The sad part is, they didn’t take this serious until athletic started showing signs DISGUSTING Drs didn’t believe regular folks but as soon as the athletic started showing signs HERE WE ARE 🙄

My super healthy 50 year old daughter was vaccinated (she’s a respiratory therapist) got Covid and never got better. She’s been on long term disability for a year. It’s frightening!
How do you know it’s from Covid and not the experimental vaccine?
So it was the "vaccine".
I’m so very sorry. I pray she endures and gets better ❤❤
Reading all these comments had a two-sided emotional effect on me. On one hand I feel some sort of relief knowing I'm not the only one going through this. All those doctors I went to, saying everything was fine, all those tests that came back "OK", doctors saying I was just anxious and that's it. On the other hand, I feel terribly fatalist about this because it all seems to point to the fact that my condition won't get better in the short term. Maybe it never will. I'm 27, got covid March 2021, I never had to visit the hospital, never had a fever, barely had a cough, O2 saturation always above 95% and still... I have palpitations from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep and I can feel them on different parts of my body but mainly around chest, neck and head. My breathing feels weird all the time, like my lungs always keep asking for more air no matter how deep I breathe, I get tired so easily, everything I eat hits like a brick on my stomach, I can barely exercise anymore, my body experiences anxiety-related symptoms without being anxious at all, I feel dizzy sometimes for no reason, I have a lot of trouble focusing during work or studying, my memory isn't the same, I just don't feel the same. I'm not me anymore. Hopefully there will be a solution, even if just partial, to this in the future. I'm not optimistic. Thanks, Wuhan Institute of Virology.
That sounds incredibly rough!! I'm SOOOO sorry you're experiencing this. You're not alone. Thank you for sharing all your symptoms. Were you vaccinated at all prior to being infected? Did you get a vaccine after the infection, and if so, did it allieve any symptoms?
@@rupertperiwinkle4477 Hi! No, I was not vaccinated then. Vaccines weren't available in my country at the time. I got two jabs of the Sinopharm vaccine on August 2021. No improvement on symptoms. The only thing that has helped a bit for focus and memory is taking 500mg of Citicoline twice a day.
Thanks for your questions and good wishes!
This describes exactly my situation. I developed trouble sleeping roughly 2 months ago. Whenever I sleep I don't seem so get enough oxygen. Whenever I wake up I have to take a few full breaths of air just to feel like I'm getting enough air. My doctor tells me it's just anxiety, but I know it's not.
@@TheSpicySimon Hi, sorry to hear that. During the acute phase of my covid infection I remember one time I woke up like 5 times in the middle of night gasping for air. Never happened again thankfully. It's a terrible feeling. I can only recommend you talking to a doctor specialized in inmunology/infectious disease and see what they can help you with. Maybe a neurologist too.
Thank you for sharing this. Best wishes!
@@TheSpicySimon okay the same thing is happening to me NOW a good 15 months after I had COVID. As in I never had acute covid, it was super mild and neither did I have it rough after that. This suddenly started happening like a good 9-14 months AFTER COVID. What could this be?
So many high-functioning athletes have been impacted. These are not people with comorbidities. Many are very young and were in excellent condition.
Many high functioning athletes and people have been struck down by ME. A quick google on athletes with mecfs will give you a significant list of athletes who had a viral infection like ebv and never fully recovered.
@@dansmith9724 what does ME stand for?
myalgic encephalomyelitis
Bobybuilder 205lbs, no health issues all the way through when i tested positive 12/2/20. Today i am 160lbs, i'm weak, limited on everything i do. My last symptoms is brain fog low mood fatigue and cognitive dysfunction. i want my life back. it's been 15 months. i can't work i can't have a relationship with my family because my brain feels empty.
@@veloonbruts9707 My heart goes out to you. I stopped bodybuilding and have gained bodyfat due to fatigue. I can work from home, however my energy for physical endeavors is almost non-existent. I could go on in detail, but suffice it to say I want my life back too. Thank you for your honesty.
The problem is that doctors don’t listen. When I visit my physician she just keeps telling me how healthy I am even before she’s done testing on me. I think it’s sort of a mind game on her part. If she tells me I’m healthy I’ll believe it and go home. But going to the grocery store requires a three hour nap due to the fatigue. It wasn’t like that before I had COVID.
Agreed. I caught it in 2020 from my brother. My brother caught it at an office Christmas party. Not rocket science. The doctor wrote in the notes that I caught it at a party. Huge difference. I went Karen on him.
totally get you
My doctor tells me it's "psychological", and on the lungs damage she tells me to exercise ( I can barely breath when I do ) 🤦🏻♀️.
Some doctors need to have their license revoked.
@@DaMugix3 This is the problem every long covid patient is facing.Many of them suffer every day with chest tightness, breathlessness, fatigue,dizziness,heart racing and much more but everyone says iys psychological. I understand some of it is anxiety,but the symptoms are real and debilitating as per my experience as a long hauler.I am post covid one year and still struggling with symptoms. Anxiety ofcourse increase the symptoms but they are real.There could be many reasons like muscle weakness,healing fibrosis etc,but my chest speacialist says this ll go with time as the fibrosis after corona is resolving in almost all patients but gradually.So we need to be patient,take intermittent rest,good diet and be positive.
@@sleekoduck I know what you mean by medical personnel Not listening!! From just one visit to the ER for severe pasthma flare up, starting from a cold, I found in my medical records that I have smoked my whole life, and that I ride bikes up sand dunes.
I told them NEVER in my whole life have I smoked. And until recently, I was able to climb dunes on a trip to MI, and ride my bike for miles in a stretch on trails in MO. There have been other visits to the ER with the same problem, every other year, or so, with equally bizarre things they claim I said, just by going on the questions they ask me later in the visits. It's amazing too, that when a person Says they are short of breath, how much they try to make one talk to answer those darn questions!! Just let me breathe, people!!
Then they have different ones coming in to ask the same darn questions, again!!
I’m still a 12 yr old kid and I’m still recovering from long covid. I have to walk with a stick, and I had to spend my 12th birthday alone. I got it in January and I’m fully vaccinated. My mom was concerned I might have gotten a multi system inflammatory disease that can be found with kids with Covid so I went to the hospital and they did a million tests and said I was ok. My blood pressure was high and it was a bad experience because I could barely walk down the stairs at the time. They gave me a round of fluids and sent me home. My mom is still worried for me so we’re taking the summer off to help me get stronger and it’s working so far. I walked 3 miles in nyc the other day! (I was tired afterward) but yeah. Not a lot of kids go through long covid but I’m glad that it was me over any of my friends. I’m still glad I was healthy and I was a dancer. I lost all my muscle tone and thought I would die. I still get very tired and after doing something big one day I need to have 1-2 rest days to recover. I definitely matured while having covid and I was facing big grief as well because my dad died around 5 months prior to having covid, and I had time to process my feelings instead of being distracted with school and dance and friends. Don’t recommend
Both a coworker and I used ArtemiC Rescue when we had Covid and we were both well again within 3 days. And recently someone in the house tested positive so I started using the ArtemiC Support covid defense drops and I never developed any symptoms despite having somebody who had tested positive in the house. Of key importance was of course that I had the ArtemiC bottle in my refrigerator and being able to use it immediately.
ArtemiC Support is also used for Long.💤💤💤

