    Most doctors, when they don't understand something, say "it's just in your head". Instead of admitting that they don't know, they inflict additional pain on sick people.

      I know how meaningful it is to be told that they don't know, but willing to listen and listen and listen and document and document and research and research and research and listen. Too infrequent. There is so very much to our bodies and medical staff can't know it all, but to acknowledge someone can be comforting. What was described here is just some of the things that Fibromyalgia throws at you. You can look fine when you're not fine. My heart goes out to everyone everywhere.

      Not just in the USA. Over a period of 4 years I consulted 17 doctors in 3 European countries before an illness was correctly diagnosed. 12 doctors told me to "think positive", 4 said they didn't know. The last doctor I saw had had the illness himself and could diagnose it. I was unable to work for almost two years, got bankrupted and was left with permanent physiologial damage.

    I totally relate to this story. I’ve been dealing with “Long COVID” for about 9 months now. It caused Fibromyalgia and I hurt all day every day. Life is totally different now. I can’t do the things I used to enjoy and it’s very very upsetting and frustrating. I’m 40 and most days I feel like I’m 80. On top of it all I think the worst is the short term memory loss issue. It’s been getting worse. I sometimes forget what I’m saying as I’m talking. And yes the only ones that seem to understand are those of us dealing with it ourselves

      Wow, I glad I stumbled onto this 60 minutes video and all these responses. I had covid a year ago now. I was in the hospital for almost 5 weeks. I was intubated for 7 days of that 5 weeks in the hospital. The nurses were telling me I was going to die. I didn't thanks to many, many prayers. Jesus heard those prayers and brought me through. But....I'm having long term affects, aside from the "normal" things like memory loss, and forgetting words, I have developed high cholesterol and I'm pre diabetic. I'm now on thyroid meds for hypothyroidism. I had none of these problems before I got sick. Prayers to all of you that are suffering post covid. Hang in there!

      "COVID" is communism hiding behind a fake medical issue. All this for a virus with a 99.5% or greater survival rate. A virus so bad that most people have to be tested to find out if they have it! You’re right it’s about control, and also a big distraction over all of the other BS going on.

I went from being able to hike 12 miles with 80 pounds on my back to basically not being able to walk to the front of my lane then the Covid came over along. I got over it, but it left me with information of my lungs, and either a bronchitis or a COPD type condition oh Lord every day, I pray that this will leave my body and I will at least be able to live a normal life. I’m in my sixes now time is getting short.

    I feel as if I’m dying a slow death. There is something very very wrong with me. I’m fairly certain I had Covid at the beginning of the pandemic when testing wasn’t available. I was evaluated at urgent care and told that I “have a virus”. Since that visit, I’ve developed an autoimmune disease, elevated platelets, vertigo, hypertension, extreme fatigue, severe depression and more. Before this, I was an active, happy person. I’m currently able to work one to two days a week but can’t function for days afterwards. My quality of life is poor. I’m in the absolute worst physical and mental shape of my life. I’m not a complainer so I try my best to function without complaining. I just desperately want to feel better

      the one place that listened to me was Mayo clinic with chronic pain. They have a 4 week long program where you go through it with other people in chronic pain conditions. You get validated, taken care of, and taught how to deal with the pain symptoms in ways that arent "take a pill". They have the most research done on pain in the world and address it in some really diverse ways. See if you can get yourself into the program, it seriously changed my outlook on life.

      I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 1987 when I was 26 years old. So many doctors put me in the too hard basket. I am now 60 and it still affects me in so many ways. It is also a post viral syndrome. I would suggest the medical profession expand their views on how to understand, diagnose and treat post viral syndromes.

    I'm an American living in Malaysia. I just recently (2 months ago) had Covid and the symptoms described in this video are what I am experiencing now. I was feeling numb hands, dizziness so I feel faint, swollen sore knees (so I can't squat to use our squat toilet or kneel for praying). I also felt tired and weak. So, I started intermittent fasting, taking B vitamins, cut down on sugar, and started eating salads for supper with live active-cultured yogurt to improve gut health. This caused me to drop some weight and I started doing 15 min calisthenic workouts. I take it easy and do what I can on workouts and walk 20-30 min every day. I've gotten stronger and the hand numbness is gone. Still, I do feel like my heart rate is abnormally high and my head sometimes feels as if I have mini strokes or imbalance. . Hard to explain...it's like something is crawling inside my skull. It's why I do low impact workouts. I'm 60 and my parents & grandparents lived long lives 90s or above 100. As a stock broker I anticipated living into my 90s so I focused on saving money to last. Now I think I won't live so long with this feeling of mini strokes so I think I should spend my retirement savings. I know we never know when we will die but these long haul symptoms make the possibility of death, sooner than later, feel real. So sad that the doctor passed away. 🙏

