don’t be so negative,” “be grateful for the good things in your life,””try smiling more,” “just get over it,” etc. Just because you can’t see it with your own eyes, you haven’t experienced it yourself, or you think it’s not real does NOT mean it doesn’t exist. It is VERY real, very debilitating, and we’re not choosing to feel the way we feel.
Well said. Thx
👍👍👍I have had all this for 20 years. I was blessed I got disability.
I haven't been able to cut my grass, due to Long Covid, since July 2021. My work colleagues can't get over it. "Are you gonna cut it this weekend?" "Just get out there and cut it!" They have no idea how bad I will be after attempting, what I would call, the super human feat of mowing the lawn.
I had a couple of weeks there where I felt a lot like my old self. There was a heat wave here, so I took the day off work and brought the family to the local beach. I was fine walking up and down the beach, but after a quick dip in the ocean I felt the dreaded headaches/ skull nerves/ brain zaps. And the following few days I felt awful.
When showering and making dinner are classed as 'exertion', swimming is a definite No NO.
It doesn't help when not one of your work colleagues has been out sick with Covid. Some people are very lucky. But they have no idea what Covid has done to so many of us (apart from those who paid the ultimate price and died).
So sorry. I’m Dealing with this too;( Are you feeling better. Need hopeful stories.
how do you feel right now? any better?
Post 4/5 months I went crying to my ex dr (NP) who patted me on the back and told me to continue with mental therapy. 😡
It's sad 😔
Can I share my story! I have had it since Dec 2020 and have a story to share. It has been on RUclips. I have done holistic ways to get stronger. Thank you for sharing these stories!
What holistic remedies did you use ?
Before COVID I already had Ehlers-Danlos, and despite vaccination I'm currently recovering from my third round of COVID. Since having it, my POTS symptoms that normally come along with my EDS has gotten worse. I run out of energy so much quicker than I used to, and it takes much longer to recharge. My joints and muscles feel weaker too. The isolation makes my social issues so much worse.
You need another vaccine pronto!
Did your symptoms get worse when you were a long hauler and got reinfected? I have an injury from the vaccine that mimics long covid and I worry about reinfection with my condition now especially since so little is known about all of this.
Pray n believe , accept Jesus as your lord n savior, time wait on no one, tomorrow promise to no one,we r living in the last day, Jesus love you ,put your trust in him n God bless you.stay strong.

Thank you for this, it gives me hope.
You may want to visit FLCCC,, they are developing protocols for those issues.
Understanding long covid won't be until after a few decades. Which makes one wonder what happens if people keep getting covid...what's the percentage of that turns into long term covid and if so what changes are being made, civilization must adapt or get wiped out like the mayans.
I was unknowingly exposed to COVID June 25. In hindsight I realize I was already feeling sick that night when I had nausea and slept in till 3pm. Got chills and sore throat by 28th and took a test. I've been sick ever since. I was never too sick just a bit of coughing and I slept almost non-stop for a week.
What *really* worried me was I became extremely forgetful. I kept repeating myself to people. And I couldn't hold a glass of water and walk at the same time without sloshing it around on the floor.
Strangely, I never lost my ability to do software development which requires short term memory skills
Thankfully it seems to have cleared up after week 2.
how do you feel right now? any improvements?
I am a few days from the one year mark and have battled major long Covid. How do we reach out to the places of information and study. I would love to get more information.

There an app to show you were the covid hot spots are ; that invisible enemy
It’s Post Viral Syndrome rebranded as Long Covid. I had this 42 years ago aged 19 after a severe bout of flu. I was flat on my back for two weeks, already very skinny but lost 10 pounds in weight. Took me nearly two years to feel anywhere near normal again. Everything tasted differently to me for a long time and my college course had to be pushed back one year then two years. It did go eventually and I started running and haven’t stopped since.
Hi eve may I ask what were your symptoms back then? Do u have Instagram
I had Covid in May of 2020. I had a high fever and I was pretty sick, but I got better and I thought that was the end of it. Boy was I wrong. I've had 2 years of headaches, hair loss, anxiety, depression, arthritis, GI problems, brain fog, fatigue, fevers and now autoimmune issues. You feel good for a few weeks, but then it just starts right up again. I have wondered if it's all in my head or if I'm going crazy. It's maddening.
No, it's not in your head, and you are not crazy. I am at 2 years of long covid nightmare too. I can totally relate to you. Hugs

Increase your intake of Vitamin D3 and get in the sun and get fresh air every day. Vitamin D3 levels and sunlight are key in Covid infections. Watch the videos of Dr Sehault.