how you feel now?
@@sozinho_9894 better, I’m getting out of having to walk with a stick and recovery is going good!
@@sarenastarz you need time for recovery. You gonna be fine i`m sure
What about people who have been sick with long covid for 2.5 yrs. Long covid is caused by SarsCov2 virus, a Sars virus which is known to cause post infection disase, just like Mono-ME. People have been sick for over 3 decades!! People desperately need help!!
Me/cfs needs more attention and finding by the nih and cdc. Ifs always being gaslighted
I agree - millions have suffered ME/CFS from EBV (mononucleosis) and borreliosis ("chronic Lyme disease"). I remember when fibromyalgia was widely considered a phony disease/disorder. For what little we know about any of it, there is no reason to believe they are separate mechanisms.
On the plus side, there has been a lot more research into the syndrome because of the sudden surge with COVID-19. It is one of the worst things that could happen to people who have developed the syndrome through COVID infection, but one of the best things that could happen to those who were already struggling with it when nobody cared. There was no light at the end of the tunnel for them, and now there is a glimmer. Help is on its way.
Anyone else feels so tired they can’t find words or express themselves like before? I’m so tired I can’t talk properly anymore. It’s insane, I’m 35.
Yes, I feel extremely tired after covid

Yeah covid has messed up my family big time. Dad has breathing issues, my focus is considerably lower than before covid and mom has brain damage that seems to be permanent. All in all not a fun time and it pisses me off that people treat it as a joke. You guys have any idea how depressing it is to go from a bright student that was able to run multiple microbiology experiments at once to not being able to remember if the hot plate was turned off or not? To see your dad not being able to lift a box because his lungs hurt to breathe? Your mom having seizures and hallucinations on top of not being able to follow a thought process for no more than a few seconds from brain damage?
May God bless you and your family
Do some research into nootropics and neuroplasticity. Do you think you're the first smart person to face adversity in life? The smartest girl in my school got into a car accident that killed five girls and was in a coma for three weeks. She still became a math professor in spite of the trauma and seizures.
I feel for you and your family. Life hasn't exactly been the same for me either.
I hope a good treatment is found for this condition soon enough. My thoughts are with you all.
I can help you and your family.
Jabbed??
I'm young 30's, I had my yearly health check and passed with no issues, got covid (Delta) 5 days later. I now have a heart condition requiring medication every 12 hours so I don't have a stroke or heart attack. My symptoms are still not completely controlled and I have to get checked every fortnight.
I feel so sorry for you and wish you a quick and complete recovery!

@@ralfoxygen1374 Sounds good, hope it helps. My lungs were clear the whole time but the high blood pressure and heart rate makes it feel like someone is leaning against you're chest. Everyone but 1 person got it in my house, they spent most time with the initial positive person too...
I have got Long COVID. I had 3 jabs and still got it
My sincere condolences. Sadly, there is no guarantee; we are left to do what we see is best and hope for the best.

