Lol my doctor keeps giving me benzos for my long covid i refuse to take them i stopped going tothe doctor its a waste of money ive been going for 7 months ive lost so much weight it looks like im dying and my doctor still doesnt believe me
I agree, most PCPs belong to large groups run by MBA’s. They tow the corporate line to protect their pay checks. Everything is in accordance with the CDC, NIH and the like. I call this drive by medicine.
Thanks for the info, there's hope for us, long-haulers, got COVID back in November 13 with mild symptoms but a week later I felt really weird like I was gonna pass out and since that day I been feeling dizzy, lightheaded, anxiety and weird palpitations every day, day and night, the first two weeks were the worst I thought I was going to die because of fast palpitations and intense head aches at the same time, I went to the ER and everything came back normal, wasn't able to work for one month I though I was goin to loose my job because of my dizziness and headaches, so the fifth week I decided to go back to work and felt really bad still but you know, bills cant wait. Now my dizziness, headaches and palpitations are not as bad. every day is different, but even when I'm watching a movie I get anxiety and start getting palpitations so I have to get up and do something else to distract my brain, hopefully I get better with time, I read that it could go away between 2 to 6 months, sometimes I feel really sad because i start thinking that could be my new life dealing with all this awful symptoms :( Only time will tell.
Sounds like you may have POTS which can be caused by many things but after having had a virus. You need to see a cardiologist or neurologist for a tilt table test for diagnosis.
I am dealing with all the same issues and I have POTS as well. I just got over covid 3 weeks ago and it affected my spleen, heart, red blood cells, I have an over active thyroid, and my muscles ache and cramp constantly. I feel dizzy and emotional because its scary bit knowing when it will end
I actually got “ long covid “ like syndrome following vaccination. Severe injury as well that left me hospitalized. And, I’m a viral immunologist, so it was tough for me to believe.
Same, from 1st dose of Pfizer. It's been 9 months of extremely debilitating symptoms. Cytokine test had many that were elevated like a COVID infection but I have never had COVID.
@Fionn MacCuill I've had double vax and booster..had omicron 10 weeks ago, wrecked since,fatigue,pains.. reckon the 2nd booster would get rid of my symptoms?
@Fionn MacCuill thank u.. i was pretty confident having had 2 Pfizer and then the booster. When i got omicron it wasn't severe at all,cold-like apart from headache,but since.. :/ docs aren't interested,or at least mine wasn't,I get that it's new to them as well. It's like a sleeping lion,tiptoe around trying not to wake it, even half hour garden or walk and it's a few days written off
Reading these comments have helped me immensely. I have come a long way overcoming the covid virus but still struggle with some fatigue, sense of taste is completely off, dizziness is almost gone as is the heart palpitations. It's been going on 3 months now. Did not vaccinate, have not been to the Dr yet. Began B12, zinc, and VitD about 8 months before I was exposed to covid. I'm getting better everyday and giving my body time to heal itself. Looks like it may take a while. Nothing, with the exception of the little Halo oranges tastes good to me. It bothers me to try and eat a meal and not have any desire for it. I do plan on a Dr visit soon. God bless to those struggling. I believe you will get better, you know your body. Rest, eat well, see your Dr and stay positive.
I had covid in February 2019….I still have, anxiety, I feel heart palpitations, tired and chest pain…..I am better but it is taking time…your body will heal it self….
My story, 35 years old. I had dizziness for 2-3 months. Weakness and tingling in the left leg and vision problems. Extreme insomnia that still lasts as well as episodes of moderate anxiety. I did an MRI/MRA. Everything is ok about the brain. There is hope for all of us.
I hope u feel better I have the tingling too the feet went away but my arm still feels like I need to stretch it out . It feels weird and gives me anxiety and usually I’m a very hyper person . Every day now I’m just like blah and I hate it . I also can barely sleep 😣. I hope u feel better
I strongly believe that people with enhanced nervous systems are more prone to long Covid . Very fit and healthy people, sports people and highly physically skilled people . Like me and others I know and see . It’s common is t it that it affects the very healthy.
@@pablo9364 same... I'm 33, up to 2021 I was able to jog for about 2 or 3 hours and never felt tired, now my muscles hurt all the time, I have a hard time walking and standing up and of course, brain fog.
since i have long covid i felt discourage in my life..doctors here in philippines dont have any answer..they are clueless.even my husband think im inventing stories..im crazy..its hurt .i develop anxiety because of this.i cried everynight because of frustration..i hope and wish my normal life will comeback.
I've been dealing with this for 2 years, I got Covid back in March 2020. I'm still in the cardiologist part of it but getting referred to a neurologist soon. I have had amazing healthcare professionals throughout all of this though, from the nurses to the techs to doctors, everyone has been very compassionate and caring. So far I'm on 8 medications and a supplement but my quality of life is still pretty crappy, not anyone's fault it's just how it goes sometimes. It's super frustrating to keep struggling with this and having symptoms for so long but therapy has been getting me cope. Groups aren't my thing but it's great they help others. Just know that if a support group is not your jam either, individual counseling or therapy are still options. Your mental health has a great impact on your physical health and vice versa
@@christiandeluxer2926 brain fog, nerve pain, loss of smell and taste randomly, things smelling and tasting differently than they should, chronic fatigue, malabsorption of nutrients, muscle loss, MCAS, cold induced urticaria, pustular orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and seizures that we've yet to pinpoint on type.
For those of us with autoimmune & autonomic nervous system reactions, we need to see the right specialist....a Rheumatologist. A GP is way out of their league with blood disorders, we need an entirely different approach to cope with a constantly triggered immune system. My doctors have never dealt with the type of anaphylactic episodes I have so the help (if it works) is very temporary.
I have Graves’ disease and have yet to find a doctor that’s willing to treat me they say I just need an endocrinologist but the endocrinologist does treats the thyroid and if that’s under control but I’m still have an auto immune disorder problems where do I go so I tried NRA they don’t work or rheumatologist whatever you wanna call him there are no special doctors for this I’ve tried it good luck
Ivermectin has been successfully used in some cases. Unfortunately Ivermectin may have a target on its back among US health officials and highly regarded clinical practice organizations. It just might not be expensive enough. As a retired public health official this saddens and frightens me.
I found a Dr. on Survivor Corps. I am waiting for a call-back to schedule an appt for help. I got covid 3/2020, almost died. Took the 2 shots 3/2021 felt better. Brain fog was debilitating. Worked up to 3 grams of Carlson's (fish oil) Omega 3 and after about 3 - 4 months, thinking is much more clear. Still have no energy. Cannot make plans because I never how badly I am going to feel. Life is a struggle. I was & am in good shape, eat mostly organic. No junk food. Stopped all alcohol 7/2020. I still feel awful. Today I heard that researchers are looking at antihistamines to help long haulers. I will try them tomorrow! Best wishes to all that are suffering.
@@WasabiWallaby I have been taking Benadryl for 4 nights so far, and my life has improved dramatically! I chose Benadryl because they say it crosses the blood brain barrier. in hopes of clearing out covid that probably is in my brain. I will suggest antihistamines to anyone suffering long covid!
@@WasabiWallaby I watched your cemetery video. I will sub to your channel too, Thx. I love cemeteries. I was in Australia in 1990. Love it there! Yes, keep in touch, I do other stuff for covid too, but the Benadryl has made the biggest impact.
Very good promotion for the vaccines. I'm not convinced though. Dear Dr you are just making one way discussion. Where are the scientists with different opinion. We will decide if you are right or not.
I think it’s the wrong approach to treat each symptom separately. It’s all the same underlying process - inflammation, plus stuck in “fight or flight”. If you can get yourself back in to “rest and digest” your body will heal. You don’t even need medication for this. No body systems work properly in constant fight or flight. And the body doesn’t know that the medical profession separates it into different systems. It works as a whole.

