  1. I have pots and SFN after booster.

  2. Who cares! I am Fully UnvaCCinated! Healthy and Happy!😁πŸ’ͺ😎

  3. My sister got POTS after the Covid Vax, so that can be an underlying factor.

  4. the mean grinch, who as you say is so bad, asking water from a well, christmas is just some perverse thing with probably sadistic hidden meanings anyway. mr grinch

  5. its just basic depression, its like a sitting depression, that harbors as a normal, you can spring yourself out of it, its normal after any pandemic, you have not experienced. staging it might not be a good idea, 170. but i would say humans found happiness from it 6 times before , and to think all of the most sad things could happen, but yet still intact as a person, at current day. why not enjoy it even more slow, the earth probably needs it.

  6. I've been struggling with a lot of health issues since having covid the first time back in November 2020. First thing I noticed was more fatigue then before (I have suffered with fatigue over the last 20 years but this is more intense). Then I noticed my face was more pink in general (covid seemed to attack my face the most – my sinuses felt like they were on fire). I saw a derm about my skin and was prescribed a topical for rosacea that made my face freak out (it was a vasoconstrictor med and I think my blood vessels may have already been weakened by covid). I then developed severe heat intolerance which has been going on for two years now. I have suffered with heat intolerance my whole life but it is much worse now and i have never been able to sweat so I can't exercise much unless it's very cold around me. A derm I saw wanted me to get tested for POTs and eventually I will get that checked out. It would explain a lot if that is what I have. But I'm afraid to be disregarded by doctors because that seems to happen a lot. A lot of them just think it's anxiety or depression and tell you to go on your way and see a psychiatrist instead…I hope all of us are taken more seriously in the future.

  7. Imagine pots because of πŸ’‰

  8. Well.. back go wearing my mask

  9. Curious how many of these cases are in vaccinated or unvaccinated patients?

  10. so did china do this?

  11. I think i have some odd symptoms like this after covid also – like super brain fog and super tiredness spells, I used never to sleep after work, but now some days i have to for 30 mins or something.

    I bet there are loads of undiagnosed for those people who don't go to docs much esp men

  12. Physics girl is in my prayers

  13. America turned their backs on medical advice, protested about masks, drank sanitizer and use Title 42 to blame Mexicans.

    China locked down cities and have worn masks since the bird flu in the 90s. China's strict measures led to China's low death rate.

    Covid deaths = USA 1,162,693 Mexico 333,985 UK 223,396 Canada 52,247 Australia 20,410 China 5,272 New Zealand 4,202.

    Did Covid come from Fort Detrick in the US or Wuhan in China? DO you believe Earth's worst pandemic example?

  14. They should see a chiropractor. A lot of those symptoms will lesson and/or go away with proper chiropractic adjustments.

  15. Covid came as a result of putting Donald Trump in the White House. A punishment. Had Republicans gotten rid of him at the first impeachment and installed Mike Pence it never would have happened.

    I'm a Democrat and really don't want Mike Pence in the White House. Especially now. I'm just saying this regarding Trump.

    Trump's also the reason Russia invaded Ukraine. Wherever Donald Trump goes disaster follows.

  16. They lying that’s from that jab that vaπŸ˜’ smh they need to stop

  17. Out of synch in the nervious system is due to lack of metallic nutritions, according to off the wall research. POTS can be corrected by daily light exercises and change of regiments since body would automatically demand for certain type of foods intake to maintain its common balance. POTS could be a generic deficiency but is therapeutically curable.

  18. Because there is no help they can receive. It's an illness that can't be cured or treated. It's like delirium. It just goes away on its own after time.

    There is no medicine that cures delirium.

  19. Terrible for those of us who have had lifelong Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, too. Lot of the time, for me, POTS is worse than the EDS…

  20. Hi guys…Im a guy that has this too. no one believed me that simply standing up almost feels like you are being pulled by gravity of jupiter or just walking around will pump you heart rate to 130s even if you moving slow.

  21. How many aren’t getting the help they need 😭

  22. 😣😣😣

  23. Seems like Covid (which binds to ace adrenaline receptors to enter cells) may damage receptors but the body doesn’t recognize a need to repair/replace them

  24. Now they have an excuse for the rest of their lives

  25. Thank you for the upload , very informative. Jullian, I hope you feel better soon .

  26. He has a 2 year waiting list but had no issues making time to do this video…..

  27. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘.I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. i need to know how to go about it. I need guidance on what investments to make.