How did that happen?
do you guys think whether it could be due to 5g..
@@segtha7389 No, but 6G definitely
Knowing I’m not alone is helpful but wouldn’t wish what I’m going through on anyone else!
After getting what I assume was covid, I started to experience around 20 different symptoms including dizziness, heart palpitations, joint pain, low-grade fever etc. etc... Turned out I have POTS (my heart beat was 130 upon standing) and it lasted for a year and 3 months and my heart still isn't working normally. People are talking about 12 weeks... That's when you are lucky. I know people that are still ill after more than 2 years after getting covid. But anyway, my POTS subsided after taking a lot of iron, drinking vegetable juice and forcing myself to sit and stand. But still after one and a half year I have some crazy symptoms like hearing my voice only in my left ear when I open my mouth, dizziness when moving my head, exercise intolerance, skipping heart beats, allergy to histamine, joint pain, low-grade fever, nerve damage, left hand numbness and many more.
For all ur symptoms take Nattokinase and Serrapeptase... Its all due to blood clots....
Holy i think I'm going through this too. From a head injury though. I think mine is hyper pots and I'm currently using gaba mag,melatonin and a cardio selective beta blocker. You find iron helps hey? Can't hurt.
@@RaneBane I feel for you and keep my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery! I took iron because POTS symptoms are similar to anemia symptoms, plus I had other anemia symptoms like white inner side of lower eyelid, pale skin, shortness of breath, and that tachycardia. So, with nothing to lose, I started taking iron and after about 2 weeks it went away, my skin color came back, and the inside of my lower eyelids turned red because they had a good blood supply. After a couple of months since then the POTS has not returned, but I still have a slightly elevated pulse when standing, but it is no longer 130, but 90 or so. In addition, I discovered that I have twisted vertebrae in my spine and a crooked posture, and this can also contribute to POTS, because the vertebrae can press on the vagus nerve.
@@grochzielony My neck pain/stiffness came on stronger from my conk right around the time these other symptoms did. I thought the vagus nerve aswell. Pain is really motivating. Good luck on your recovery.
Seem like I just recovered from the palpitation slight chest pains and cramps shortness of breath brain fog all the symptoms get worse when I smoke marijuana that's why I can't smoke that much no more but I seem to be doing better then it comes and it goes still believe is radiation sickness from all electronic devices we all use
Certain viruses have been linked to developing cancers or autoimmune conditions. Epstein Barr Virus has recently been linked to developing MS for example. Let’s hope Covid doesn’t end up causing things down the road.
You took an experiment drug during its trials and your worried about covid? Are people still that asleep?
@@georgiosmtl Have concerns abt both
@@georgiosmtl but it’s not experimental. It seems you don’t understand what experimental really means.
@@salsa564 In my book 'experimental' means that they put a huge DISCLAIMER right across the front of it before unleashing it on the population.
Nope. Experimental is when the tests aren't complete until 2023 and the informed consent cautions sheet was BLANK. Absolutely 100% experimental GMO.
I'm just so beyond sick of it now...
It looks like it’s not just a flu after all.
It’s a leftist fake disease also known as “liberal laziness”.
It never was! And anyone claiming this doesnt understand basic microbiology nor virology. Just peddlars of misinformation for their crazy agendas!
Very similar, certainly nowhere near as lethal as ebola or smoking/drinking/obesity even.
Flu can cause ongoing health issues as well. An acquaintance got ‘glass lung’ from a severe flu long before COVID.
@@1987dfa you clearly haven't experienced long covid
I agree, it’s going to have a massive impact. I used to work out often, now I can only really walk and hike a little. The work outs set me back.
mRNA Kills
I have ME/chronic fatigue syndrome and this sounds very similar when it comes to symptoms
I’m really excited about the research being done into long covid so that people like us who suffer from ME/CFS can possibly have some hope. It’s one of the few things keeping me going.
@@MissBlueEyeliner I'm hoping it will provide some breakthroughs with fibromyalgia too, since they are basically sister conditions.
@@georgiasoaps fingers crossed 🤞 💕
Yes, I too have ME, which I developed after viral infection in 1991, I'm hoping this research will increase understanding, and hopefully find treatments for this illness.
Yes many covid long haulers say it is like me/cfs.
i STILL meet people who haven't even heard of long covid. AND still also carry a belief that if you are FIT, that you will be FINE. that covid won't be severe or that you will recover quick.
Yep, and that's completely untrue. A friend of mine is extremely fit, healthy, and young (early 30's) and has been suffering from brain fog and memory issues ever since his last covid infection.

You probly believe there weren’t hundreds of thousands of reported adverse side effects lol good luck with your cult
Kyle Sawkon What are you talking about? I am one of the people that believes about the side effects.
Fortunately, a majority (maybe only a bare majority) will recover completely. The tragedy is divided among those who die outright and those who are left functionally disabled for indefinite periods. After two years we still don't know much about the disease in terms of how it affects its victims. We can't predict who will be mildly ill for a week or two and return to their lives, which will be stomped into the ground in days, and which will struggle with debilitating fatigue (would be more accurately called Chronic Exhaustion Syndrome) or "brain fog."
As I learned more about Long COVID I was struck by the prevalence of athletes, particularly marathoners, in the most severely affected by the lingering effects. We are still in the early days of dealing with this menace. Vaccination is a big plus in escaping the long term effects but even that is not 100%. It is just our best bet, aside from being dead serious about staying isolated.
I got covid in July last year and my smell and taste still isn't back to normal 😒. I have been smelling a skunk smell on and off here recently. And I'm always tired, low motivation. And trouble staying asleep all night.
There’s an interesting video about smell training which has led to great results.