I cant express how much this video touched my heart. Thanks guys
I really needed to watch this interview. That's my story to the letter.
After three bouts of anaphylaxis my allergist sent me to a hematologist fearing leukemia. A complete blood workup indicated nothing wrong.
My symptoms were like those of someone with MCAS, MS, mitochondria NAD+ deficiency, and mitochondria deficiency.
I was reactive to food items and the environment that never bothered me before.
I hit on the idea of monitoring my glucose levels avoiding sugars and carbs. I felt better within a short time. And, I also avoided gluten, and adapted a diet akin to someone with M.S. It seems to work for me, but I still have ups and downs.
Thank you for this..This makes sense to me...I feel major diet and lifestyle changes will always help.

Welcome to my life. I’m 72, and a polio survivor. I was 4 years old when I had polio. Forty five years later symptoms of polio started to slowly return. My life with Post Polio has been a slow but sure return to all the effects I thought I left behind.
Poliomelita is the next bio-engineered pathogen they are planning for October.
I’m sorry! Did you have Covid too?
Uuuuuugh, I'm so sorry. I myself got Mono in '04, then the Virus (Epstein Barr) Reactivated in '18 and seemingly this year as well...with a bout of Shingles in between in '07...and symptoms progressed, energy is just not the same, and neither is the balance in my head/lightheadedness/dizziness, etc. I feel your pain, and wish well for you.

Thanks for sharing. I’m still suffering after almost two years. Shortness of breath, palpitations, short term memory, dizziness, and unbelievable fatigue. So far nothing on is found through many test.

Thank you for this. Makes me feel I that I’m not alone
There needs to be more attention to autoimmune diseases as they are directly related. I already had Lyme, Epstein Barr, Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS and then got a horrible case of Covid (before the vaccine for those who think it's the problem, insulting). I didn't know what was going on because it was not respiratory, it was vascular. Fried my heart and my brain. I live with extreme tinnitus, NO energy, mental problems, numbness, heart palpitations, etc... I am still not hearing anyone else talk about how bad it can get. I am low income and get no treatment for any of this, doctors never acknowledged my autoimmune issues and surely could care less about long covid. Please include the poor in your research.
Sending you good energy and light. Chronic Lyme and pain are no joke.
@@FacheChanteDeux Thank you so much. 💗
Yes! Agreed, patients with autoimmune disease already suspect underlying viruses (EPV, etc) as the “origin” of illness, so I think eventually the two shall meet for longcovid too, the shocked patients will become like us and drs will finally connect viruses with AI too.
@@layercakearts I think it's most connected with ME/CFS unfortunately as it does not show in the blood like EBV. Hopefully someday doctors will care about things they can't figure out.
Steve Kirsh on substack and rumble. He was injured and is speaking out.
Since Feb. 2020 for me. Very bad, feel like I can't get up out of bed. Worry about bedsores, which soulnds crazy. Just don't want to get up. I'm NOT lazy. Hard to explain
Only the rich and connected get help . All of us , the "other" get to suffer . We have to try and figure it out on our own.
Help you need it is for free, it's the motivational part they get with mony, it's easy that you train with someone, you fell connected you feel loved in a way.
So... in this misery state you are, you have to find pure self love and love more. 🙂
The recovery techniques and stories are all over the internet. But you will have to address all aspects of life, like a rusty Swiss watch...
With love, Mike. 😊
This story completely ignores the potential benefits of treating and recovering the gut!!! Why is food and supplements always left out of the story in the western medical world? It is very frustrating. Read Fiber Fueled or watch any of Dr. Michael Greger's books, heal your microbiome.

