    Wow! This is almost exactly what I’m experiencing after my Covid infection. This has been very debilitating for the past 3 weeks. I don’t feel like the same person that I was before. I am getting very nervous as to how long this will last because it’s been a very taxing on my body. I’m so happy I came across your video and to find someone else who is experiencing this as well. I’m only 6 weeks out from having the illness so I can’t imagine the struggle you have been going through all this time. I have good abs bad days but feel like the symptoms are intensifying as the days go on. I hope we both can get through these difficult times.

      Hi Cory,
      Thank you for sharing and I really hope that you begin to see some improvements.
      The road to recovery is not a straight line and can feel like a yoyo between good days and bad days which is so mentally challenging. I know what you mean about feeling like the symptoms are intensifying, I experienced this too. The most helpful advice I have been given is rest even when you are not tired.
      Wishing you a speedy recovery.

    13 months for me also I used to do a lot of parkour and rock climbing before this symptoms have been crazy but right now its mainly fatigue and tingling down my arms along with chest pain and digestive issues but compared to last year its far better its nice to see you sharing your experience i know from looking at older covid out breaks from pubmed it can take some people 3 years so i think it will just be a slow processes :)

    Cytodyn from Vancouver, WA, USA is running two FDA trials for long haulers using leronlimab, a monoclonal antibody which blocks CCR5, and it also crosses the blood/brain barrier.
    Preliminary results indicate this single injection, given once a week, is working, so there is hope for patients with long haulers.
    Leronlimab is also the best medication for COVID, but the FDA is slow walking an EUA for leronlimab. (I suspect big pharma has more influence on the FDA than Cytodyn, which only has twenty some employees. Check their website cytodyn.com.

    A long hauler for 9 months now, fatigue and headaches are the primary issues. I have tried Ivermectin and it helped but temporary. Now trying fluvoxamine and it is working. I started with 25mg for two days but could not tolerate, however after I recovered from it, I noticed and improvement, so now working my way up from 6mg. I am able to do things I never could before. Hopefully once I get ramped up to 100mg I improve even more.

      @@njoyliving Njoy, I am in the USA, but I had to ask my Doctor for the Fluvoxamine. Really just an experiment. I am having a hard time getting up to my target of 100mg, right now just up 50mg. So far not a cure but I do see an improvement in fatigue, maybe 25%. Hopefully they can find a true cure and end this problem for all of us. Good luck.

      @@bellaa5576 Hello Bella A, I will say I was better than I was prior to taking Fluvoxamine even though I could not tolerate it very long. I am still far from being cured, but I can do things I could not do before. Exercise intolerance and higher heart rate are my primary symptoms still. Headaches and brain fog are much better. I would say if you can get fluvoxamine by all means do it. If you can tolerate it for for a few weeks, it might cure you.

      Hi Ming Xu
      Thank you for your message.
      In regards to yoga being helpful in recovery, I do believe that gentle yoga, stretching and qigong as well as other light physical movement such a walking is helpful in assisting recovery.
      What I have learned from my experience is that the most important thing is to find your threshold and not to over-exert, which is what I kept doing.

    I had "my head's on crooked" where it locked in place like a broken bobble head i was at work and it hurt turning ito "my head only turns left" resolving to spastic dancing. I would have been funny but the spastic dance is a real thing and you die from it if you can't stop it. I did and I was exhausted and fell deep into the bowels of the earth for two months.. it's a hard climb out of that abyss... I know the way pretty well I go there regularly on unscheduled inconvenient excursions.

      There is also the 'I feel good...really good" symptom that sets you up to try to do something then you curl up in the fetal position and get sucked into the earth for a while again. I never want to risk that in public again.