Got Covid in May 2022 after attending an indoor concert unmasked (don’t do this). I was fully vaxxed and STILL got a really bad case. It’s September and I still have symptoms but not as bad. I’m a hiker and two months post Covid went back to hiking. The first hike normally would have taken 5 hours….took 9 and I was in agony going down (back and hips). I stuck with it and I am about to do a 300 mile section of the AT despite still having mainly gastrointestinal and hip issues. I will be doing my PT on the trail and I’m sure digging more cat holes than normal. To all of you suffering…..continue to push yourselves HARD!!!!! It takes a LONG time!!!!!

Autoimmune Disease of some sort. Have your doctor do blood work. Godspeed.
@@truthteller4442 bloodwork checked. Everything fine. Diagnosed with me/cfs. No known tests can figure out what’s wrong with me. Classified and neuro immune dysfunction, could be viral persistence, since all my viral titers are pretty high for EBV HHV6 etc
@Anishinaabe was told it could help me. Didn’t wanna carb COVID again. Can’t change the past now. Seems like people who have issues with COVID are more likely to have issues with these really harsh vaccines.
@@mtpetri Hope your condition improves. I've been reading a lot of good information that EBV is a main driver of it. Covid infection causes the immune system to go haywire and latent EBV is allowed to reactivate and cause the chronic fatigue symptoms.
Is there a cell tower close by?
I wish they would care more about Long Lyme. It’s been around since the mid-70’s. Instead, the CDC says it doesn’t exist because it doesn’t fit the patent and the idiot doc who didn’t understand it won’t get his money.
The great hope is that the new focus on the apparently identical Long COVID syndrome will finally bring relief to those who have acquired ME/CFS through Lyme or EBV infection. The syndromes seem to be virtually identical. You now have a lot more comrades in beds.
I believe the reason for foot dragging is that there was no glory to be had in taking on one of the most frustrating disorders that relatively few people suffered from. Now the disorder is still frustrating but could actually have serious consequences for economies around the world. There will still not be an ME/CFS march on Washington (sorry about that) but it can no longer be ignored. When we control the virus we will have to clean up our mess this time.

Not true it exists
I work at a animal hospital and animals get it so can us.I know a friend of mine got it.
We have a lot of deer in my area Nova Scotia Canada
I have similar symptoms but my symptoms are post lyme disease treatment. I have also heard it called post infection syndrome. I heard it called this on SciShow on youtube. I am hoping that the research on long covid might shed some light on why people have chronic lyme disease.
Yeah they can do blood tests
Atlas Pro has a channel about different topics and covered the origins of Lyme's disease in one as he suffers from it himself. His theory is that it originated because Americans wiped out passenger pigeons and the disease carrying deer tick infested field mice filled the niche in the wild. It's a good channel.
@@hannah9649 Lyme testing is unreliable at most labs, it's a long shot if you don't test at the right time. IGenex is the only lab with testing that looks for multiple strains of lyme and co-infections... much more sensitive testing. If you suspect Lyme, insurance companies won't pay for IGenex, but if you are suffering, see if you can get the testing done there.
Have you been tested for Bartonellosis? It's a another disease that can be transferred by ticks and new studies show that most people with "Long Lyme" have active Bartonellosis.
Since both, Bartonella and Covid will lead to vessel inflammation, blood circulation problems, as well as neuro-psychiatric problems, as both diseases can pretty much infect the same cells, it's no surprise that symptoms are quite similar.
I can help you.
My nervous system is completely destroyed. I have anxiety attacks almost daily, IBS, muscle weakness/aches and fatigue. It’s been 3 years now.
I had also suffered with all of these symptoms, fatigue, brain fog, gastrointestinal issues etc for a year after getting sick with covid.
In my experience everytime I ate of drink something that has heat effects to the body, I felt worst and was not able to get better. Than I stopped taking all those things altogether, like drinking coffee, tea, honey, ginger, eating egg plants, mangos, meat, eggs.
I put myself on cooling foods and drinks and I am 95% better the rest of 5% comes back again and again because it become hard for me sometimes to keep away from all those foods sometimes. I am eating bell peppers and long green squash soup with rice morning and evening and I also drink yogurt drink 5 to 6 times a day along with 4 to 5 glasses of water and somehow its been helping me great deal.
I tried going to doctors, trying to seek their help but they don't understand at all whats going on with the body.
I am trying to post this message to a couple of video hoping that it may help some good people who are suffering like I suffered.
Going through this same thing.

@@sozinho_9894 I am feeling good. Please keep away from all the immune boosting vitamins, coffees and teas. I take one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in half cup of water every morning. I am also eating lots of dill pickles along with yogurt drinks. Its been helping me with digestion and I can eat everything else now.
According to my research and by looking at my self. There is a inflammation somewhere in the body and immune system needs to calm down in order to heal this kind of inflammation. Try what I told you above. It has made my life easier. Thanks God
This is so interesting to me. Partly because I had COVID twice. I still had long COVID from the 1st time when I got it again. But also because I've had something that feels very much like this for almost 30 years. I just found out yesterday that I carry the antibodies for Lyme disease, which I have suspected for many years. I think that COVID is one of a handful of infections that can cause ongoing illness even after the infection is gone. I am very eager to understand this better.
Do you get tingling in feet from lymes?
Some people do. I don't remember them tingling, but I do have some loss of feeling in my fingers and toes. If you think you have any chance of having Lyme disease I highly recommend getting tested immediately. If it's caught early it can still be treated with antibiotics pretty well. But the longer you go untreated the harder it is to cure.
Actually, anything that is causing tingling in your feet should be checked out. A lot of things that cause that could be serious if left untreated. But I think most things that would cause that can be treated pretty well if caught soon.