How do you get yourself back into rest and digest??? I have been told that I am continually in "Fight or flight" but was never given a way to combat it....
@@Andthereyouhaveit Poor you. It’s awful, isn’t it? I did several things. I changed my diet so it was more anti-inflammatory (it doesn’t have to be perfect). I sat in the garden every morning, to get some morning light and the benefits of nature. In the beginning I had 2 naps per day, and then just one, so I didn’t push myself too far. I just slowly nudged myself forward. I listened to a yoga nidra (check it out on UA-cam) every day. I did breathing exercises whenever I felt overwhelmed (4,7,8 breathing). I had a bath (not too hot) every night before I went to bed. Above all, I was very kind to myself. I spoke to myself as if I was a small child who needed comforting. I told myself “You can do this” every day. I celebrated even tiny amounts of progress. I didn’t beat myself up if I went wrong somewhere. When I felt a bit better, I added in probiotics. I did my best to eliminate things that would put me into fight of flight. I deleted social media (especially the long covid support groups - they were too negative and people kept reporting scary new studies), I didn’t watch the news (I had to concentrate on myself for a bit). I tried not to speak harshly to myself. Whenever I felt fear about the future, I tried to visualise a lovely future (this was difficult at first but soon my brain went with it). When I stated to exercise, I just walked for 5 mins every second day. Then after a week I increased to 10 mins every second day, and so on. My symptoms would get worse again briefly with every increase, but then settle down again. When I went back to work I had a very slow phased return. I am now fully recovered. I haven’t gone back to my old crap diet, and I still enjoy yoga nidra. You can do this. X
@@Andthereyouhaveit My story too. Have you had any success in finding your way to the right help for the stuck in flight or fight mode- please let us know 🙂
Same :/ I lost two jobs during 2021 as I was unable to concentrate, learn new things and was borderline depressed all the time. Have you experienced muscle soreness? Kind of as if you did tons of exercise, I'm having that but at the same time losing muscle mass 🤷♀️ this is horrible.
@@michaelpittman4821 yes, overtime’s it’s just about managing symptoms. Keeping stress levels low are important because when I get stressed my symptoms flare up.
@@etorresrodz I know, it really sucks I was basically bed ridden for a month & had depression too really bad at one point. My recommendation is physical therapy. Do physical therapy 3 times a week. Do the appointments early so it gets u out of bed and your muscles moving. It was painful for me at first. My joint pain made me feel like I couldn’t walk but overtime physical therapy helped and got me moving again. And then for the brain fog I used men’s one a day & natures way B12 1000mcg that helped. I still have bad brain fog but I noticed if I keep stress levels down it helps. People will say it’s all in your head but it’s definitely not, covid effects you physically & mentally so take it day by day and any improvement is great. And you will have bad days and good days but your not alone a lot of us are going thru this. Stay positive, try and manage symptoms. Hope u Feel better
Check youtube video dr Shankara Chetty discusses his Covid management approach. From. 32 mins. And youtube. Ivermectin Evidence with Dr Tess Lawrie from 28mins to discuss with your Dr.
I had that for like 5 months until it started getting better then i caught covid again and got long covid again now, this is what helped me heal NAC, Spermadine(mushrooms (shiitake are best) + mature cheddar cheese) Herbs like parsley, thyme, rosemary, etc.., Turmeric, Garlic,) Intermittent fasting dont eat until 12pm - 6pm then fast 18 hours. Dont exercise as that makes the symptoms worse, wait a few months until you exercise, Vitamin d + resveratrol. There is a smoothie by Dr rhonda patrick on youtube look it up, that did wonders for me. Steak + chimichurri really helped also, make sure you make your own chimichurri with oregano + parsley, garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar. Best of luck!
Yep, here in New Zealand the doctors (Government funded) and government are in total denial about the community transmission that happened at the time of the first lockdown here. Post viral long haulers are completely dismissed.
That happened in the US if you have autoimmune disorder once my thyroid levels were normal even though I had Graves’ disease and it was misdiagnosed for 10 years it reeks havoc on my body. Every time I had a problem they couldn’t explain it so your levels are fine when I went other doctors all the records are tied in in the US so they would say will thyroid levels define your endocrinologist post on here and so that means you shouldn’t have a problem. People with autoimmune disorder know exactly what he was long haulers are going through we’ve been going through this there’s no answer either
Same in Sweden! Majority of LC patients are from the first wave 2020 jan - may. Government shoved 25.000 severly ill people under the rug...but hey... Sweden was brave not to do anything against a unknown virus. Like going to a boxing fight and the oponent could be Mike Tyson.
I have post covid symtoms still. I had covid in august 2021. I did find chewing Wrigley's spearment gum helps make the covid cough go away. Good protein helps with the shaking.The more you build up the protein in your body the better. Also I use collagen peptides, tart cherry, and ginger for inflammation and pain. I lost most of my hair and the peptides do help it grow back. Also saw palmetto helps with hair growth. Garlic is also a very good anti-inflammatory. I say these things because a lot of people like myself cannot take or react to pharmaceutical medications. I do better on herbs and natural food. It takes longer but worth it, because there's no reactions or side affects. It's worked for me, I hope these things work for other people as well.
I've no clue if this could be helpful to you or not. 18 yrs ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury. I lost a great deal of cognitive & memory ability. For 2 yrs, I wasn't "myself" (words are inadequate), though I appeared to pretty much function just fine. However my family began to notice I'd changed since prior to the accident. Then at that 2 yr mark it was as if a switch had been flipped & I even said aloud in the moment "I'm back!". I had some pretty severe brain fog with covid. It was eerily similar to right after my accident, too similar.....and in some ways worse. I'm at the end of week 4 and it was just a few days ago most of the fog lifted, though I still have cognitive & memory issues. My brain fog was literally an altered state of mind, not just clouded thinking sort of thing. I was what I call "here but not here". Makes me wonder what this virus was doing inside my brain. Meanwhile, shortness of breath continues, chest pain, cognitive/memory issues, and the virus damaged my heart.......and I have stomach/bowel issues. Not to mention that gawd awful fatigue that is as if someone drugged you. My dr tells me I'll be out of work for likely at least 2 more months, probably longer depending on what the cardiologist needs to do. However, even with the other issues, it's the brain fog that disturbs me the most........because I keep wondering what the virus was doing to brain cells/connections to have caused the same state of mind as a traumatic brain injury.
I experience brain fog the exact same way, almost like I’m in a dream and just watching myself exist. I think the vitamin d and k2 with zinc has been helping me a lot. My main problem is my chest, i feel like i have bad chest congestion and its so difficult to clear it to a point where im struggling to breathe
@@roberttruth2717 shortness of breath has improved but not gone away. Covid left me with COPD as well as severe congestive heart failure & cardiomyopathy. Cardio tinkering with heart meds did improve it quite a bit. They're still adjusting them too.
@@naturespleasantries probably 80 percent gone but I still have a lot of cognitive & memory issues. When questioned about anything that took place during the heavy brain fog.....I have very little memory of it, snippets instead of memories. I'm 18 months out from when I got sick. My heavy brain fog hung on for a lot longer than most people's seem to.
Thanks so much for this video. I am a long-hauler 77 years old, my sister, 76, and I went into the hospital the same day. She died six weeks later and I went into a coma for 90 days (3 and 1/2 months total in the hospital). I am getting stronger each day but still have most of the symptoms long-haulers have.
Joseph I'm glad you came back as my cousin didn't at 45 years old.Sorry about your sister as I'm sure she is safe in Gods memory awaiting a resurrection.2 herbs that may help to repair immune system and detox are soursop and guinea hen leaves on Amazon or eBay.Be well.
Covid killed my gut and I have had hives daily for over 8 months now. I’m working hard at gaining back my health but it hasn’t been easy. Truly a marathon. 😢
The vaccination did NOT improve my long Covid. I am now in month 8 of PASC and have tried nearly all medications recommended to help. Still waiting for a breakthrough....
My neighbors son got ccivid in it's infancy but it was manageable so he stayed home and quarantined. But here we are presently and he's lost almost all use of his legs. The fatigue and muscle weakness is so severe he can only walk from one room to the next.
May God bless him and regardless of what your personal beliefs are ask him to chant - Om Namah Shivai.....mantra works magic.You dont have to believe. 🙏♥️🧸
I hope he is getting medical treatment for the loss of mobility. That is often progressive, as muscle tone is progressively lost. This is the sort of situation that physical therapy is crucial for.
I got covid right after Christmas 2021 and was starting to get better but then a week ago I developed heart issues and stomach problems with high blood pressure which before covid never had any issues with any of the symptoms before... Your video gives me some hope
@@mattholley3642 Up and down Matt. Having good days followed by relapses, but for the past month my relapses have only lasted a few hours each time with less intense symptoms. I really do believe we will eventually recover. How are you?
@@clairchetwood9777 Hey Clair, thank you so much for the reply! Great to hear your relapses are getting shorter and shorter. Sounds like you’re on an effective road to recovery. I had covid Dec 21 and have a pretty rough time with it, but overcame the acute infection by day 10. Got back to life and felt 90-95% for about 4 months, thought it was going to be all up from there. I foolishly went back to my doctor for an unrelated issue and was prescribed Doxy (antibiotic) which I believe totally destroyed my gut. 2 weeks later had some intense belching, bloating, GI issues. Started again from my gut and then I started to get all of the symptoms back. Extreme fatigue, brain fog, muscle twitching, headaches, high HR, palpitations and the unshakable GI issues. That’s pretty much where I’m at now. I’m thinking the theory of long haulers already having bad gut health pre-infection makes them susceptible to LC is likely true. Working on eating probiotic/fermented, cutting out bad foods, lots of rest and pacing but I should get onto the vitamins. What did you find helpful?
Fluvoxamine has resolved all of my symptoms. I was a long hauler for 3-4 months after a very mild infection. My doctors wouldn't give me ivm or steroids and I wish I did. I had to do research and thanks to doctors like you I was able to gather enough evidence to get Fluvoxamine. I also know of others who have been suffering for much longer and fluvoxamine relieved their symptoms as well.
My heart started acting up after I had a bout of mild covid. My symptoms were I had major headache, I was dizzy, blurry eyesight, fever, light body aches, No cough. Then about 2 weeks later I felt better and felt I beat Covid. And about 3rd week my heart started skipping beats and felt like fluttering with a pound or heartbeat. It felt like it fluttered and the beat catches up. Now today my heart is not the same. I currently have a new heart beat. I also feel dizzy. The ekg showed PVCs and Nonspecific ST and T Wave abnormalities. Nobody can give me answers as to why or what is happening. My Dr says should go away with time. I was vaccinated and boosted and sadly still I got covid a little over a month after I was boosted. I’m not the same today. I feel awful. Drs still doing test on my heart and really have no answers except they’re explaining that their seeing many new patients with heart irregularities now. And should go away with time. Sadly I’m scared and don’t feel the same with my new heartbeat. My family, sisters, parents, nieces, friends, so many friends, All were also vaccinated and some had covid multiple times. They had mild cold symptoms or flu symptoms but no heart problems. I’m the only one.
You have answers for why this is happening you were vaccinated. None of this stuff is happening to the unvaccinated. Long covid seems to be the new term for vaxxed injuries.
Long COVID is used in England a short and easy to understand term. Professionals might prefer the one used in this video but, for the rest of us, Long COVID is a much easier way to describe the disease. Thank you for your video! 🍀
I have had loss of balance, headaches daily for 6 months, brain fog and fatigue. I had a heart attack and spent four days in the hospital, the problem cleared up after 2 or 3 months. ! My tinnitus is worse and have trouble going to sleep.i do have an autoimmune disease. 😣😥 Boy am I glad to be alive !! Occasionally.....
I had co-vid 2 months ago and a few weeks ago started feeling very fatigued and have had a lot of anxiety which has resulted in some minor depression. Almost a feeling of being lazy, loss of interest and tired all the time. Anybody else feel this way ??
I hope you don't get the full long covid pack I had my infection October 5 man I had over 20 fck symptoms that changed over time now I only still have heavy visual, hearing problems with disoriented brain fog enormous pressure on my head like something is in my head sometimes it feels like my brain can't register things for a tiny second like walking or sum it feels like falling I really don't wish that to anyone I have that everyday it fucks me up. But in 4 days I go to the neuro hospital and will stay there for a few days so they will check me up
Yes! Going through the exact same thing now. Got covid the first week of january and still struggeling. I just want to lay on the couch all day. But, one thing that I have noticed that makes my depression and anxiety worse is reading stories of other long haulers online! They are mostly negative, because in those Facebook groups people just want to get things off their chest. You just read the worst stories that will probably never apply to us. And also: you never read stories of recovery, because those people just move on with their life. So, here is some positive news! 1 Some of my symptoms are gone, like my brain fog (it's amazing to be able to think straight lol). 2 There's good days inbetween the bad days. 3 Mindfulness exercises work. 4 Going off the internet works for my anxiety. 5 We don't know much about the virus yet, so we'll probably be better some day!!
@@veranieuwenhuijse2447 I’ve actually felt a lot better these past 4-5 days so I’m hoping that it’s passed for the most part. Better mood, appetite and energy to do things so I’m hoping it stays like this. And that the same goes for you !
@@cmonmanyouknowthething8200 serious anxiety and depression can feel terrible and horrific and goes away and comes back . It’s something you can not possibly describe to someone
Dr . I got covid 19 in Jan 2020 befor we heard of covid I was sick deathly for 4 weeks lost sense of smell taste chest pain blurring vision psychology problems still it comes and goes !! Its been over a year !!! I feel like something jump into my body and took it over !! HELP!!! PLS !! I FEEL LIKE IM LOSING ME !!
March 2020 here with no diagnosis but couldnt breathe for 4 weeks, inhalers and antibiotics did nothing. Still have racing heart, breathless, ear fullness and sore neck.. nowhere near as bad as I was but yep.. still happening
I was just told that i might have covid long haul. I have had these symptoms for 2 yrs now. All my test come back normal.. I have dizziness, fatigue, brain fog. heart palipatations, depression, anxiety which i've been dealing with my whole life. This is very frustrating. Hopefully my new dr can help. God bless you all.
I had Covid 19 in late Feb.2021, I had my second vaccine in May 2021 and 6 days later had a bout of Myocarditis and have had Long Haulers symptoms ever since. I had fully recovered from Covid until I got my vaccine and now can't get thru the day. I am a stranger to even myself.
Hi i got covid in April 20 after that I have slightly pain in my left side chest which pains when I touch that portion, after that I took vac on Oct and it was my worst decision a week after I have paipitation shortness of breath and left shoulder and had pain which is still going on , i have lot of shortness of breath , I did echo and ECG but it was normal please of anyone going through this give input please reply
I completely disagree that vaccines are helpful for long Covid. I received the Moderna vaccine after a bad Covid infection and have been much worse ever since. I’ve had debilitating migraines and the only thing that has helped is Gabapentin prescribed by a Neurologist. I also can no longer tolerate any alcohol. I’m finding that a lot of rest and reducing stress is very helpful. I still work out a lot, but I allow for lots of naps.
I have read most of the comments & no-one has mentioned being on oxygen since having COVID, I had underlying breathing problems before where it didn't seem serious enough to the Respiratory doctors as they were busy coping with a Pandemic, well I contacted COVID in August last year was admitted to hospital was put on oxygen straight away, spent a month in hospital & 8 months later I still am, I have a lot of symptoms previously stated but my biggest problem is fatigue, It's debilitating. I don't go out much as the cylinders are heavy to carry, I get very depressed & my GP told me 2 weeks ago that I have permanent lung damage & will possibly need oxygen the rest of my life.......... I just hope & pray he's wrong. ...I can sympathize with anyone suffering with the effects from COVID 19.
I had pneumonia after covid then H Pylori, congestion, now anxiety 😟 and depression and tinnitus I had covid on December I’m California would like to be in a support group that had covid and that I can relate. I was placed in a group of depression and anxiety but none of then had covid and it was not helping me. Help!!!
Almost 7 months post covid, still having heart palpitations. The racing heart finally stopped but still have palpitations. Cardiologist said everything looks ok. Also have burning hands and feet, numbing and tingling in my limbs, prickling feeling in my back and the back of my head, headaches, blurry vision, etc. my doctor keeps saying they don’t know. I finally just got a referral for a neurologist after almost 7 months post covid.
My heart palpitations disappeared after the first dose of pfizer. I am still tired all the time. I hope the second dose will help me to recover completely
How long did it take for the palpitations to go away mine is 24/7 for the past 1 and half month ! Your burning hand will get better trust me give it time !
@@ebtisamali359 palpitations started when i had covid in march 2020 and stopped right after the first dose of vaccine two weeks ago. Sometimes i had an impression that i was just a step away from a heart attack and now even in a very hot weather i’m fine.
I have long covid got sick after christmas 2021 at first i was getting better but a month in i got diarea my stomach would hurt and was bloated and i cant hear good im also always cold im 4 months in and my stomach problems have calm down. I noticed when i was outside in the sun i would feel better so ive pushed my self to be outdoor more often and drinking chamomille tea for the bloating helped a lot my stomach doesnt hurt any more.
I've two questions 1) For people who are experiencing long haul symptoms like myself (particularly shortness of breath), what have you done that has had some positive effect??? 2) What is ivermectin and where can you purchase it?
Up the vitamin c to 10,000 a day. Same with vitamin d. I also take 3-4 drops of oregano oil every morning in water (diluted with chlorophyll and spiralina liquid drops) glutathione and nac, potassium, magnesium, i take as well but not as much now that I am feeling better, most of all rest, and healthy eating, exercise 4 times a week. God bless

