Five bucks says they won't cover it. They don't want to cover anything, they just want your money. They're mafias.

Doubtful. I was hopeful but not anymore. Long Covid is similar to ME/CFS which some people have had for decades and it gets little funding and hardly any doctors know about it. Handful of doctors in the country probably are working on researching it. Hopefully a few more now because of long Covid, but not as much as I thought would happen.

I doubt it as well. Most doctors prefer to diagnose with anxiety when they hear long covid symptoms...most medics are not interested and in denial..

@@kaistockman6443 there is increased interest, largely due to the pandemic increasing the volume of patients, now for the funding to follow. One problem is, it's not just one organ or system, it's wider and more random in what's impacted, with obviously different symptoms and causes.

They'll just treat it with prescriptions they sell

Totally agrees. How much could have been averted if One person had enacted, endorsed, encouraged masks from the very first. I believe we could have continued to work and not shut down socially, if everyone had cooperated 100%.

@@oakmaiden2133 If it had been publicly announced as soon as we knew and if we had been more selective about shutdowns, absolutely. They also mismanaged the monthly allotments, imho, by dispersing payments to people who were able to continue working during the pandemic. Imagine how much inflation could have been mitigated by simply being more discretionary about how people qualified. I knew a guy who was working full time with overtime, refusing to pay his child support and keeping all the monthly allotments including what should have gone to provide for his son (who was living with his mother that was laid off). Made me sick to watch. There are so many ways it could have been better managed if we had intelligence in the WH at the time.

@@mosheridan7016go f a tree

​​​​​@@mosheridan7016Today it is known that the vast majority of people with ME/CFS have a neurovascular disorder known as dysautonomia. ME/CFS and dysautonomia are common in long COVID. I have had dysautonomia for my whole life and developed ME/CFS starting around age 12 in the late 90s. I also developed CPTSD in response to the complex medical and complex social trauma related to intense gaslighting and medical neglect by those around me. I drove my health into the ground from decades of trying to overcome what was seen as issues with my personality, including laziness, to the point that I am now mostly house and bed-ridden. It feels like salt in the wound seeing comments like yours. I do wonder what kind of insecurities drive your judgement and the satisfaction you get from this. Please, show some self-insight and take a good look in the mirror.

​@@mosheridan7016 not exactly. Everyone with CFS has lazyitis, but not everyone with lazyitis have CFS. For example, fat people might not have chronic fatigue, but they definitely have lazyitis

A lot don't. I have severe neurocovid and MCAS, but do not suffer from ME/CFS.

@@sebastianaminoff9703 that's true, I think about half don't, but long covid is undeniably related to ME/CFS, which is also triggered by an illness.

autoimmune can be a lot of conditions that is just 2 of them i have lupus which is when the body attacks itself lucky it is more skin, not the other one organs any organs god know how im nearly 50 Seeing a lot with Fibro/POTS/MS/ME/Chronic Fatigue. ME is worse post-exercise like I am with my lupus or in the sun I feel like I'm 90 some days. Lyme is another one.

And I've been bitching because COVID badly damaged my mitral valve and I'll occasionally flood with histamine (usually after drinking). My youngest kid (she's pushing 40 now) has long COVID, fatigue, some depression, but is slowly recovering from the long COVID symptoms. Leaving her with her old friends, metabolic syndrome that's secondary to PCOS. Part of the problem is the sheer volume of damage to the circulatory system that the immune response caused, but that's only a part. The immune system was attacked by the virus first and well, roll the dice to see what else took offense or got mistargeted...

V-AIDS?

Oh my goodness, that’s awful you poor thing, Covid is not just a respiratory illness it’s a circulatory illness, so I would believe your Dr, I had epilepsy as a kid and I would be a bit confused and exhausted when I came too, and a bit foggy for a couple of days, but the exhaustion was more, and I couldn’t tell you how many seizures I had, and 2 of my cousins, and none of us lost our memories only for a short time before and after just about what we had been doing before.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I wish you love and peace while you navigate re learning yourself. ❤

Same happened to me, never had seizures my whole life, after having covid I had 2 huge seizures as well. One while driving, lost my license, then the other while in the bathroom at the emergency room

I’m currently on seizure meds because of this & wanted to ask, are you on any as well or if those 2 were the only ones that happened?

Kinda embarrassed to admit, but I'm not sure if I got COVID during the pandemic. Anyway, I've noticed that I've been getting frequent sinusitis (which I only get once a year before), so yes. I think we're in the same boat.

Mine has gotten to the point that I'm worried I'll develop chronic fatigue, everyday I'm so exhausted to the point that I feel sick

That's just ignorant---no one had ever seen this virus before, there was no suspicion about long covid until about halfway through the pandemic, to this day there is no real definition of the symptoms, every case is different. But maybe one of your crystal dragons can DM you a cure? Oh, and it's not a post-viral INFECTION---they don't even know yet what it is, may be a disruption in DNA replication that causes disruption in multiple organ system processes. But I'll let actual exerts figure it out. Not dragons.