@Chloe Great Nope, doesn't work :(
It would seem to me that if the Vagus nervous system is exposed thru inflamation, there could be a big relief is the nervous system is regulated, i started having symptoms of fatigue where i could not excersice as i’ve always been active. I tried doing some upper body work and arm strength in my room to see what my body could handle, At first i felt as i was going to faint and began sweating nervously and feeling like my heart would not be able to continue. But since i’ve always been stuburn about giving up, i decided to play a positive health affirmation along excercising. Surprisingly i started lifting without that feeling of fatigue, nervousness and sweat, My thought is that our nervous system has been somehow hijacked and takes a strong mind to cross that barrier of Fear. I would advice always listen to your body, if you feel like you really can’t then build your strenght slowly until it feels better. Also recommend, Doing breath work, and meditation. It can’t hurt. I wish everyone the best.

Possibly, especially if there were long covid symptoms before - could also be a reinfection
@@vacafuega I have never had long COVID before. That's what's confused me. Got COVID Dec 2020, never had a teeny tiny bout of anything as long COVID. For a good year! And now I just can't breathe properly.

I have dysautonomia, specifically postural orthostatic tachicardia syndrome (POTS). It appears that a big part of long covid might be just that, mostly if you have dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath. Cardiologists and neurologists are some of the doctors that might help you the most. I feel very sad for everyone developing this tough condition 🥺. You can see "York cardiology" here on UA-cam as well as videos from "dysautonomia international".
Do you mind me asking if this developed post vaccination as there are other cardiovascular issues such as myocarditis and pericarditis which are acknowledged side effects from the vaccine.
@@1987dfa I had my mysterios heart attack prior to any vaccination and after being sick 2019. Cardiologist are all telling people to get vaccinated. I have had 4 shots I am back to exercising. My oxygen level is 100 percent. I checked my oxygen, blood pressure after every single vaccination. It was completely normal. Covid 19 is a really bad illness and will cause far more heart problems than a rare side effect from a shot.
@@wednesdayschild3627 good news in your case. I would be very interested in the views of cardiologists (not in their professional capacity) especially in respect to vaccinating children. I guess my question for you would be are you going to be boosted every 8 weeks in order to stay protected? This is what it takes - unless you were one who has natural immunity of course. Debate aside, I am glad things are ok for you - several family members my end were unlucky to be rare cases then!
How are you doing today?
I sometimes experience heart palpitation😭

There is still very limited information on the scope and cause, unfortunately. I think the latest big study was a population study of the Veteran's Administration (USA). The study skewed towards older men since that's the population of the military veterans. It's good they did the study, though, very useful. Another limitation is that a questionnaire was used asking people if they had and I would assume pick from a list of symptoms. A study is better when instead of asking patients they look at medical records of what doctors found.
Unfortunately, many doctors today are to reluctant to even do tests with their patients so they don't find anything and your medical record will be empty.

The primary cause of long Covid is Covid. My decision making calculus determination to take the shots & use quality masks, led me to decide any possible adverse reactions to Pfizer were miniscule, comparatively speaking. Covid is not over and we will not be spared these issues with complacency.

I got COVID-19 back in January. Severe respiratory failure , ARDS, hypoxemia . Sent home on oxygen, at rest i have good saturation, when i stand up my saturation drops to 80’s. Since January I developed severe muscle weakness, fatigue. I lost my appetite, thirst , sleep and body temp regulation and i suspect irreversible hypothalamus damage. My diastolic blood pressure is running high and my systolic low . It’s been a nightmare. Unable to sleep even trying sleeping pills , forcing fluids and food . On top of that , covid damage my peripheral nervous system.
When did you get covid? 022? Hope you recover soon.
Same here around the end of jan 22 and i have all those issues to the point i need my son to help me stand and get off the toilet seat. I seriously hope to get well and hope you do as well.

I have long COVID symptom.
I got COVID in April 2021 and was admitted to ventilator hospital. After 15 days, I was discharged with ventilator. Then I was weaned off from it and was requiring oxygen.
Now my oxygen level is 93% remaining at rest dropping to 74% on walking. I have to depend on a portable O2 concentrator. I am just 15 years and this is my condition.
LONG COVID CAN AFFECT ANYONE AT ANY AGE AND CAN BE WELL SEVERE ENOUGH TO BE DEPENDENT ON O2.
Try x2 Clear Lungs capsules at a time every 4-6 hrs and see how well that works for you, thank me later!
Like any crutch you have to really struggle to free yourself. Had COV Alpha with resting O2 83% and resting heartbeat 110. Got out every day and walked the hills. After 5 weeks I ran 14 miles through the hills, and COV tapped out. Now resting O2 97?% and resting heartbeat chill 54. Push! Your body and mind are miracles. No crutches needed. Good luck.

