I really need to stress what doctors are saying- we do not have a biological basis for Long COVID. Hopefully we can find out more
I've had it 8months. I want to sleep all the time, very weak. I have 3 children I can't look after. My eldest child has to cook. My relationship with my partner is strained. He accuses me of making it up ☹️ My children get upset with me because I can't do much with them. I worry I will die all the time I feel close to death. I'm going to try get oxygen from my doctor. I had no jab and was too scared to go to the hospital when I caught it and couldn't breathe because I kept hearing that the ventilators were killing people. My lungs are damaged and I'm waiting for an ecg. Sending love to everyone and I hope we all get better soon 😞💗💓
Why don’t you get a job from home. There are so many currently available.
2 years in Long Covid.
PoTS, MCaS, BP issues, brainfog, extreme joint pain, extreme fatigue, sleep problems, blurry vision. 0 improvement and feel suicidal every fckin day…
WE HAVE MEDICAL BILLS FROM THIS, BUT NO COMPENSATION! I GOT THE VACCINE. DID WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. BUT NO HELP AT ALL!
Good grief, what a bunch of weaklings. Never had the 💉💉💉, never had c o v i d. I take responsibility for my own health & well-being, and as a result, i don't have these kinds of problems. To the victors, goes the spoils 💪
8:53 THIS.
I’m so happy I can function normally. I feel so bad for this with serious long covid.
Since I had covid, I overheat easily and all the time. And it’s not like, oh it’s a little toasty, it’s like I want to rip my clothes off I immediately break out in a sweat.
And I’ve gotten seriously sick tons of time afterwards, almost like my immune system is stripped away.
And suddenly, I can’t eat certain things.
Edit: oh ya and my allergies are out of control. I kinda grew out of them, and suddenly they’re back. So strange
I got all long covid symptoms after getting the vaccine. Heart palps, can't stay asleep longer than 4 hours, brain fog. All started after I took the vaccine.
6:42 lmao you can't even get disability if you're missing a leg. The government makes sure to only to give to people over 65. the whole system is fk'd
The government sacrificed everyone to keep the money flowing for businesses. DISGUSTING.
EVERYONE sounds sick. Listen to them talk. Stuffed up nasally speech. Even the reporter in this video. The government is hiding the fact everyone will not be feeling better ever again, it would cause mass panic.
It’s hilarious how everyone is worried about post COVID. After my car accident (almost died), was in the hospital for days, my life was never the same. My car accident happened two years before COVID happened and no one cared about me and my condition. All of these COVID haulers are so lucky to have the support that they have. People still don’t care about me and my condition even 5 years. Dealing with chronic pain is harder than anything any COVID hauler is dealing with. Think of all the people who deal with conditions wayyyyyy before COVID. Welcome to the club. (I talk to people who have chronic illnesses and we talk about this all the time). Literally, welcome to the club. This is nothing new for us. We have been dealing with this longer than you have. 🙌🏼 I got denied disability as well. I was a weight lifter, healthy, no I’ll esa before. I miss my healthy me. I lost my nursing career job after my car accident. And mind you, I graduated 4 months before my car accident which is so sad. All that studying and hard work. It was gone like that. It’s the worst thing ever and no one cared. I can’t lift anything and it affects my quality of life. It is better to be a COVID hauler than a car accident survivor. There is nothing that cures and it is a disabling event from car accidents. COVID haulers, Be happy it wasn’t a car accident.
3 SSDI denials by MD who doesn't know what myositis is, only physical exam was bend over and touch you toes, take 3 steps across the room.. you are fit to work as RN. Other guy they wanted me to see was dude 2.5 hrs away who ran urgent care and medical salon…he was going to evaluate what 3 neurologists said??? Then I got Covid and was in bed 14 hrs a day so could use the bipap and oxygen and still denied. Why is it you have to have attorney to get SSDI? How much money is being wasted on multilayer obfuscation?? Then there is the medical gaslighting that goes on where if you have no fever, normal bloodwork it must be in your head OR they throw meds at you which if you took them all would give you more fatigue, liver failure and other lovely side effects.
I've had it, one of the times was after the vaccine, none of them my fault as I'm a shut-in but I lived in a household with one extremely irresponsible person.
The second time it wasn't as bad, but the first time I couldn't even eat because I ran out of breath from just sitting up and the splitting headaches made me see white spots.
Now I have temp regulating issues, my allergies got worse, every so often I run out of breath even going upstairs, joint pain is unbelievable some days, and I get more headaches than before and now they're usually in the middle of my forehead, I have more stomach problems now than before, I get phantom smells, I can't smell nor taste certain things either. And the brain fog is unbelievable. Also sleeping problems on top of the ones I already had, and all this creates depression, I can't work a regular job either because of this…
I followed the doctors' instructions every time I had it, I was a minor athlete in my youth, and barring my scoliosis I was pretty healthy. I got my vaccines, too. But since this is Mexico, long covid here is a myth, so there's no testing treatments or anything, and I have to add it to my long list of disabilities that will probably never get treated…
How many of those 9M got the jab and got Covid and had debilitating symptoms?
I have ME/CFS caused bh exposure to burn pit in Iraq. They are connecting the dots the Long Covid and ME/CFS while not the same disease present the same and have the same mechanisms in play (the difference being covid starts long covid whereas any disease, traumatic event, or random exposures can cause ME/CFS.) There are a couple theories but the one I find most prominent is that it's a nervous system disorder. I'm in the bottom quarter of patients I'm mostly housebound from the effects. This has been going on longer then covid they determined it existed in the 1960s.
Notice that it’s always women?
My long covid in the worst stages lasted about a month or two, just getting up from the couch and walking to the front door shot my heart up to 150 bpm. but then again, i was postpartum birth. I don't know if the birth made it worse or something, but I caught omicron a day after giving birth. I feel like im getting a little stronger, but I cant gain weight. When I had covid, I didn't eat at all, I lost over 40 lbs within 2 weeks. Yes, 2 weeks. And now im struggling to gain it back 10 months later at 88lbs 5'2 19 years old.