There were no Covid tests in March 2020

I got it 2020 April 7 my brain felt like it was shutting down and inside my skin felt like it had electricity running through i still have symptoms and I’m in shape last heavy bench 335 I do 12 rounds 4 days a week workout 6 days.

Good luck from 1 long hauler to another.

We typically already have underlying conditions. We can heal thru improving qi-energy circulation, recovering energy balance- water up fire down with qigong, energy yoga.

@@dkamaruCan that cure AIDS? Because Covid destroys T cells - your immune system - just like HIV.

@AllysaMuller Sooo sorry to hear that. That's awful. 😕 But, NEVER give up!!!! Look to Jesus and read his word! I will pray for you. 💕

Plenty of people on both sides. Long covid was defined and identified in 2020 before the vaccines existed.

NO exercise sez who? I’d expect exercise to be a struggle but someone else reported discernible albeit slow improvement with consistent intense exercise (2-1/2yrs).

Yes everyone forgets it’s not just a respiratory illness, but a circulatory system illness.

@@gr8dvd says the ME/CFS community that has decades of experience before COVID with viral injuries that cause exhaustion - a condition that medicine has told them for decades was all in their head. I've seen many reports of people who got COVID, were told by their doctor to exercise, and became bedridden because of it - and lots of folks saying, "yeah, the doctors don't know what they're talking about, that happened to me," and that rest is far more important to recover, and they strongly recommended against exercise. It makes sense because if lack of oxygen due to blood vessel damage is the problem, then exercising - _which increases the NEED for oxygen_ - could starve the body of oxygen, which could inhibit healing, and even cause permanent damage, as healing is done in an anaerobic state rather than aerobic state. The thing is that exhaustion is seen as laziness instead of the injury it is - like telling someone with a broken leg they just need to walk on it more. And note that there was a study early on that showed that people who had had COVID had blood vessels that were 25% stiffer/inflexible than those who never had COVID. _And this included people who'd never had symptoms but tested positive!_ Meaning you can even get this injury without realizing it was caused by COVID. So if one day you're suddenly tired without knowing why, and the doctor tells you to do more exercise...you could end up bedridden long term like Physics Girl.

@@Sweetlyfe yep. I think of it like polio. Polio symptoms are similar to COVID symptoms - sniffles, fever, flu-like. It's the "long polio" that we think of as polio - the nerve damage. But that's not the symptoms of getting polio. Same for COVID - the real damage comes later and isn't just a continuation of the acute COVID symptoms. That's because what causes the flu-like symptoms is a different mechanism than what causes long covid. Same for polio and "long polio."

@@kikijewell2967 Thx for info. "ME/CFS community" wasn’t previously familiar, tho should be b/c have chronic fatigue (insomnia) for decades. This rang true too… "exhaustion is seen as laziness instead of the injury it is".

Obviously.

Long covid was identified in 2020 before any vaccine was developed

It's possible but could also be related to any medications you might be taking.

I can't even imagine the lacking ability to smell or taste. My nose is very sensitive like a dog's, which might be an ASD sensory issue, but I think not being able to smell even the worst odor, like an angry skunk outside my window, would cause me so much dysphoric misery.

Have you seen an ENT or a neurologist for it? It might be worth looking into.

I lost my hearing in my left eye and now I have to smell out of my ear.

I’ve had similar experiences and I was a super smeller. I always wished my sense of smell can decrease a bit. But like you mentioned, I smell all the foul smells. Even if it’s something nice, I smell only the bad parts. Have had Long Haul COVID since October 2021. In addition I have been experiencing heart palpitations, high sensitivities/allergies to nearly everything, chronic fatigue, dizziness, and brain fog. Everything I already had has been amplified, like migraines and sinus issues. But, the cognitive issues are the worst. I have actual pain in my head when trying to add numbers. It’s exhausting.

This is very encouraging.

Get off the SSRIs; you probably do not need it if you've never had depression, and the long-term side affects from that is even worse if you consider yourself a sexual person (it kills the libido drive IIRC).

Not! 4 years later. Shots weren't out but wouldn't have gotten it anyways.

Loss of taste is literal brain damage. Covid inflammation harms the olfactory system. I'd link a study but KZfaq wont let me. Google it though.

Another posted this (looks promising as approved in Europe)… IncellDX’s 14 cytokine profile blood test, differentiates diagnosis between several chronic fatigue syndromes including acute covid, long covid, ME/CFS, fibroneuralgia and Lyme’s Disease.

The new definition states that it effects multiple symptoms. Not to downplay asthma- had outgrown it pre Covid and it came back- just hoping to answer your question.

I'd say more the anti-vaxxers.

yup. i've been disabled since 2016 bc my body responds this way to colds. but no colds since then, masking up since that year already. 👍

I feel like this was something Sis has experienced since she was a kid and never got over. She's 41 and we STILL haven't figured out why she's so damn tired all the time despite tryna sleep enough hours...

Covid does a lot. It destroys T cells- like HIV. It destroys epithelial cells- they are the cells that line your blood vessels. It can pass the blood/brain barrier- losing your senses like smell/taste is literal brain damage. It isn't "just from being sick". It actively destroys every major organ. I could list research literature, but KZfaq won't let me. Have your husband look up the studies.