I'm really sorry to hear you're having such a rough go right now. Please make sure to speak with your medical team, you know, the people trained and educated in treating illnesses and diseases, before trying anything that random people on the Internet tell you will "cure you". I was desperate for relief as well, still am, but safety should ALWAYS be your priority. Make sure that you aren't allergic to things recommended to you, make sure you have clearance to start moving more and monitor your body etc. Rest when you need to and don't get into the mindset of pushing yourself constantly. Yes, going a little further each time is sometimes good, but your body has limits and they're not as easy to recover from as before (trust me, I've sent myself back into the hospital several times from this "crutch" mindset, you don't want to go through that) and it will push your recovery further back. Take your time on this. And know that sometimes, no matter how hard we try, how many things we try, how much we pray it want it, we may just be stuck living life differently than we planned and that's not a failing of ours it's just how things go sometimes. I'm now disabled and in the process of going for benefits, I can't even walk from my seat to the next room without fainting and have a whole bunch of other symptoms that are constant and debilitating. My therapist is helping me cope while I come to terms with this new reality.

Stop. Just stop for the love of god. Covid affects every part of the body in some people. It is now being confirmed.
Good question, I find it harder to lose fat since ive had covid and its not going away after 3 months
Gez Medinger (ua-cam.com/users/RUNDMC1) has more data. One thing that strikes me about long covid victims is the relative prevalence of marathoners and runners in the Long Covid community. Gez was running half marathons in training before he was infected, was infected in the first wave two years ago, and is still struggling with ME/CFS.
In general, it appears better health going in is a risk factor for long term aftereffects. There is no viable theory why this should be so, but it is a striking indicator.
@@flagmichael I think it may be that some athletes or people with stronger immune systems end up with their immune system working against them - maybe left over traces of Covid remain in areas of the body hard to purge - like when Covid crosses the blood brain barrier - and the immune system starts attacking the body or creating huge inflammation to get rid of the left over traces - one concept for treatment is to knock the immune system off line. Kind of like using antihistamines or steroids to do so for allergies.
. I know two people in their 70 that were completely fit with only high blood pressure. One is dead the other is in bad shape. I know one 70 year old that was overweight with asthma and she is dying. All these people refused shots and masks.

Same for me,since sep 2020, Continuous dizziness, unable to return work...Doctor's not helping me to recover from symptoms instead making fun of my situation...
Sadly, your story is way too common. I'm glad the vaccines helped you; slightly more LC sufferers have reported worsened symptoms. It also seems the benefits (and worsenings) may be short lived, and nobody knows why any of this is so.
You are 110% right that there is very little help for Long COVID sufferers. I understand there are a lot of medical mysteries and few solid facts beyond people's lives have been turned upside down.
@@spencer5028 Better yet, don't try "1vermectin." It has shown promising short term effects but becomes useless within days. See ua-cam.com/video/gfeUPbbEnGc/v-deo.html
Since there are at least three identified pathways in Long COVID - viral reservoirs, "dysautonomia" (disorders of the autonomic nervous system), and metabolic problems - there is no logical reason it would be a path to recovery. The problem is that nearly every treatment suffers from the same limitations.
I’m only 28 and It’s been a mess. I’m vaccinated but since I had Covid my right lung is constantly agitated and I get sick more frequently after words as well. The worst part is everytime I try to get looked at they tell me my health is fine. Yet I still have constant irritation in my lung and being sick almost on a monthly basis isn’t helping. It’s been since 2021.
May I suggest looking up the vaccine that you had and seeing the side effects .
Perhaps instead of living in complete fear of COVID-19, it would be better to encourage healthier lifestyles and work to improve the slow pandemic of chronic lifestyle diseases exacerbated by COVID-19?
Paradoxically, a lot of Long COVID sufferers were athletes before being infected. As I learned more I "met" more marathoners than in any other community I had ever seen. Remarkably few were what we would consider "couch potatoes" and few were obese. Gez Medinger, the creator of the RUN-DMC / Gez Medinger YT channel (DMC is for his Delorean Motor Car) at ua-cam.com/users/RUNDMC1 was doing half marathons before he was infected and has been trying to relieve the crushing fatigue for two years. He has learned a lot about what helps and what makes it worse... overdoing it is the #1 "make it worse" thing.
Do not live in fear, live in knowledge. It is our own choice, you know - nobody forces fear on us. Learn and move forward.
@@flagmichael Most persons who experience severe symptoms of COVID-19 do not have comorbid conditions such as obesity or cardiopulmonary disease?
Do not live in fear, live in knowledge. It is our own choice, you know - nobody forces fear on us.
Preventing infection is the best way to avoid longcovid. Wear a mask when you can. Fear isn't necessary, just act rationally.
Vagus nerve damage
That is believed to be a factor in it. It is called "dysautonomia" - the vagus nerve is the backbone of the autonomic nervous system. There are also other concerns, including microclotting and viral reservoirs.
My career path is that of a welder NOT a doctor, I was gonna write of my LC sob story but ill just put the understanding of stuff that just got me out of 2 years of misery.
Once you understand the problem its then easy to fix, the problem is you don't know who/what to ask for therefore, we ask the wrong questions in the wrong places.
Going to a doctor, asking for help is like asking a panel beater to overall your car engine since he works on cars all day.
Doctors treat symptoms of sickness. Not sickness.
You have to get an understanding of this first.
The human bodies priority is its PH level NOT the oxygen content, it does this mainly by moving co2 ( breath)via the lungs which affects the PH in the blood stream aiming for a very narrow window of 7.3 + - . The kidneys also do this function but it takes them about 3 - 5 days to have an effect . They do this by removing acid/alkali from the blood stream( urine).there's other buffers as well but we'll leave them out for now.
ANY sickness, hypoxia, altitude sickness, hyperbaric treatment and ANY endurance type training will generate ROS stress through the Krebs cycle.
Basically if the Krebs cycle happens under hypoxic conditions then it spews out different acids compared to an oxygenated cycle. ( The difference between aerobic vs anabolic exercise)
One of your bodies best defenses is to make glutathione to counter the ROS. IF, however it gets depleted via the immune response then it has NAD+ which it can use as well to block the ROS, ( when we are young and healthy).
Its at this point that, ALL chronic illness starts, cause the cells start going mutant( inflammation, cancer etc.) . So in Covid which starts out as a respiratory infection, the ROS increases unchecked, inflaming the lungs and affecting the gas exchange meaning the co2 starts building up in the body. This increases the PH and its left to the liver which, makes bicarbonate to become the next balancer, the bicarbonate is filtered out by the kidneys except, they take days to fulfil that role! This is probably the time that the NAD+ starts getting depleted . The kidneys end up with an enormous ,unbeatable task to get the PH back to normal. The respiratory muscles will be working very hard at this point releasing lactic acid ( ROS) and potassium into the blood . The potassium is filtered out by the kidneys but, as the GFR is reduced(AKI) then the excess potassium will affect the heart muscles by letting sodium into cells thereby changing the heart rhythm ( palpitations ,athrirryimas, etc.)
All this is going to lead to random and ever changing symptoms .
Eventually you will die.
BUT!
The answer lies in front of you. Restore your glutathione reserves and top up your NAD+ . Your body will take care of the rest and repair itself in its own time.
For this you NEED TO GET AN IV ! DO NOT WASTE your money and time on oral capsules , its destroyed in your stomach in seconds by the acid.
Reduce ANYTHING that adds to the burden of ROS in your body IE, alcohol, smoking, stress, some medications, sugar and any exercise you break out in a sweat( anabolic)
Lastly, if you want to turbo charge your recovery ,do a 3 day water only fast prior to doing the IV ( the water fast is brutal and you might feel terrible during it but your body will thank you afterwards!!)
I can say I'm basically recovered and got my old life back these days, I hope you do to.
Please please PLEASE include volume leveling in your videos. I love the stories that the narrating journalist does, but often I have to stop watching because I can’t hear half the video due to the expert video being too quiet but even if I don’t turn volume up I’m still getting deafened by the reporting journalist’s voice.