12y/o Daughter is experiencing long haul 4 months after a mild delta pass. We noticed that 1/2 gram each day of l-ascorbate vitamin c (not ascorbic acid or d-ascorbate) eliminated the dizziness and nausea for most of the day. Read up on Dr Russell Jaffe for more info.
Same here. Dizziness is unreal. Heart palpitations and anxiety chest tremors and fatigue. Crazy. I’m 5 months in. But my symptoms comes in bouts. It’s fucking horrible to live with….🙏 god help us all.
Please doctors find something I need my life back even tho I'm 5 months with long covid after my covid infection and I would say I passed my peak symptoms this still feels like hell. What I have now is: Brain fog, visual and hearing problems like heavy, disoriented strong, pressure on my head, sometimes the floor feels like it's shaking for example I could not go and run right now outside I would fall but in the gym on the treadmill it's okay. I don't have body symptoms no more like pain fatigue strength speed and all is back only my head is like really fucked up and it's hell. It fucking feels like something infiltrated my head and lives up there fucking virus what kind of virus is that that it can fucks up you're brain and body
Sounds similar to me. I don’t even want to talk about this it’s traumatic. I had it Nov 2020. I still get anxiety and depression and am still on sertraline 100mg . Had long covid . Was like torture . Anyway it does for me go away but extremely slowly . Every two months there is an improvement . Oh and yes I feel that my brain was attacked by the virus and the immune system has troubles getting it out of me
What worked for me, to some degree, was suggested by my neurologist for all these crazy brain sensations/pressure, etc. SlowMag (slow release magnesium - can by over the counter) & Vitamin B2 Riboflavin for migraines (which i didn't have headaches so much as nerve pain/sensations on head). Both helped to some degree. Also Amitriptyline Hcl 10 MG Tab (one nightly) prescribed by neurologist helped with some stress/tension head stuff that goes on. Going back for more advice though next week as now i have the head sensation with burning ears and rashes. Good luck.
You might ask ENTs (ear, nose, throat doctors) if they can treat your sense of taste. There is a retraining procedure for the same distortion of smells. It is fairly lengthy but can be done at home. For the freezing, your GP can have a thyroid measurement included in your next blood test. However, low thyroid is associated with inability to _lose_ weight rather than inability to gain it. I wish you the best!
I have joint,muscle pains.On days I have flares, I take 600mg ibuprofen .Stay in bed, then it passes for days, and a flare. Many symptoms daily ,but the pain hurts.
That must be one of the scary things - not knowing if it is the new normal. I'm encouraged by the number of people who report recovery from individual symptoms even when it was months later.
I have not been the same since I got covid in March 2022. I have sleeping issues, can't regulate my temperature (hot & cold) foggy brain, fatigue , joint pain, muscle and back pain, anxiety, irritability. When will this be over?? I go to doctors but they say it's premenapause but I'm only 43 years old and this started after covid. I wish doctors would read more
I had covid before but recovered within 3 to day w no long covid. Then weeks later I got the pfizer mRNA vaccine, on October 29 I got infected w covid again while eating in the mall restaurant, this time around I got very very sick then when I recovered, a week later I had symptoms of long haul covid to this very day December 12 and it doesn't seem to go away.
3 days of anti histamines cured my 22 month nightmare . 1 per night took my headache and body pain away immediately but taken about 3 weeks to go through 3 weeks for whole body to repair The changes to my body started in my gut
@@mdzaid594 It probably won’t work for everyone but no harm in trying The ones I got were Clarityn - 1 a day. Allergy 10mg tablets . Laratadine from Amazon - 30 tablets I only took them for 3 days as my stomach was a bit bloated and grumbling but the pain was gone My whole body is still recovering and that’s been nearly 4 weeks but I am much much better and no pain Good luck 👍
@@duneideann9241 Is long covid more common with people who have allergies i wonder?which is auto immune.. my long covid feels like severe hay fever coupled with fatigue so im going to try clarytin, thanks
@@teeees6455 There seems to be a lot of people who live with slightly high levels of histamine and the virus / vaccines send the histamine levels sky high causing severe headaches and pressure in the head. The antihistamines worked for me. I tool one tablet for 3 nights and my headaches and pressure disappeared and have not returned. I still have other long Covid symptoms but feel better without these headaches. Might not work for everyone . Good luck 👍
I have developed anxiety, panic attacks and distorted sense of smell it's like 90 percent of my smells are back since September 2021 when I got covid anxiety always lurking behind me and I don't know when it will attack and I just learned to deal with it but tommorow I'm scheduling for my appointment to a psychiatrist so that they can give me prescriptions and proper medication. Because it is distraction for my well being, I am working and a student at same time.
I received all vaccines plus the booster. Had mild Covid October 21, 3 weeks later had heart attack. Had booster November 21 then started to develop symptoms - weakness in muscles, brain fog, fatigue never ending. Thinking it was the heart medication I have stopped all pills except aspirin and I am taking vitamin d, magnesium and a multi vitamin to see if symptoms improve. After 3 weeks lower leg tension and weakness has improved slightly, brain fog slightly better, fatigue overtakes me every day. I am inclined to think self healing is the way forward. Doctor doesn’t have answers except anti depressant and I don’t agree.
Yes Vitamin D helps a lot especial for muscle pain. But what helped most for me was some info I came across regarding histamine intolerance with the indication that antihistamines could help (by taking 2 per day till symptoms relieve. DR Tina Peters on line). I called it "overload " Started on the antihistamines and it didn't take long to relieve some of the symptoms especially the skin rashes and hives I got after the first vaccine shot. Secondly I had a craving for oranges and found some other info about the effects of Vitamin C . So also started a supplement. This helped the fatigue immensely. What persists is the lung scarring and shortness of breath from any exertion. Some other info has suggested Vitamin E with tocotrionols helps repair lungs so have started on these. I doubt there is any one magic pill for everything but tackling symptoms works.
Diane thank you for the helpful information.I have severe histamine intolerance.What histamine do you recommend?I also have scarred lungs,how much but E?
Is the relief from Vitamin D ongoing or do you take the supplements every day to keep it away? (Just curious - taking the supplements daily is a good thing anyway.)
I am a long hauler but must tell you 5yrs ago I had the same flu, i felt like i was being beaten by a boxer and couldn't stand up. I lost my sense of smell. It was exactly the same. Explain
Had the “flu” Feb of 2000. Had an inhaler for months after and finally a chest X-ray showed lung scaring and told I probably had pneumonia. To this date I have insomnia, heart valve damage, anxiety and heart palpitation.