I also am a physician and developed a cold in September. Tested (negative) on day three hoping for a positive to be able to skip fall booster. Cold slowly went away but not really but was chilled to the bone for 3 months. 24/7. Could not stay warm. Severe fatigue. Kept usual exercise up but not myself. Even canceled a ski trip. Brain fog horrible in last part of it. Thought I would have to retire because of the brain fog. We ran every test known and I was perfect on paper. Stayed in bed most of Christmas. Suddenly, after >3 months, it all went away. Totally gone. Went skiing in Alps in February and in Breckenridge in March. I’m eternally grateful but think it will take us years, if ever, to understand this, much less successfully treat it.

@@michaelplunkett5124 wow, that’s really scary! This was around last Christmas? Glad you are not only better- but well enough to hit the slopes! Let me give u a bit of- let’s call it informed consent- about these vaccines. I’m an RN and I work psych/detox for a non profit that has units all over the state. Since the very first vax I witnessed many people have strokes and weird benign tumors within a few months. My husband is a radiologist, he lost a close friend to literally a sudden death heart attack. My husband has seen crap on films like never before, and has said he’s never ever goi to take any other vaccine again. BTW my husband’s friend was in his 40’s and ironically had a full cardiac work up the year before. After boosters I saw young patients again and again with serious depression- it was consistently in 5-6 cases- post stroke and ev one of them had been vaxxed and boosted. I have personally known many people who had serious effects within an HOUR of the vax and not 1 was reported!!!!!! My nurse friend stroked out and was in ICU! My aunts heart stopped! My aunt has a pacemaker because she fortunately hit the ground still at the clinic. I’ve got a sister and another close friend with same f ing cancer that were diagnosed last fall within 3 weeks of eachother! Turbo breast cancers and it’s bad. My friend has been diagnosed and had 3 cancers removed since the first booster. I was there for the breast, and then a couple months later I took her to get a big melanoma that had grown fast on her leg removed. What do these people all have in common? And that’s the tip of the iceberg. A good friend of 20 years is a biomedical patent attorney for the Karalinska institute. All vaccines will be rolling out using this MRNA tech. I’m sure u have seen the studies about how they work. Because I understand the science I REFUSED any vax! Thank God! We have wonderful studies out there explaining reasons for the MRNA vax dangers. They are legitimate and life ending or altering for many people! I just give information to people. I’m the only nurse I know that gives/gets informed consent to patients anymore! Your body your choice, just know risks outweigh benefits. Plus there’s treatments for COVID.

The thing is, Covid is extremely dangerous. 10%-30% of non-hospitalized Covid cases and 50%-70% of hospitalized Covid cases develop long covid. The risk is estimated at 10%-20% even in vaccinated people. The risk of developing long covid increases substantially after every infection. By the time you have been infected ~7 times, it is statistically unlikely that you do not have long covid. The ONLY way you can protect yourself is to wear a mask respirator mask- N95 or KN95. Vaccine alone does not protect you.

Unless you lived in Wuhan, China, you did not have covid in November of 2019. You had that something else. There was an awful cold with a persistent cough that was making the rounds in fall of 2019, but it was just a cold, not insanely contagious, and not killing otherwise healthy people.

This would be amazing

My husband's sense of smell is now 100% wrecked. Mine returned, but it took many months. Sad that he can't enjoy my perfume or cooking anymore, but we always thank heavens that we're both still alive.

Yes me too, I didn’t get it until April 2023 for the first time, when I flew overseas and I wore a mask but I took it off to eat. Thankfully I had the booster’s too, so I felt rough and stayed in bed it wasn’t as bad as it could of been given I’m an asthmatic. I had been still masking and the work I do it was a requirement, I stupidly didn’t wear a mask this April and I got it off a client who had just flown, and we were in my car daily all day. It hit me a bit harder, both times I get a really tight chest and my asthma plays havoc they are the first symptoms both times and then the next day I get other symptoms as well.

@@Sweetlyfe I'm a lifelong asthmatic, and my husband's a Type 1 diabetic for 40+ yrs & just found out he has MGUS. We're still careful to wear masks even though we do get strange looks. Too afraid of another infection & the havoc it might cause.

I did the same thing you did: It was actually a difficult decision for me. I worked in an administrative department at a local hospital. Our area’s Covid infection rate had just started skyrocketing. At first I was against the shot. Then my coworker came down with Covid and I panicked! I realized that it wasn’t worth the risk since some people react very badly to Covid. It could be a death sentence. I chose to get the vaccine and then got three boosters, including the last booster I got only eight months ago. It might seem excessive to some, but this past winter, at a new job/workplace, I had a coworker come down with Covid. She was gone for six weeks. The effects of getting Covid are too great especially some of the lingering symptoms. I’m not sure if the shots have affected my health because I am aging, but it wasn’t worth the risk of reacting badly to a Covid infection as an unvaccinated person. Not an easy decision to make, but ultimately I never got sick from Covid and I never missed work. I have to work to support myself, so it was important that I stay functional.

Best a true comment.