It is viral persistence. I know it coz i am long hauler and was bed ridden until month 5 when I was treated with favipiravir antiviral.
Within 1st day my shortness of breath was gone.

It would be great if Antiviral trail is done on long haulers.
People with ME/CFS that's been triggered by viral infections also have success being treated with long term antivirals (if you're reading this and have been diagnosed with long-covid or ME/CFS, look up Dr Chia), I wish it were the norm to treat us this way already and we could've avoided so much suffering. People with long-covid and ME/CFS are often ignored because all their tests come back "normal"... It's maddening.

I had COVID, hated the idea of "dying" because the media blew it out of proportion , countries too, and wasn't sick for in a very long time, tried to do home cardio to feel more alive ... Beginning of school on Monday after isolation, I choked on water the night before but since it was late I didn't try coughing too much, and now after getting tired I can feel my heart just isn't the same, although I felt good before Monday, although it's not like I was exercising everyday. Not sure whether it's the possible heartburn, water in lungs or COVID aftereffects, but 19 yo now and feel like my body is just ready to throw away, also I am asthmatic, so not great. But now really my heart is just not there anymore, not vaccinated, but I don't think COVID is the reason, as I said I felt in perfect shape after isolation and felt mildly sick for 3 days tops, probably the stress it caused did the more damage than it could've done...
Yes you are doing the right thing focusing on your overall health - funny how the mainstream media and hand-picked government medical experts NEVER stress that the most important factor in all this is losing weight and improving the overall health. Funny how they also vilified all early-onset treatments very early on in the pandemic. Wonder why.
I have long Covid(had Covid in early March 2020) and I was like you in the sense that it didn't set in right away. I went a few weeks without any symptoms at all between getting better from the virus and then getting long Covid symptoms. It's important to have documentation of your progress or lack of in a medical setting. I've been struggling with this for 2 years now and still haven't been approved for disability even though I can't function. "Lack of evidence" is the reason why. I truly hope yours isn't this bad and don't get this bad ever but it's best to be proactive about it. Oh and ignore what they other person said about losing weight and being fit helps with diminishing the possibilities, it's not true it's actually the opposite. Healthier, fit individuals reported higher incidents of post Covid with more severe symptoms especially athletes. They've just got misinformation that fits their mindset.
@@esmeraldaoneal4044 I had not heard about the delay in Long COVID symptoms, but it makes sense. The symptoms are not necessarily caused by the same mechanisms the disease itself had.
BTW, I wish you the best with the disability path. It is a devil. I have an extended family member who is truly disabled (serious memory problems, balance problems, episodic confusion). He once went to Petsmart and returned with a $200 bird; he does not remember going and does not like birds. In June it will be six weeks since the head injury that caused this, but he is repeatedly turned down. Everybody advises "don't give up, keep applying until it is approved."
I also agree that the LC community has an unusually high proportion of athletes, particularly marathoners.
If you have not checked out Gez Medinger's YT channel ua-cam.com/users/RUNDMC1 I highly recommend it. I am not a sufferer but I understand it is a huge problem nobody wants to wrestle with. Gez (pronounced "Jez") has a broad range of videos about various aspects of Long COVID, which he has dealt with for almost two years now. I am especially impressed by "The Great Experiment: Can Activity Play a Role in Long Covid Recovery?" that shows it is possible (just not simple) for carefully managed recreation to actually improve symptoms.