What about us who tested negative several times such as myself but beginning last year March 2020, I had a variety of onset of covid like sypmtoms & many persist presently from rashes, shortness of breath, months of constipation, headaches, dizziness, constant abdominal pain, chest pain, (back & neck pain which now has seen to be osteoarthritis which I never had before, muscle twitching, tremors, small intestinal bacterial growth, chronic Proctitis, occasional tongue electrical inflammation type feeling, bloating, occasional fatigue when over exertion...how does one get the necessary help when has not been diagnosed even though displaying long covid sypmtoms....15 months in...can my physician still diagnose this without a positive test

Great ti hear that... hope u will kick your last symptoms soon and become 100%... me, I am still dealing with fatigue, POTS, and some leg heaviness and aches...
@@shaft657 how long have you been dealing with it? Has anything seem to bring any kind of relief to any of the sypmtoms? I know many doctors don't have a clue what to do & we have to try certain things on our own....my rheumatologist prescribed high dose of gabapentin along Tylenol (arthritis) & that did help with nerve neck & back pain but it take about a year of trying different things in order to find out what would work, but this abdomen thing seems relentless. You may want to ask your dr. about gabapentin or amitriptyline
I've had purple toes last year, Docs said not to worry about it, this year weakness muscles extreme fatigue no energy headaches hand tremors sore feet, hot feet. Haven't had antibody test but had many antigen tests which were all negative
Find another doctor, purple toes could be a sign of thrombosis ( blood clots) ask a qualified physician about a low dose of aspirin that helps blood flow/blood clots by thinning the blood. Get a doctor that will follow flccc.net guidelines for long-haul covid.
How would an SSRI/drugs, particularly fluvoxamine (in this case) prevent you from getting LC? Those drugs have similar side effects identical to LC symptoms.

I made a comment a while back on experimenting with water fasting to combat my Long Covid. I was suffering with debilitating fatigue and PEM that would leave me unable to do the laundry. Breathlessness, the lot. Life felt on hold for the best part of a year. I did a 3 day water fast (with salt/electrolytes), and can now happily say my condition is cured. Resolved 95% within a week of the fast, brief minor recurrence of very mild fatigue for a few days here and there, now 100% gone. Just a case of rebuilding strength and cardio now. Can do full strength training sessions as per pre Covid, no PEM to speak of. I’d highly recommend people to try this, with proper research and advice from a doctor. Any questions, I’ll do my best to help. May everyone recover as fast as possible. Cheers 🙂
@@teeees6455 There's some research showing that it can clear a lot of damaged proteins in the body via autophagy upregulation and also regenerate the immune system to some degree. Maybe this helps Long Covid via clearing viral debris and calming the hyper sensitive immune response, but I'm just speculating.
Thank you, Dr. Risinger, I, finally, received my first Pfizer shot and get another on the 23rd (looking forward to it!) I appreciate your insights into this perplexing issue of "long-haulers." Is the use of Ivermectin and Fluvoxamine being tested off-label? If so, and the results can be shown to be positive, the label usage should be updated. Again, thanks! :)
I have an opinion about ivermectin it’s really work I have friends in the Dominican Republic and when you get COVID immediately start giving the ivermectin but you have to have the virus and they had told me the medication low the time in the hospital and like 10 days after the quarantine the smell and taste had come and this people had need vaccinated before. I am saying this because every here in any branch of the government and pharmaceutical never took in consideration because there is not money in there and a lot people would had been saved and the died because money that for me is crazy FPS
@@blakemoore666 the worst thing is that when I explain this to doctors, including the pulmonologist, they look at me like I’m crazy or making this up.

My body reacted the same way it reacted to the real virus.

13 months in myself this is the protocol that i used, it does get better some long haulers quicker than others. i still struggle but nothing like i was, you need zinc (50mg) and vitamin b1 (200mg and a good source the rest of the B vitamins), that's what the body uses to stem the inflammation. zinc deficiency manifests as hair falling out, rapid onset fatigue is a sign of b1 deficiency..... a crushed glove of garlic, two to three times a day ( leave it for 10 mins before you add it to food, it allows the allicin to form) this will ease your breathing. 3-4000 mg of vitamin c a day. one aspirin. resveratol 200 mg. green tea, turmeric, omega-3 50 mg for the headache. vitamin d 10,000- 4000 iu a day, pine bark extract, vitamin E with a full spectrum of tocopherols and over the counter anti-histamines. essentially what i can gather is it messes with the endothelia cell function, these cells make up the lining of your capillaries and when damaged leak fluids into the surrounding tissue. all of the above will help with this and there is something that heals the cell, called endothelial progenitor cells. these get released by the bone marrow so it just takes time and unfortunately the only way to keep these upregulated is through exercise which is hard when your suffering but as soon as you can start walking little bits at a time and progressively increase as the health will allow ( stay out of strong winds).... if you don't already try adding some leafy greens to your diet, especially spinach, its got plant sterols in it which help with rebuilding the damaged of the body, also a herb called Gotu Kola, this helps the endothelial cells function better, avoid dairy, refined sugars and tomatoes.....also some sauerkraut or kimchi to help your gut heal
@@terimurphy4009 your welcome, i hope these things help and you get well really quickly. watch the vitamin b1 some people get flushing (reddening of the cheeks) so maybe 50 mg to start and slowly increase. i never had this problem with it though...... you can get some of the omega three from walnuts, a hand full or two a day, these will also help your gut and a handful of pistachio, around 20-25g, about 8 o'clock at night will give you a few mg of melatonin
Hi, 13 months here too. I use Longvida Tumeric to reduce inflammation,, NAC for chest and improve your Glutathione levels . Niacin to improve overall condition . Niacin helps me most a form of B3 . Start low dose with niacin to avoid hot flush. But those three helped me most .
I've had the covid back in December 2020 and was in the hospital for a week. It's been almost six months and I still have problems breathing feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen but my oxygen level is ok can't make any sense out of it. Anyway I was tested four days ago and I still have the antibodies.
Hi I'm a patient with long covid😷 with severe fatigue insomnia and brain fog. Slowly recovering with the help of good doctors but initially astonished with the response of my doctor colleagues unfortunately less informed and very little empathy. Very disheartening.

Great info but really makes those of us suffering same symptoms for many many years., myself over 20 very upset, we had whats called chronic fatigue syndrome. we were insulted, told was all in our head and to seek psychological help while symptoms were just as real as long haulers. I went to college started support group at local hospital for 23 years. I got a study published in a large medical journal, hoping to find a common thread we all had. I had over 440 people in my group all seeking help or acknowledgement. Now everyone is acting like these symptoms are something new. If anyone wants help dive into literature and books written for us mostly by sufferers of cfs, some doctors themself you will get great tips and help to cope until hopefully your own symptoms abate. good luck to all hope they dont forget you too.
Please read Judy Mikovits book "Plague"...also study Chronic Lyme disease. Traditional doctors do not know anything about healing for the most part...you have to go to "alternative" sources (they were the way people healed for centuries...modern pharmakeia is alternative actually)...They have done the same con job with the chronic Lyme community and got away with it since the 70s...We are told that it is all in our head while we fall apart and become bedridden and in constant pain...till we wake up and quit trusting those who make money off of keeping people sick. Pharma whores will kill us if we let them...sold their souls to the devil for money and fame...I was labeled with CFS/Fibro and many other things before I realized it was a bioweapon from hell...or Plum Island...study that along with Operation Paperclip/Nazi Scientist/Eric Traub...Once I realized what I was fighting...then I started to heal...Bedridden for three years listening to pharma whores...I got Long Haulers after being full well from Lyme...they both feel the same. But, what helped me recover from Lyme is helping with the Long COVID...Detox...Detox...Detox...and restore the body with nutrients. I had Meyer's cocktail IVs for many years...was having to use a rollerwalker to get around before I started them...Now I can just take a lot of vitamins and stay mobile...these "viruses" destroy the immune system and we have to do something to restore.