It’s been almost two years since I was infected with Covid. The long Covid has given me: shortness of breath, cognitive issues, palpitations, fatigue beyond what tiredness. I have weakness, balance issues. Just treading water praying for some relief. For now I live in a dark tunnel going forward each day as it comes.
I really want to see the late Dr. Lee Jong-Wook(The 6th Director-General of WHO) even more in this COVID-19 situation.
Thank u for this. I’m being effected by it now. It’s painful and causing extreme stress to me.
I’m right there with you buddy still getting stabbing pains in my chest get out of breath, easy can’t do anything always feel tired
Have been struggling since 2016 with weakness fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, brain fog which got way worse after 2020 Covid for 8 mo's.now recovering from it again terrified of long Covid again
I lost my sense of taste and smell 2 years and 4 months ago. Went to every doctor. Now I found a clinical trial. Hope this works.
Guys listen if you are in long covid then start fasting ,, 16h for 12 days to 1 month and then slowly start doing push-up workouts ,, these 2 things are the game changer ,,,and for the supplements take NAC, antihistamine h1 h2 vitamin c ,d and multi vitamins👍... remember fasting is the key and chest workouts ...you have to have to do it these 2 things
NOTE 1ST HALF DAY OF FASTING CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT BUT IN EVENING YOU WILL FEEL BETTER ,,AND WORKOUTS ONLY RECOMMEND BEFORE YOU 1ST MEAL OF THE DAY
I understand how the first patient is feeling. I have sudden exhaustion like him. I lost my taste and smell with my last bout of Covid but I have no sense of hungry or being filled since I begin tasting and smelling again.
I have it. I have very bad chronic fatigue, memory issues, breathless, I just got diagnosed with diastolic dysfunction and I also have severe gastrointestinal issues. This worries me because I am supposed to start working tomorrow and sometimes I have to use the bathroom like 10 times an hour. That will not go over well with the supervisor. It's been about 11 days to the year since I got covid. My Dr hasn't even written "long covid" on my chart. He has no clue
I appreciate your post and am so sorry you’re having these challenges. I got Covid last month with cold/flu like symptoms and then seemed to recover for a few days. Then, I began experiencing gastrointestinal issues as well. I have a lot of discomfort abdominally and with what I believe to be accompanying referred pains/aches in my back.
I feel like I have a fever, but my temperature is fine, even though I am clammy to the touch. My tops of my toes are tender and my hand have a numb-like feeling often. I have fatigue on sone days that is quite dramatic.
Unrelated to Covid (as I hadn’t had it at that time), I had cat scans and bloodwork done in March - all of which, thankfully, showed no areas of concern. Yet, I feel this way more often than not. I haven’t found anything that helps.
I wish you all the best on your health journey.
Hi. So you have had gut issues for almost a year??
@@JayTsay yeah
Candida overgrowth in the intestinal tract, cause irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and intestinal permability (leaky gut). Or maybe parasite infection. I would follow the protocol for Candida overgrowth and parasite cleanse. You should research.
@@randallhesse5011 thank you, I will. Yes , from reading about it, I think I am experiencing IBS. I've never had this before. One weird thing tho, I never drank milk or ate a lot of dairy before COVID. But when I got out of the hospital I drank 3 gallons in a month. I couldn't get enough. Maybe that did it .
Why not share the medication and therapy that’s helped her?
The impact on people who then lose their jobs will have a lasting impact on the long term and short term disability through the Social Security admin and workforce shortages continuing.
Long Covid is real. I can verify. Was 36 with no health problems prior to Covid. Now I need several naps per day just to make it through the day without being completely fatigued. It’s been over a year now and not much improvement despite trying to exercise more.
How are you today?
how do you feel right now? any better?
I was disappointed that you only interviewed White people as we know Covid has effected communities of color more. Also, many people with long-Covid are not getting better and have lost their job, housing and friends. By focusing on these two people that have gotten better, who are strenuously exercising is doing a grave dis-service to those who are not getting better and especially to those who get worse through exercise. I’m very disappointed in this very narrow and potentially damaging profile. Please do better next time.
^ ^ YES
This is absolutely TRUE
My whole life has changed since last December, I'm praying for all of us!!
Samee
Vaccinated and 1 booster, my Doc says I have long COVID, possibly because of my neurological disease. it's real and grateful I am able to work, but not working at my best.
Feel better. Get the next vaccine coming out this Fall. The new strain is highly contagious and no joke.
Maybe look up FLCCC, they're from Canada, they have protocols for those issues.
how you feel now?
@@FacheChanteDeux how you feel now?
I can relate! As someone who suffers from asthma if people don't see me choking on air or passing out its like its unreal to them. I never thought I would develop asthma in my 30's and didn't know I had a family history with asthma until recently. Its like you have to have something visible like a missing limb or disfigurement for people to take you seriously. I was shocked myself when my doctor diagnosed me because I had continued shortness of breath off and on for close to a year.
Try vitamin b
There is a good video of the University of California on Asthma and a disbalance in your gut microbiome as its cause. You might wanna give it a watch.
It's called "The Human Microbiome: A New Frontier in Health" The part on asthma starts at 31:00 min
There are promising studies on children with asthma. They healed more than 90% by gut mircrobiome transplantations.
how do you feel right now? any improvements?
I hope cities like Albany Ga and Tampa Florida check reports of those who have gotten sick from COVID-19.
Thank you for sharing this.
I have severe numbness in both hands and the fatigue is horrible. Just doing simple tasks like cutting the grass wipes me out. I feel like someone is pushing down on my shoulders.
Hello. I've had residual problems post acute Covid infection since late March 2020. Primarily breathing problems, fatigue. Out of the 4 theories of possible causation, the last one, residual remnants of the infection, ring most true. I've almost felt like I have a little "splinter" of leftover infection that needs to be pulled from my lungs. That would relieve it. My sense is that an antiviral might help, but to date that prospect remains sketchy as far as I know. It would be a good area to research. Sharing to try to help people - would like to know what kind of medication Camille, the runner, has been on. Thanks for sharing.