All long covid symptoms are cardio-related, caused by the spike protein. The spike protein causes micro-clotting in the smallest capillaries. These micro blood clots can be determined by a D-dimer test. The spike protein microclots can also come from the vaccines which create the spike protein.
Interesting. So is there long-vaccine too? What you’ve described equally applies to the vaccine as well.
Agree. These vaccines scientifically speaking are not what we have traditionally called vaccines. The definition was changed just before these experimental injections came out

Hahaha wow you right wing American mental cases never fail to amaze. I hope its someone being ironic, because vaccine aids is so stupid its funny, almost south park esque, but knowing the detached loons they probably believe even something this whacky !
@@douglesw Yep he can, he just needs to relay the response from the entire globes scientific community, which is there is no such thing as V-AIDS lol!
Since when did Scarlett Johansson start narrating for WSJ? Nice
She started just this last summer. She said it was a good fill in while having her child.
[6:01] can't be good for our quality of life or our GDP/economy
I'm sure that if this many people are diagnosed with long covid, that pretty much everyone of us has some covid virus lingering on our systems.
It's scary what this has done to humans:- it's not an ordinary virus, we don't get immunity, it keeps damaging the body for weeks, months or years to come.
@@wordjam412 My thoughts exactly. Our immune systems are being altered by the virus.
Strange how long covid is happening more often after people got vaccinated
@Mr. WhØ most people weren't experiencing long covid at the beginning of the pandemic, it was unheard of back then,.now that people got vaccinated, long covid is more common
@@alywhite3265 The highest proportion of long covid cases (per infection) was at the start of the pandemic, it just wasn't reported as much. I got long covid before vaccines were available as with everyone I know who has long covid. However the vaccines do not 100% prevent you getting sick or getting long covid, they just reduce the odds. If you have a vaccinated population that's half as likely to develop long covid but 10x as many infections due to restrictions lifting you get.... 5x the long covid cases... see? Very simple. However if you were to get covid before vaccination you are 2x as likely (at least) to get long covid so there were a greater percentage of long covid cases per infection at the start. Again pretty simple and obvious really
@@funbarsolaris2822LIAR! no it wasn't, long covid happened more often after people got vaccinated. I've been watching this pandemic closely... They weren't reporting long covid back then because it wasn't happening much....most people who had covid back then, got over it back then.. natural immune response is 10 times better than any manmade vaccine, PERIOD... Stop trying to convince me that getting vax is better than natural immunity because I'm not believing it the least
Well no, it’s becasue more people started getting it faster becasue of omicron.
@@alywhite3265 You hysterical maniacs always write things like LIAR !. Unhinged, you are only trying to convince your self of your own delusional paranoia. It doesn't matter if you feel you have "followed" the pandemic closely. That isn't how medical data is acquired and verified. People had a far higher rate of getting long covid before vaccine rollout it is a fact and has been seen to be a trend across countries and across multiple studies. You just say most people "got over it" but all the worlds medical studies on the matter say otherwise. Ands they know better than a mental case on the UA-cam comments sections dont they? Don't kid yourself
Its f-iv-e gee my peeps
I can't stand it. I have been FCC Radiotelephone licensed since 1969, worked in radio-electronics fields for 48 years, have had an 8 hour course on RF safety, swapped live waveguides on 5W 6GHz microwave radios to prevent outages during the swap....
Forget that hoax. There is only one known hazard from RF radiation: internal heating. There have been more than enough studies of people who have claimed to be sensitive to wireless telephones and wifi to know that none of them - not a one - was able to report reliably whether the signal source was on or off.
My last 34 years before retirement were in IT field support for a Fortune 100 electric utility. Shortly after I hired on the reports appeared of doubled incidence of gliomas and astrocytomas (both nasty brain cancers) among electrical workers. Gee, thanks. It gave rise to lots of legislation in the EU while I worked in 500KV substations, where brushing a fence was a significant zap. In the early 2000s a much larger study showed the original was a statistical cluster, but at least there was a rational reason to suspect it was true. With 5G there is nothing but wacko theories that don't even begin to fit the physics of radio waves. It is a contrived hoax rather than an innocent misunderstanding.
Take it from me... if there were anything to it I would be haosidjaposjdlkssndlkajdoslap but I feel fine Az QEW8PFJ;CSM'PESOZYOFPOIWEZSCXZKM. Heck, I would even make a joke of it.
I also can't stand the whole "covid-talk", but I want to raise a bit of awareness about long-covid because it is seen as a joke.
I had noticeable symptoms in March 2020 but "since that day" my body and mind has not recovered. Coincidence? (It's beyond me how one can say something's not real just because they haven't experienced it.) If you walk into the long-covid clinic you will see for yourself how much people are struggling since they were hit.
The symptoms are real, BRAIN FOG/FATIGUE/GASTRO ect. is not a light matter 😉 I'm not complaining, I'm good but I feel bad for those who have been hit much worse than me and are simply overlooked.

How can we cure long tyranny though ?
I’m afraid that’s here to stay. Most people don’t think their country has become tyrannical. Until they do, and resist, it will increase.