Survivor corps is a large general group for "everything COVID." There are so many groups that focus exclusively on long haulers and only allow long haulers in. Survivor corps is also a public group, so anything you share over there can be shared out of the group... all the other groups are private & make a safe space for people to share their experiences.
40 years ago fibromyalgia was a "fringe" diagnosis with lots of docs saying it was all in the patients' heads. A friend and his wife both had it after a bout of mononucleosis. IIRC it is now widely accepted but not much better understood... like long haul COVID.
Long hauler here. Before the second round of symptoms hit I was an Ironman athlete. I developed neurological dysfunction, tremors, pain, shortness of breath, and extreme muscle wellness. At one point I used a walker for 3 weeks. This all lasted for about 6 months. The only therapy that seemed to work for me was Strain/counter strain. I tried acupuncture, PT, Airrosti, pain meds, etc…just recently I’ve been able to complete 20 minutes on my bike. Don’t give up and keep grinding.

Dear Doctor Can some of these long covid symptoms also be caused by the Mrna vaccines if the patient contracted covid a few weeks after the second dose ? What do you think about the theory that the long covid profile is very similar to MAST CELL ACTIVATION SYNDROME CHEERS
Yes, I experienced log hauler symptoms after infected Covid-19 for more than 2 months, after I got 1st dose of Pfizer vaccine in the beginning of April, these long hauler symptoms getting worst (Shortness of breath, racing heart beats, burning sensation with additional digestive issues) . Should I continue to take the 2nd dose ?
I read if you’ve had covid, that one shot should be good enough. I am not a doctor, it is just something I read. I would not get another shot, see your dr. Hope you feel better, soon!

Thank you for sharing. This is the most terrifying and isolating experience I have ever had.
Thanks for the info, there's hope for us, long-haulers, got COVID back in November 13 with mild symptoms but a week later I felt really weird like I was gonna pass out and since that day I been feeling dizzy, lightheaded, anxiety and weird palpitations every day, day and night, the first two weeks were the worst I thought I was going to die because of fast palpitations and intense head
aches at the same time, I went to the ER and everything came back normal, wasn't able to work for one month I though I was goin to loose my job because of my dizziness and headaches, so the fifth week I decided to go back to work and felt really bad still but you know, bills cant wait. Now my dizziness, headaches and palpitations are not as bad. every day is different, but even when I'm watching a movie I get anxiety and start getting palpitations so I have to get up and do something else to distract my brain, hopefully I get better with time, I read that it could go away between 2 to 6 months, sometimes I feel really sad because i start thinking that could be my new life dealing with all this awful symptoms :( Only time will tell.
Sounds like you may have POTS which can be caused by many things but after having had a virus. You need to see a cardiologist or neurologist for a tilt table test for diagnosis.
Check the UA-cam video Dr Shankara Chetty discusses his Covid management approach. To discuss with your Dr.
I am dealing with all the same issues and I have POTS as well. I just got over covid 3 weeks ago and it affected my spleen, heart, red blood cells, I have an over active thyroid, and my muscles ache and cramp constantly. I feel dizzy and emotional because its scary bit knowing when it will end
Don’t do pots treatment!! It’s not pots.
Pots treatments can and will cause more problems. Just trust me, I know it’s hard, but do not listen to this lady.
I actually got “ long covid “ like syndrome following vaccination. Severe injury as well that left me hospitalized. And, I’m a viral immunologist, so it was tough for me to believe.
How long did it last? Or do you still have long covid? What’re your symptoms? I think mine started with vaccine too. Awful.
Same, from 1st dose of Pfizer. It's been 9 months of extremely debilitating symptoms. Cytokine test had many that were elevated like a COVID infection but I have never had COVID.
@Fionn MacCuill Thanks! I don't think I ever contracted COVID. I believe my injury is 100% from the vaccine.

@Fionn MacCuill thank u..

Reading these comments have helped me immensely. I have come a long way overcoming the covid virus but still struggle with some fatigue, sense of taste is completely off, dizziness is almost gone as is the heart palpitations. It's been going on 3 months now. Did not vaccinate, have not been to the Dr yet. Began B12, zinc, and VitD about 8 months before I was exposed to covid. I'm getting better everyday and giving my body time to heal itself. Looks like it may take a while. Nothing, with the exception of the little Halo oranges tastes good to me. It bothers me to try and eat a meal and not have any desire for it. I do plan on a Dr visit soon. God bless to those struggling. I believe you will get better, you know your body. Rest, eat well, see your Dr and stay positive.

I've been dealing with this for 2 years, I got Covid back in March 2020. I'm still in the cardiologist part of it but getting referred to a neurologist soon. I have had amazing healthcare professionals throughout all of this though, from the nurses to the techs to doctors, everyone has been very compassionate and caring. So far I'm on 8 medications and a supplement but my quality of life is still pretty crappy, not anyone's fault it's just how it goes sometimes. It's super frustrating to keep struggling with this and having symptoms for so long but therapy has been getting me cope. Groups aren't my thing but it's great they help others.

For those of us with autoimmune & autonomic nervous system reactions, we need to see the right specialist....a Rheumatologist. A GP is way out of their league with blood disorders, we need an entirely different approach to cope with a constantly triggered immune system. My doctors have never dealt with the type of anaphylactic episodes I have so the help (if it works) is very temporary.
Sounds like you may also have MCAS. Most GPs will refer you to see specialist. Ask your rheumatologist if it's possible.
Hey dear, have you seen a rheumatologist and did he help??
GPS know very little about most things. They are just there for easy and common ailments. I put little faith in them.
I have Graves’ disease and have yet to find a doctor that’s willing to treat me they say I just need an endocrinologist but the endocrinologist does treats the thyroid and if that’s under control but I’m still have an auto immune disorder problems where do I go so I tried NRA they don’t work or rheumatologist whatever you wanna call him there are no special doctors for this I’ve tried it good luck

I have been taking Benadryl for 4 nights so far, and my life has improved dramatically!
I chose Benadryl because they say it crosses the blood brain barrier. in hopes of clearing out covid that probably is in my brain.
I will suggest antihistamines to anyone suffering long covid!
@@kim.in.nature. that's amazing! So glad to hear that, subscribed to your channel, let's keep connected about progress 🙏🏻
@@WasabiWallaby I watched your cemetery video. I will sub to your channel too, Thx. I love cemeteries.
I was in Australia in 1990. Love it there!
Yes, keep in touch, I do other stuff for covid too, but the Benadryl has made the biggest impact.
@@kim.in.nature. thanks so much! I look forward to watching your content and hearing more about your journey. Keep well. Xx
Two bouts of Covid and 11 months of Covid longhaul. You forgot to state about the blood clotting issues and inflammation issues.
Are you dealing with symptoms?
Very good promotion for the vaccines. I'm not convinced though. Dear Dr you are just making one way discussion. Where are the scientists with different opinion. We will decide if you are right or not.
I think it’s the wrong approach to treat each symptom separately. It’s all the same underlying process - inflammation, plus stuck in “fight or flight”. If you can get yourself back in to “rest and digest” your body will heal. You don’t even need medication for this. No body systems work properly in constant fight or flight. And the body doesn’t know that the medical profession separates it into different systems. It works as a whole.
Hope this can be helpful.

How do you get yourself back into rest and digest???
I have been told that I am continually in
"Fight or flight" but was never given a way to combat it....
@@Andthereyouhaveit Poor you. It’s awful, isn’t it? I did several things. I changed my diet so it was more anti-inflammatory (it doesn’t have to be perfect). I sat in the garden every morning, to get some morning light and the benefits of nature. In the beginning I had 2 naps per day, and then just one, so I didn’t push myself too far. I just slowly nudged myself forward. I listened to a yoga nidra (check it out on UA-cam) every day. I did breathing exercises whenever I felt overwhelmed (4,7,8 breathing). I had a bath (not too hot) every night before I went to bed. Above all, I was very kind to myself. I spoke to myself as if I was a small child who needed comforting. I told myself “You can do this” every day. I celebrated even tiny amounts of progress. I didn’t beat myself up if I went wrong somewhere. When I felt a bit better, I added in probiotics. I did my best to eliminate things that would put me into fight of flight. I deleted social media (especially the long covid support groups - they were too negative and people kept reporting scary new studies), I didn’t watch the news (I had to concentrate on myself for a bit). I tried not to speak harshly to myself. Whenever I felt fear about the future, I tried to visualise a lovely future (this was difficult at first but soon my brain went with it). When I stated to exercise, I just walked for 5 mins every second day. Then after a week I increased to 10 mins every second day, and so on. My symptoms would get worse again briefly with every increase, but then settle down again. When I went back to work I had a very slow phased return. I am now fully recovered. I haven’t gone back to my old crap diet, and I still enjoy yoga nidra. You can do this. X
@@Andthereyouhaveit My story too. Have you had any success in finding your way to the right help for the stuck in flight or fight mode- please let us know 🙂
@@boxerdogmum583 Hi, do you like a particular yoga nidra teacher on UA-cam? I've been checking the videos out, too ☺️
I’m experiencing this now, Long covid has completely stripped me from my personal & professional life.
I'm right there with you. I'm confident though that we'll get through it.
Same :/ I lost two jobs during 2021 as I was unable to concentrate, learn new things and was borderline depressed all the time. Have you experienced muscle soreness? Kind of as if you did tons of exercise, I'm having that but at the same time losing muscle mass 🤷♀️ this is horrible.
@@michaelpittman4821 yes, overtime’s it’s just about managing symptoms. Keeping stress levels low are important because when I get stressed my symptoms flare up.
@@etorresrodz I know, it really sucks I was basically bed ridden for a month & had depression too really bad at one point. My recommendation is physical therapy. Do physical therapy 3 times a week. Do the appointments early so it gets u out of bed and your muscles moving. It was painful for me at first. My joint pain made me feel like I couldn’t walk but overtime physical therapy helped and got me moving again. And then for the brain fog I used men’s one a day & natures way B12 1000mcg that helped. I still have bad brain fog but I noticed if I keep stress levels down it helps. People will say it’s all in your head but it’s definitely not, covid effects you physically & mentally so take it day by day and any improvement is great. And you will have bad days and good days but your not alone a lot of us are going thru this. Stay positive, try and manage symptoms. Hope u Feel better