Why is it that the medical community is not concerned about curing cancer?
I hate to say this: thank you long COVID because hopefully less people will dismiss fibromyalgia as nonsense! But good luck finding diagnostic criteria, let alone treatment, let alone cure!
I really hope this helps and that worldwide healthcare services start believing patients even if the scans and tests don’t come back with any problems - just believing patients about their symptoms is so important.
It’s very unnerving that people are being forced back to work when they aren’t well because they can’t afford it and they can’t access medical and financial help.
So many people are really suffering with diverse Long Covid symptoms - some are recovering and some are still suffering.
I hope that the world healthcare service and other government services and workplaces start to take people who are suffering seriously and help them.
Our Dad was an Endocrinologist / Allergist, and very leery of corticosteroid uses. But I think he would have agreed with me that Long COVID might be an auto-immune endovasculitis of our smallest blood vessels, even past the ‘blood-brain’ barrier! His Uncle had finally died of the Postencephalitic Parkinsonism from the 1918 Flu Pandemic, in his eighties.
It’s not symptoms. It’s a series of debilitating conditions. It’s an insane suffering every day all day. This isn’t a runny nose. It’s not just shortness of breathe. We need to work on how we describe long covid. This isn’t a cold.
I know I'm late to the party but just wanted to say I hope you are getting better, you described what I'm dealing with, I'm over two years in and a combination of symptoms, it's so frustrating. Only thing at all helps is OTC Claritin and saline nasal spray but still miserable. Have you found anything that helps? Sending good thoughts and hoping you recover fully
😂😂😂 🐑
Long term covid is like Fibromyalgia. Welcome.
Fibromyalgia is Fibromyalgia, CFS/ME is CFS/ME and long covid is long covid i think, they have all difrent and the same symptoms.
I think will all got super sensitive and deregulated central nervous system and we just have to rewire everything, but this is complicated, long, and hard, its a love process. 🧐
With love, Mike 🙂
Those of us with Long Covid have to find the Drs in the know of Long Covid. Its really a shame since the NIH offered Billions of Dollars for Research. Why isn't it happening? It is so Frustrating until you find a Dr who is in the Know. SurvivorCore is Helpful. Demand that areas in your Community start the Research. We all cannot go to the Big Cities where the Research is. Stay Positive!!
Great article!
That's me, alright! ☹️
Long Covid or effects from the “vaccine”? How many of these people took the shot?
Its been alongside 1.5 yrs I contracted covid .... it’s getting worse , more fatigue & low on energy . Feeling for me lifecwill end soon
In 2020 I told a physician in April that Covid19 causes long term health effects, including the heart. He said, “no, I have not heard of any of that”. I said, “you will”
Somehow, I gained advanced insight into the devastation of SARSCOV2 on the human body. Fast forward to 2022, and I guess you can say ‘I’ was right.
Long Covid19 is real. Usually with time, it gets better. But you must choose a healthy lifestyle thereafter.
Most American physicians are trained by White Supremacist ideology framework in medicine, hence why majority of people with long-covid are minorities and are not getting treatment.
Liar
how do you feel right now? any better?
I have it - fatique i never had before and palpitations which makes it very hard to work out and ive gained 25 lbs after covid. Im in my thirties and very active. All this after a terrible covid with shortness of breath.
These random hives and rashes that have come out of nowhere are the most annoying thing to deal with. Anyone else been experiencing this after having no past history of this type of issue? I'm on day five and the rashes just keep coming and going unless I take Benadryl. Has anyone gone through this and recovered?
Im going on 2 years now
I really want to see the data on those that are suffering from "long covid". Is it higher in vaccinated or unvaccinated? Is it those that had underlying conditions? Is it those that developed new health issues after following all the protocols over those who didn't? Is it people who used natural remedies or those who use pharmaceuticals? Lots of questions, very few answers.
