    Thank you for this video. I found I'm already taking many of the same supplements, and you introduced me to a few new ones. I am Keto for the past 6 years as a preventative measure against dementia, since there is so much of it in my family. Many of the supplements I take for that crossed over into your long covid supplement choices. My long Covid symptoms include the brain fog, headaches, head stabs, fluctuating vision issues. It's hard for me to know am I getting the dementia I fear so much or is this more the Covid issue. Either way it seems my supplement choices overlap for both. As hard as it is to see you deal with the emotions that came up for you doing this video, its a testament to your healing that you could feel those emotions. May you continue to heal and thrive

    Thanks for the information. Last August, I was given prednisone for a sinus infection. I was extremely allergic to it and developed steroid psychosis. That was hell in itself but three weeks later, I got COVID. And for almost a year, I’ve had long COVID that was torture. The physical aspects were bad, weakness, easily fatigue, muscles aches, etc. But the anxiety, depression, brain fog were horrific. I wanted to leave this world many days. Now I’m about 80-85% better but still have bad days. I had not heard anyone talk about the feeling of “impending doom”. That is exactly how I felt most days for 9 months and still some days now. Thank you for validating my feelings. I am looking into many of the options that helped you so I thank you for sharing. May you recover fully. And I hope we all get out of this suffering and experience joy in our lives again.

      I’m so sorry to hear you also have suffered with this beast. Yes the impending doom feeling was the absolute worst! I’m sorry you went through that for 9 months. I also get what you say when you talk about wanting to leave. I felt that many days as well.
      I’m so glad you are feeling 80-85% better! Keep fighting and pushing and may you heal soon. ❤

    Thank you for these important information, I recommend 2 important supplements of which I have felt almost immediate benefits, especially for the brain:
    1) LITHIUM Orotate (5-10 mg per day)
    2) Nattokinase (2000 FU per day)
    After several researches by various doctors, I have noticed that these two elements can help a lot!
    Now, thanks to new studies published revealing a direct action against the spike and systemic inflammation, I want to try these very important elements too:
    - NAC 1-2 g per day
    - Glycine 1-2 g per day
    - Bromelain
    the latter must be taken at the same time to have a synergistic and empowering effect.
    May everyone get well soon!

    I relate so much to your story. I had the same neurological symptoms and took 99% of the supplements you mentioned. Breathwork, meditation, brain training also helped me. I feel at 99% and sometimes even better than before I was ill. I also did EMDR for trauma, and I am much better but its still a work in progress. The tinnitus still lingering but only at night.
    Did you test your genes? I am MTHFR Compound homozygous. It reduces the body’s ability to absorb folate and that reduces body detox capacity. It helped a lot in cleaning my genes and to customize my supplementation better.
    Thanks for sharing your story!

I used Strategene but it’s temporarily unavailable. I recommend Dr Ben Lynch book Dirty Genes to understand and learn what can “clean” your genes. He has a RUclips channel and I use some of his supplements.
      I didnt mention it earlier but I also did acupuncture and it helped a LOT. And did brain retraining too, which I still use some techniques daily (visualizations, positive affirmations, etc.) They help me elevate my mood and I want to keep developing my emotional and physical resilience.

    I am on many of the supplements you spoke of--I'm also a experimenting person--but after 15 months I am frustrated with continued post exertional malaise, which leads to flare ups. Did you suffer from this? What helped you for this (or your best guess)?

      I hope it helps you!
      I didn’t have a ton of PEM but I did have what I would say is a light version of it. At the beginning of my long haul I never left the dark bedroom.
      At about 8 months I started doing small walks and then longer ones at 12 months.
      Then I slowly integrated myself back to the gym. Started with just going there for the sauna and cold plunge. Did that for a couple of months then got the courage to start small weights 2x a week.
      I am now back to 4-5 times a week. I do find sometimes I do get overdone with this plan. When I do I scale back the workouts and do more of my calming mitigations as well. It’s gotta be a balance between physical health and mental health. They do overlap though.
      I find the heavy weights really help my panic and fight or flight.
      Sorry probably not the best help as I PEM was not one of my main symptoms.
      In terms of pacing though. I did everything I could to do the above process very slowly. I think the anxiety side was the hardest for me so even being around ppl was a struggle and I had to pace myself way back to being around anyone.

    • @raina5579
      @raina5579 Год назад

      @beatinglongcovid thank you for breaking it down for me. I am encouraged to start a weight plan. Start light--soup cans--and see if I can start building muscle back. I can walk for a while but only if it is slow walking. No pushing, no exertion.
      I'll start at home so I don't have that social stress taking my energy.
      All the best!

    I suffer from covid induced chronic inflammatory flares, where I start most days fine but then almost any action or food will put my entire body into an intense inflammatory state. For example just sitting for too long, AC on my body, bad food, immune stimulating supplements, etc. Naps will sometimes reset me, or some of the tools you suggested (meditation, breathwork, grounding, etc).
    But I'm going on friggin 3 years of this now with early 2020 infection then 2022 reinfection made it much much worse. Some days I understand why chronic pain patients just decide to give up, it's a lot to handle and so hard. I just want my life back. I've yet to figure out how to make the flares go away permanently. I can't plan normal day to day activities and my family is growing up before my eyes with me in bed most days. Hard to process this is my reality and continue to have hope years in and covid is here to stay.

      @@beatinglongcovid Thanks, some days are definitely better than others and I’m thankful to not be fatigued when not inflamed.
      Oh no! That awful you’re infected again. I didn’t know what to do at the time and had two young kids that I had to care for so I wore a mask to limit the additional viral load between us. At the time I took black seed oil 3x a day which I had read works as a natural Jax inhibitor and I recently I saw a trial where they’re using Baricitinib in long haulers. No idea how they compare as jax inhibitors but it suggested I was on the right track. Patients taking Baricitinib during acute covid had better outcomes. (It had a black box warning though, so.. buyer beware)
      I up my dose of NAC, gluthione and glutione recyclers. Mega dose vitamin D and sunshine, sleep, meditation, LMNT electrolytes. Vitamin A, B complex. I use liquid health brand which is the best I’ve found, they use all natural sources. They have one called ‘neurologic’ which is awesome. And I use their ‘complete’.
      I had Paxlovid but didn’t end up trying it because at the time I wasn’t convinced it would help or rebound me.

      Hey there! LDN In the early days. I think it did help but isn’t on my top list like most other. I had some side effects at the 4.5 mg. So I dropped it back to 1mg then got off.
      I found the Fluvoxamine to be a big big helper. I started very low with an apprehension as it’s an ssri but had no side effects.
      If your struggling with neuro symptoms I highly recommend speaking with your doctor about fluvox. Read all the studies and make the best choice you can.
      My philosophy was there is no harm in trying anything. You must trial all sorts of stuff as all of our bodies are different.
      I would say I am 99% better. I think a lot less about LC now, it used to consume my daily thoughts and all energy!