Dealing with shortness of breath and chest pain every day and every second for 2 months now is literally torture ……
I had that for like 5 months until it started getting better then i caught covid again and got long covid again now, this is what helped me heal NAC, Spermadine(mushrooms (shiitake are best) + mature cheddar cheese) Herbs like parsley, thyme, rosemary, etc.., Turmeric, Garlic,) Intermittent fasting dont eat until 12pm - 6pm then fast 18 hours. Dont exercise as that makes the symptoms worse, wait a few months until you exercise, Vitamin d + resveratrol. There is a smoothie by Dr rhonda patrick on youtube look it up, that did wonders for me. Steak + chimichurri really helped also, make sure you make your own chimichurri with oregano + parsley, garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar. Best of luck!
Vaxxed?
Yep, here in New Zealand the doctors (Government funded) and government are in total denial about the community transmission that happened at the time of the first lockdown here. Post viral long haulers are completely dismissed.
That happened in the US if you have autoimmune disorder once my thyroid levels were normal even though I had Graves’ disease and it was misdiagnosed for 10 years it reeks havoc on my body. Every time I had a problem they couldn’t explain it so your levels are fine when I went other doctors all the records are tied in in the US so they would say will thyroid levels define your endocrinologist post on here and so that means you shouldn’t have a problem. People with autoimmune disorder know exactly what he was long haulers are going through we’ve been going through this there’s no answer either
Same in Sweden! Majority of LC patients are from the first wave 2020 jan - may. Government shoved 25.000 severly ill people under the rug...but hey... Sweden was brave not to do anything against a unknown virus. Like going to a boxing fight and the oponent could be Mike Tyson.
I have post covid symtoms still. I had covid in august 2021. I did find chewing Wrigley's spearment gum helps make the covid cough go away. Good protein helps with the shaking.The more you build up the protein in your body the better. Also I use collagen peptides, tart cherry, and ginger for inflammation and pain. I lost most of my hair and the peptides do help it grow back. Also saw palmetto helps with hair growth. Garlic is also a very good anti-inflammatory. I say these things because a lot of people like myself cannot take or react to pharmaceutical medications. I do better on herbs and natural food. It takes longer but worth it, because there's no reactions or side affects. It's worked for me, I hope these things work for other people as well.
I agree with you about not adding anymore pharmaceuticals into your body. The body needs all its energy to detox and heal.
I've no clue if this could be helpful to you or not. 18 yrs ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury. I lost a great deal of cognitive & memory ability. For 2 yrs, I wasn't "myself" (words are inadequate), though I appeared to pretty much function just fine. However my family began to notice I'd changed since prior to the accident. Then at that 2 yr mark it was as if a switch had been flipped & I even said aloud in the moment "I'm back!". I had some pretty severe brain fog with covid. It was eerily similar to right after my accident, too similar.....and in some ways worse. I'm at the end of week 4 and it was just a few days ago most of the fog lifted, though I still have cognitive & memory issues. My brain fog was literally an altered state of mind, not just clouded thinking sort of thing. I was what I call "here but not here". Makes me wonder what this virus was doing inside my brain. Meanwhile, shortness of breath continues, chest pain, cognitive/memory issues, and the virus damaged my heart.......and I have stomach/bowel issues. Not to mention that gawd awful fatigue that is as if someone drugged you. My dr tells me I'll be out of work for likely at least 2 more months, probably longer depending on what the cardiologist needs to do. However, even with the other issues, it's the brain fog that disturbs me the most........because I keep wondering what the virus was doing to brain cells/connections to have caused the same state of mind as a traumatic brain injury.
I experience brain fog the exact same way, almost like I’m in a dream and just watching myself exist. I think the vitamin d and k2 with zinc has been helping me a lot. My main problem is my chest, i feel like i have bad chest congestion and its so difficult to clear it to a point where im struggling to breathe
Update please on the shortness of breath??
@@roberttruth2717 shortness of breath has improved but not gone away. Covid left me with COPD as well as severe congestive heart failure & cardiomyopathy. Cardio tinkering with heart meds did improve it quite a bit. They're still adjusting them too.
@@lisanull900 how’s your brain fog?
@@naturespleasantries probably 80 percent gone but I still have a lot of cognitive & memory issues. When questioned about anything that took place during the heavy brain fog.....I have very little memory of it, snippets instead of memories. I'm 18 months out from when I got sick. My heavy brain fog hung on for a lot longer than most people's seem to.
Thanks so much for this video. I am a long-hauler 77 years old, my sister, 76, and I went into the hospital the same day. She died six weeks later and I went into a coma for 90 days (3 and 1/2 months total in the hospital).

I'm struggling with long covid now, it's annoying to say the least!
My symptoms have been ongoing for a year now. I still haven't found a doctor who has any idea of what to do.
Covid killed my gut and I have had hives daily for over 8 months now. I’m working hard at gaining back my health but it hasn’t been easy. Truly a marathon. 😢
Got my gut too. I've always said like it was nuked. Hope yours gets back to totally healthy.
You might find 16:8 diet might help. But don't do prolonged fasting periods i.e., longer than 16 hours.
The vaccination did NOT improve my long Covid. I am now in month 8 of PASC and have tried nearly all medications recommended to help.
Still waiting for a breakthrough....

I got covid right after Christmas 2021 and was starting to get better but then a week ago I developed heart issues and stomach problems with high blood pressure which before covid never had any issues with any of the symptoms before... Your video gives me some hope
Same! I had covid start of October 2021. Recovered for 5 weeks then got long covid which started off as gastritis!

@@clairchetwood9777 Are you feeling better now Clair? I’m having the exact same issues
@@mattholley3642 Up and down Matt. Having good days followed by relapses, but for the past month my relapses have only lasted a few hours each time with less intense symptoms. I really do believe we will eventually recover. How are you?
@@clairchetwood9777 Hey Clair, thank you so much for the reply! Great to hear your relapses are getting shorter and shorter. Sounds like you’re on an effective road to recovery. I had covid Dec 21 and have a pretty rough time with it, but overcame the acute infection by day 10. Got back to life and felt 90-95% for about 4 months, thought it was going to be all up from there. I foolishly went back to my doctor for an unrelated issue and was prescribed Doxy (antibiotic) which I believe totally destroyed my gut. 2 weeks later had some intense belching, bloating, GI issues. Started again from my gut and then I started to get all of the symptoms back. Extreme fatigue, brain fog, muscle twitching, headaches, high HR, palpitations and the unshakable GI issues. That’s pretty much where I’m at now. I’m thinking the theory of long haulers already having bad gut health pre-infection makes them susceptible to LC is likely true. Working on eating probiotic/fermented, cutting out bad foods, lots of rest and pacing but I should get onto the vitamins. What did you find helpful?
Fluvoxamine has resolved all of my symptoms. I was a long hauler for 3-4 months after a very mild infection. My doctors wouldn't give me ivm or steroids and I wish I did. I had to do research and thanks to doctors like you I was able to gather enough evidence to get Fluvoxamine. I also know of others who have been suffering for much longer and fluvoxamine relieved their symptoms as well.
What symptoms did you experience? For how long did you take fluvoxamine? Thanks for the info!
What were your symptoms
How did an anti- depressant cure post Covid problems?
@@megsarna7429 That is bizarre. Touting a drug that's for obsessions, compulsions and depression.
What were your symptoms? Please share.
My heart started acting up after I had a bout of mild covid. My symptoms were I had major headache, I was dizzy, blurry eyesight, fever, light body aches, No cough. Then about 2 weeks later I felt better and felt I beat Covid. And about 3rd week my heart started skipping beats and felt like fluttering with a pound or heartbeat. It felt like it fluttered and the beat catches up. Now today my heart is not the same. I currently have a new heart beat. I also feel dizzy. The ekg showed PVCs and Nonspecific ST and T Wave abnormalities. Nobody can give me answers as to why or what is happening. My Dr says should go away with time.
I was vaccinated and boosted and sadly still I got covid a little over a month after I was boosted. I’m not the same today. I feel awful. Drs still doing test on my heart and really have no answers except they’re explaining that their seeing many new patients with heart irregularities now. And should go away with time.
Sadly I’m scared and don’t feel the same with my new heartbeat.
My family, sisters, parents, nieces, friends, so many friends, All were also vaccinated and some had covid multiple times. They had mild cold symptoms or flu symptoms but no heart problems. I’m the only one.
You have answers for why this is happening you were vaccinated. None of this stuff is happening to the unvaccinated. Long covid seems to be the new term for vaxxed injuries.
The vaccine may have triggered a heart condition that was mild and went unnoticed by doctors now it has made it worse. Sorry about that
My Dr. says it is just anxiety and all in my head or maybe depression. There are just no Dr.s in our area that will help in my area.
My symptoms started after Pfizer
Long COVID is used in
England a short and easy to understand term.
Professionals might prefer the one used in this video but, for the rest of us, Long COVID is a much easier way to describe the disease.
Thank you for your video! 🍀
Suggesting more spikes as a treatment for long haul is ridiculous. Though, credit for covering other options.