Higher in the unvaccinated who are not dead. There are stats out there.
From what I can gather, being fully vaxed & boosted is your best bet. It won't keep you from getting it, but it will help prevent you from getting seriously ill. Even better than that is not getting it in the first place. So your best bet there is to social distance & wear a mask (make sure it's an N95) when you're indoors. No guarantees but doing those two things (staying up to date on your vax & wearing a mask indoors) is what will give you the best chance of not getting seriously ill from covid.
@@FacheChanteDeux Can you post where that is found please. Do you personally only know vaccinated people who have survived covid? Do you know unvaccinated who have survived or did all the people you personally know who are unvaccinated die? What were the circumstances of both?
@@lynnturman8157 Your response was much more kind than FacheChanteDeux. Thank you.
Check out FLCCC for long Covid protocol and information.
Why isn't Dr. Bruce Patersons team being contacted for help!? They have been working on Long Covid for 2 years now
How many people with long covid have been vaccinated???
Tons. I know people both vaccinated and not vaccinated suffering daily
I've just resigned myself to long haul being a new part of my life. I've had just about every malady you can think of the last two years. I had to retire early and can barely handle my part time retirement gig, which is pretty easy. I'm trying to get back into shape and that is helping, but I find myself wiped out and tired to the point of not wanting to go out and do anything, no matter what it is. My taste and smell are still minimal. I'm trying to give myself a break when I can't work, or go out to play. My doc doesn't really know what to do, we have done every test in the book and everything comes out 'normal'...My hope is that is goes away eventually. Sick of being a lonely hermit nobody understands. One good thing has come from it though. My doc thought I was depressed and she recommended I talk to a phycologist. It took a while to find one with a open spot, but he has really helped me deal with long haul and to clean up some personal messes from the past I was still carrying around. All I can say to others with long haul, hang in there! Give yourself a break and never give up trying to have a good life!
I caught Covid two months ago..nose dripping and headaches..lasts three four days but than it turned into walking pneumonia..caught it again two weeks ago with cough cough cough..that's past but still tired with coughing up mucus all the time..when will it go away?
how you feel now?
8:25 A look back on the composer who made the James Bond theme later on Sunday Morning
Been sick for 2 decades after mono. Disabled..
Almost 2 year's later my muscles hurt especially my in my legs. It's almost like it accelerated my arthritis, fatigue since im most likely suffering fibro previously. I can't stay up later than 9 and was a nightowl. I wonder is it depression is it because I stopped moving after my horrible first covid sickness or did it ruin my body?
how you feel now?
A lot of patients can’t get physical therapy or medications or any Drs who can help. This is also an equality issue.

maybe you just need to update your vaccine/booster
Six. Months on, my taste is still messed up! Sucks…
how you feel now?
Remember what Trump told US COVID-19 was like & when it would be over more than two years ago?
Thank you
Since I was on life support due to COVID-19 my symptoms have been evolving , even my eyes are being effected.....I have been loosing hope more and more each day !
This has been going on for over a year now.
In fact it may be going on two years...please help.
It’s about damn time I’ve suffered with effects of my life with CHRONIC LYME BABESIOSIS POTS INSOMNIA oh and that’s not even the worst I HAVE CHRONIC PAIN as a result and I’m getting weaned off morphine for some reason. 3 years ago I was in the hospital and a doctor told me there was no proof chronic Lyme existed. Do do better GET IT TOGETHER AND BETTER NOW! I’m not even listing all my symptoms, so you don’t need to care unless you care.