I hope you don't get the full long covid pack I had my infection October 5 man I had over 20 fck symptoms that changed over time now I only still have heavy visual, hearing problems with disoriented brain fog enormous pressure on my head like something is in my head sometimes it feels like my brain can't register things for a tiny second like walking or sum it feels like falling I really don't wish that to anyone I have that everyday it fucks me up. But in 4 days I go to the neuro hospital and will stay there for a few days so they will check me up
Yes! Going through the exact same thing now. Got covid the first week of january and still struggeling. I just want to lay on the couch all day. But, one thing that I have noticed that makes my depression and anxiety worse is reading stories of other long haulers online! They are mostly negative, because in those Facebook groups people just want to get things off their chest. You just read the worst stories that will probably never apply to us. And also: you never read stories of recovery, because those people just move on with their life.
So, here is some positive news! 1 Some of my symptoms are gone, like my brain fog (it's amazing to be able to think straight lol). 2 There's good days inbetween the bad days. 3 Mindfulness exercises work. 4 Going off the internet works for my anxiety. 5 We don't know much about the virus yet, so we'll probably be better some day!!
@@veranieuwenhuijse2447 I’ve actually felt a lot better these past 4-5 days so I’m hoping that it’s passed for the most part. Better mood, appetite and energy to do things so I’m hoping it stays like this. And that the same goes for you !

@@tejaspwr301 start taking supplements
I completely disagree that vaccines are helpful for long Covid. I received the Moderna vaccine after a bad Covid infection and have been much worse ever since. I’ve had debilitating migraines and the only thing that has helped is Gabapentin prescribed by a Neurologist. I also can no longer tolerate any alcohol. I’m finding that a lot of rest and reducing stress is very helpful. I still work out a lot, but I allow for lots of naps.
I have read most of the comments & no-one has mentioned being on oxygen since having COVID, I had underlying breathing problems before where it didn't seem serious enough to the Respiratory doctors as they were busy coping with a Pandemic, well I contacted COVID in August last year was admitted to hospital was put on oxygen straight away, spent a month in hospital & 8 months later I still am, I have a lot of symptoms previously stated but my biggest problem is fatigue, It's debilitating. I don't go out much as the cylinders are heavy to carry, I get very depressed & my GP told me 2 weeks ago that I have permanent lung damage & will possibly need oxygen the rest of my life.......... I just hope & pray he's wrong. ...I can sympathize with anyone suffering with the effects from COVID 19.

1) For people who are experiencing long haul symptoms like myself (particularly shortness of breath), what have you done that has had some positive effect???
2) What is ivermectin and where can you purchase it?
Hi how is your breathing problem are you feeling any better
Up the vitamin c to 10,000 a day. Same with vitamin d. I also take 3-4 drops of oregano oil every morning in water (diluted with chlorophyll and spiralina liquid drops) glutathione and nac, potassium, magnesium, i take as well but not as much now that I am feeling better, most of all rest, and healthy eating, exercise 4 times a week. God bless
Stopping ANY food that creates an Histamine response. Slowing down, relaxing and meditation. Antihistamines work great too!
India dropped ivermectin because it does not work for covid treatment.

What I have now is: Brain fog, visual and hearing problems like heavy, disoriented strong, pressure on my head, sometimes the floor feels like it's shaking for example I could not go and run right now outside I would fall but in the gym on the treadmill it's okay. I don't have body symptoms no more like pain fatigue strength speed and all is back only my head is like really fucked up and it's hell.

Anyway it does for me go away but extremely slowly . Every two months there is an improvement . Oh and yes I feel that my brain was attacked by the virus and the immune system has troubles getting it out of me
I have same symptoms. Message me
How are you feeling today?
What worked for me, to some degree, was suggested by my neurologist for all these crazy brain sensations/pressure, etc. SlowMag (slow release magnesium - can by over the counter) & Vitamin B2 Riboflavin for migraines (which i didn't have headaches so much as nerve pain/sensations on head). Both helped to some degree. Also Amitriptyline Hcl 10 MG Tab (one nightly) prescribed by neurologist helped with some stress/tension head stuff that goes on. Going back for more advice though next week as now i have the head sensation with burning ears and rashes. Good luck.

You might ask ENTs (ear, nose, throat doctors) if they can treat your sense of taste. There is a retraining procedure for the same distortion of smells. It is fairly lengthy but can be done at home. For the freezing, your GP can have a thyroid measurement included in your next blood test. However, low thyroid is associated with inability to _lose_ weight rather than inability to gain it.
I wish you the best!

Hello, do you have pain in the leg, knee and thigh? I have pain in the left area only, and how long did your thigh pain last?
3 days of anti histamines cured my 22 month nightmare .
1 per night took my headache and body pain away immediately but taken about 3 weeks to go through 3 weeks for whole body to repair
The changes to my body started in my gut
Plz. Can u name the antihistamine. Plz tell about everything to treat this. I am in pain.
@@mdzaid594 It probably won’t work for everyone but no harm in trying
The ones I got were Clarityn - 1 a day. Allergy 10mg tablets . Laratadine from Amazon - 30 tablets
I only took them for 3 days as my stomach was a bit bloated and grumbling but the pain was gone
My whole body is still recovering and that’s been nearly 4 weeks but I am much much better and no pain
Good luck 👍
@@duneideann9241 Thanks.
@@duneideann9241 Is long covid more common with people who have allergies i wonder?which is auto immune..
my long covid feels like severe hay fever coupled with fatigue so im going to try clarytin, thanks
@@teeees6455 There seems to be a lot of people who live with slightly high levels of histamine and the virus / vaccines send the histamine levels sky high causing severe headaches and pressure in the head. The antihistamines worked for me. I tool one tablet for 3 nights and my headaches and pressure disappeared and have not returned. I still have other long Covid symptoms but feel better without these headaches. Might not work for everyone . Good luck 👍
LOT OF HAIR LOSS ! NEVER LOST MY HAIR WITH THE FLU. ONLY "COVERT 19 PLANDEMIC"
Thank you for this intuitive video, but you're definitely wrong about the vaccine because taking the jabs was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve never regretted anything more.
I have developed anxiety, panic attacks and distorted sense of smell it's like 90 percent of my smells are back since September 2021 when I got covid anxiety always lurking behind me and I don't know when it will attack and I just learned to deal with it but tommorow I'm scheduling for my appointment to a psychiatrist so that they can give me prescriptions and proper medication. Because it is distraction for my well being, I am working and a student at same time.
It's been 14 plus months im fucked I have all these symptoms I'm ready to die. I'm losing my business I can't work I can't breath. I'm screwed.
Are u feeling any better
Try ivermectin
I received all vaccines plus the booster. Had mild Covid October 21, 3 weeks later had heart attack. Had booster November 21 then started to develop symptoms - weakness in muscles, brain fog, fatigue never ending. Thinking it was the heart medication I have stopped all pills except aspirin and I am taking vitamin d, magnesium and a multi vitamin to see if symptoms improve. After 3 weeks lower leg tension and weakness has improved slightly, brain fog slightly better, fatigue overtakes me every day. I am inclined to think self healing is the way forward. Doctor doesn’t have answers except anti depressant and I don’t agree.
You brought that on yourself.
Yes Vitamin D helps a lot especial for muscle pain. But what helped most for me was some info I came across regarding histamine intolerance with the indication that antihistamines could help (by taking 2 per day till symptoms relieve. DR Tina Peters on line). I called it "overload " Started on the antihistamines and it didn't take long to relieve some of the symptoms especially the skin rashes and hives I got after the first vaccine shot. Secondly I had a craving for oranges and found some other info about the effects of Vitamin C . So also started a supplement. This helped the fatigue immensely. What persists is the lung scarring and shortness of breath from any exertion. Some other info has suggested Vitamin E with tocotrionols helps repair lungs so have started on these. I doubt there is any one magic pill for everything but tackling symptoms works.
Diane thank you for the helpful information.I have severe histamine intolerance.What histamine do you recommend?I also have scarred lungs,how much but E?
Is the relief from Vitamin D ongoing or do you take the supplements every day to keep it away? (Just curious - taking the supplements daily is a good thing anyway.)
@@flagmichael Every day.Cod liver oil best other than the sun.
Antihistamine name plz
I am a long hauler but must tell you 5yrs ago I had the same flu, i felt like i was being beaten by a boxer and couldn't stand up. I lost my sense of smell. It was exactly the same. Explain
Had the “flu” Feb of 2000. Had an inhaler for months after and finally a chest X-ray showed lung scaring and told I probably had pneumonia. To this date I have insomnia, heart valve damage, anxiety and heart palpitation.

What about us who tested negative several times such as myself but beginning last year March 2020, I had a variety of onset of covid like sypmtoms & many persist presently from rashes, shortness of breath, months of constipation, headaches, dizziness, constant abdominal pain, chest pain, (back & neck pain which now has seen to be osteoarthritis which I never had before, muscle twitching, tremors, small intestinal bacterial growth, chronic Proctitis, occasional tongue electrical inflammation type feeling, bloating, occasional fatigue when over exertion...how does one get the necessary help when has not been diagnosed even though displaying long covid sypmtoms....15 months in...can my physician still diagnose this without a positive test
Yes As for an antibody test that way they can tell if you’ve had Covid in the past
J, how are you?
@@shaft657 better...still not 100%...i would say I'm about 90-93% better after 29 months....I'm still dealing with daily abdominal pain which occasionally affect my chest & in turn occasionally affect my breathing but its manageable but the quality of life has still been impacted...i can say that I'm able to workout at the gym now & work my full time job (railriader) with some pain of course, nevertheless, im still capable & my body has gotten stronger as well....just need to get rid of these few sypmtoms....how are you?
Great ti hear that... hope u will kick your last symptoms soon and become 100%... me, I am still dealing with fatigue, POTS, and some leg heaviness and aches...
@@shaft657 how long have you been dealing with it? Has anything seem to bring any kind of relief to any of the sypmtoms? I know many doctors don't have a clue what to do & we have to try certain things on our own....my rheumatologist prescribed high dose of gabapentin along Tylenol (arthritis) & that did help with nerve neck & back pain but it take about a year of trying different things in order to find out what would work, but this abdomen thing seems relentless. You may want to ask your dr. about gabapentin or amitriptyline
I've had purple toes last year, Docs said not to worry about it, this year weakness muscles extreme fatigue no energy headaches hand tremors sore feet, hot feet. Haven't had antibody test but had many antigen tests which were all negative
Find another doctor, purple toes could be a sign of thrombosis ( blood clots) ask a qualified physician about a low dose of aspirin that helps blood flow/blood clots by thinning the blood. Get a doctor that will follow flccc.net guidelines for long-haul covid.

Had and have many of the same issues you did
Found good relief with baby aspirin-still helps on the tough days

How would an SSRI/drugs, particularly fluvoxamine (in this case) prevent you from getting LC? Those drugs have similar side effects identical to LC symptoms.
Hope this can be helpful.

I made a comment a while back on experimenting with water fasting to combat my Long Covid. I was suffering with debilitating fatigue and PEM that would leave me unable to do the laundry. Breathlessness, the lot. Life felt on hold for the best part of a year. I did a 3 day water fast (with salt/electrolytes), and can now happily say my condition is cured. Resolved 95% within a week of the fast, brief minor recurrence of very mild fatigue for a few days here and there, now 100% gone. Just a case of rebuilding strength and cardio now. Can do full strength training sessions as per pre Covid, no PEM to speak of. I’d highly recommend people to try this, with proper research and advice from a doctor. Any questions, I’ll do my best to help. May everyone recover as fast as possible. Cheers 🙂
interesting,i could try water fast..how does it help i wonder
@@teeees6455 There's some research showing that it can clear a lot of damaged proteins in the body via autophagy upregulation and also regenerate the immune system to some degree. Maybe this helps Long Covid via clearing viral debris and calming the hyper sensitive immune response, but I'm just speculating.
@@minituremarvels thank u!I'll try it
@@teeees6455 did you try it?
Thank you, Dr. Risinger, I, finally, received my first Pfizer shot and get another on the 23rd (looking forward to it!)
I appreciate your insights into this perplexing issue of "long-haulers."
Is the use of Ivermectin and Fluvoxamine being tested off-label?
If so, and the results can be shown to be positive, the label usage should be updated.
Again, thanks! :)
They will not recommend anything for treatment for covid because then they cannot justify the Emergency Use Authorization for the Vaccines.

I have an opinion about ivermectin it’s really work I have friends in the Dominican Republic and when you get COVID immediately start giving the ivermectin but you have to have the virus and they had told me the medication low the time in the hospital and like 10 days after the quarantine the smell and taste had come and this people had need vaccinated before. I am saying this because every here in any branch of the government and pharmaceutical never took in consideration because there is not money in there and a lot people would had been saved and the died because money that for me is crazy
FPS
God's mercy nano-medication should be the last-ditch treatment for
COVID-19 long-haulers.
All glory belongs to God !
After I took the 2nd moderna vaccine it brought back most issues, among them a heart pain issue but the heart pain issue got worse.
I had the virus, took Pfizer 1 and 2, both shots brought back the same symptoms as the virus, which is heart palpitations, pacs, pvcs & anxiety.
@@blakemoore666 the worst thing is that when I explain this to doctors, including the pulmonologist, they look at me like I’m crazy or making this up. I keep telling them I’m not the only one, may be a small percentage but we are real people that are suffering also after getting the vaccine. My body reacted the same way it reacted to the real virus.
@@jla1977 yep. I have a cardiologist & an EP now post virus & vaccine. When I told them both this, I got nothing but crickets…..sad state of affairs we are all in now. I live in North Carolina & we have some great docs, of all types, but I asked all the docs I see prior to vaccine & of course all said take it, I didn’t expect anything else from them, they’re afraid of losing job & or getting sued.
@@blakemoore666 do you randomly get pain in the arm where you got vaccinated? Cause I do get that pain randomly and also the part of my body around that area, my left back, chest, neck, etc.
@@jla1977 no haven’t had any issues at the vaccine site. I’ve gotten palpitations, lightheadedness, dizzy, bad headaches, fatigue, brain fog, heart pain, some joint pains….there’s no telling what’s down the road for folks like us
So I’m dealing with “sinus pressure “ no congestion … super annoying
All the time here, and the dizziness… if you see this.. please let me know if you ever got better
I had covid December. Still struggling with my chest. My hair falls out in bunches. It's causing me huge anxiety
13 months in myself this is the protocol that i used, it does get better some long haulers quicker than others. i still struggle but nothing like i was, you need zinc (50mg) and vitamin b1 (200mg and a good source the rest of the B vitamins), that's what the body uses to stem the inflammation. zinc deficiency manifests as hair falling out, rapid onset fatigue is a sign of b1 deficiency..... a crushed glove of garlic, two to three times a day ( leave it for 10 mins before you add it to food, it allows the allicin to form) this will ease your breathing. 3-4000 mg of vitamin c a day. one aspirin. resveratol 200 mg. green tea, turmeric, omega-3 50 mg for the headache. vitamin d 10,000- 4000 iu a day, pine bark extract, vitamin E with a full spectrum of tocopherols and over the counter anti-histamines. essentially what i can gather is it messes with the endothelia cell function, these cells make up the lining of your capillaries and when damaged leak fluids into the surrounding tissue. all of the above will help with this and there is something that heals the cell, called endothelial progenitor cells. these get released by the bone marrow so it just takes time and unfortunately the only way to keep these upregulated is through exercise which is hard when your suffering but as soon as you can start walking little bits at a time and progressively increase as the health will allow ( stay out of strong winds).... if you don't already try adding some leafy greens to your diet, especially spinach, its got plant sterols in it which help with rebuilding the damaged of the body, also a herb called Gotu Kola, this helps the endothelial cells function better, avoid dairy, refined sugars and tomatoes.....also some sauerkraut or kimchi to help your gut heal
@@andrewchristie2713thank you x
@@terimurphy4009 your welcome, i hope these things help and you get well really quickly. watch the vitamin b1 some people get flushing (reddening of the cheeks) so maybe 50 mg to start and slowly increase. i never had this problem with it though...... you can get some of the omega three from walnuts, a hand full or two a day, these will also help your gut and a handful of pistachio, around 20-25g, about 8 o'clock at night will give you a few mg of melatonin
Hi, 13 months here too. I use Longvida Tumeric to reduce inflammation,, NAC for chest and improve your Glutathione levels . Niacin to improve overall condition . Niacin helps me most a form of B3 . Start low dose with niacin to avoid hot flush.
But those three helped me most .
I've had the covid back in December 2020 and was in the hospital for a week. It's been almost six months and I still have problems breathing feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen but my oxygen level is ok can't make any sense out of it. Anyway I was tested four days ago and I still have the antibodies.
Hi I'm a patient with long covid😷 with severe fatigue insomnia and brain fog. Slowly recovering with the help of good doctors but initially astonished with the response of my doctor colleagues unfortunately less informed and very little empathy. Very disheartening.

Great info but really makes those of us suffering same symptoms for many many years., myself over 20 very upset, we had whats called chronic fatigue syndrome. we were insulted, told was all in our head and to seek psychological help while symptoms were just as real as long haulers. I went to college started support group at local hospital for 23 years. I got a study published in a large medical journal, hoping to find a common thread we all had. I had over 440 people in my group all seeking help or acknowledgement. Now everyone is acting like these symptoms are something new. If anyone wants help dive into literature and books written for us mostly by sufferers of cfs, some doctors themself you will get great tips and help to cope until hopefully your own symptoms abate. good luck to all hope they dont forget you too.
Please read Judy Mikovits book "Plague"...also study Chronic Lyme disease. Traditional doctors do not know anything about healing for the most part...you have to go to "alternative" sources (they were the way people healed for centuries...modern pharmakeia is alternative actually)...They have done the same con job with the chronic Lyme community and got away with it since the 70s...We are told that it is all in our head while we fall apart and become bedridden and in constant pain...till we wake up and quit trusting those who make money off of keeping people sick. Pharma whores will kill us if we let them...sold their souls to the devil for money and fame...I was labeled with CFS/Fibro and many other things before I realized it was a bioweapon from hell...or Plum Island...study that along with Operation Paperclip/Nazi Scientist/Eric Traub...Once I realized what I was fighting...then I started to heal...Bedridden for three years listening to pharma whores...I got Long Haulers after being full well from Lyme...they both feel the same. But, what helped me recover from Lyme is helping with the Long COVID...Detox...Detox...Detox...and restore the body with nutrients. I had Meyer's cocktail IVs for many years...was having to use a rollerwalker to get around before I started them...Now I can just take a lot of vitamins and stay mobile...these "viruses" destroy the immune system and we have to do something to restore.
Exactly...this is the same BS we've all hear. Allopathic medicine is failure.
Do you still have it?
@@TheBushRanger. yes it's stole the best years of my life. Got it after I left the Air Force was very young and super healthy. I pushed on best I could but many wasted days in bed no matter what I did or tried thru time. And believe me I pushed hard.

40 years ago fibromyalgia was a "fringe" diagnosis with lots of docs saying it was all in the patients' heads. A friend and his wife both had it after a bout of mononucleosis. IIRC it is now widely accepted but not much better understood... like long haul COVID.
Long hauler here. Before the second round of symptoms hit I was an Ironman athlete. I developed neurological dysfunction, tremors, pain, shortness of breath, and extreme muscle wellness. At one point I used a walker for 3 weeks. This all lasted for about 6 months. The only therapy that seemed to work for me was Strain/counter strain. I tried acupuncture, PT, Airrosti, pain meds, etc…just recently I’ve been able to complete 20 minutes on my bike. Don’t give up and keep grinding.