      Ian, I've been there and I know exactly how you feel. For some reason It was worse during night time, after I had dinner. It took me about 4-5 months to fully recover. My advice to anyone going through this is to rest as much as you can. Take small steps, literally, don't work yourself out too much. Combine that with a good diet, meaning no salt or sugar, consume food that's good for your heart and lungs. Avoid eating seafood and pork. Also I found it supper helpful taking supplements and vitamins such as Omega 3, probiotics, vitamins C and D. Don't underestimate the power of your mind, stay positive and trust you'll get better. If you can, take short walks under the sun, doing breathing exercises, I did this every day from 10-15 minutes and I'm happy to report I'm back to 100%. Good luck and take care of yourself.

I come back to work to find my so called friend/co-worker absolutely hates me now. She texted me everyday with 20 questions about covid /gathering info and wanting to know my symptoms so she knows what to expect IF she gets it. On the 4th day I collapsed on the ground. I got instantly hot/dizzy and a sharp pain traveled up my thigh that was so painful - I passed out on the living room floor. I gently asked her to give me sometime to get better and stop texting me. I didn't feel well enough to have to answer her daily questions. I can't believe her she hates my guts now. No compassion. I'm still dealing with stuff and hope to God it's not a long hauler situation.

      @@blacksunshine5758 I've been there and I know exactly how you feel. For some reason It was worse during night time, after I had dinner. It took me about 4-5 months to fully recover. My advice to anyone going through this is to rest as much as you can. Take small steps, literally, don't work yourself out too much. Combine that with a good diet, meaning no salt or sugar, consume food that's good for your heart and lungs. Avoid eating seafood and pork. Also I found it supper helpful taking supplements and vitamins such as Omega 3, probiotics, vitamins C and D. Don't underestimate the power of your mind, stay positive and trust you'll get better. If you can, take short walks under the sun, doing breathing exercises, I did this every day from 10-15 minutes and I'm happy to report I'm back to 100%. Good luck and take care of yourself.

      That has been known about since 2019. Most Doctors in the USA are clueless, and lost. The virus targets the Endothelium leading to apoptosis of the cells. This raises Angiotensin II levels and reduces Angiotensin-(1-7). That leads to more damage to the Endothelium. The destroyed Endothelium allows von Willebrand factor to spill into the blood causing clotting. The virus also targets red blood cells using CD147 as opposed to ACE2. The virus should bind to the 1-beta chain of hemoglobin dislodging the iron used to carry O2. This causes hypoxia(lack of oxygen in the blood) in addition to the blood clots that lodge in the capillaries in the alveoli of the lung. If the red blood cells begin to rupture(lysis of erythrocytes), the free heme then binds to von Willebrand factor, preventing it's breakdown. The iron is also a factor. The resulting clotting cascade can be so severe that anti-clotting drugs don't work and the heart explodes due to the blood turning hard. It is doing the opposite of Ebola that prevents clotting.
      Also viral bound Porphyrin could be infecting cells without ACE2 or CDE147 receptors. The virus is also targeting T-cells like HIV. They need to look at CoViD-19 AIDS, as half of those without symptoms have a suppressed immune system and are being eaten alive by the virus. The immune system causes people to feel sick, so not having symptoms can be due to having AIDS. This virus has inserts from Measles, Mumps, HIV-1, SARS, MERS, and rabbis. It does seem to usually need a high initial exposure dose in most people to get a fatal case, but many will never fully recover.

I cannot run, my heart races and pounds when I lift heavy things or go from crouching to standing. I still get chest pain,chest pressure, severe numbness in my limbs, random angry red rashes on my hands, searing sharp pain that spreads in my thighs and the back of my head, and the brain fog. There is no support for people like me. I wish we could go to a clinic like this one and have some help to get better. I’ve lost my main job because of this and there’s zero support in NZ.

Medicine and science should not be dismissing people with such symptoms and conditions, it should be listening to them and working with them.

      @@lindyashford7744 That's not entirely accurate. Not all anxiety sufferers have these dramatic "panic attack" events. I myself have had GAD for years and have only had 2, one of which was a reaction to medication. Anxiety can also cause some persistent physical symptoms--headache, fatigue, general pain, dizziness, rapid heartrate, etc. And they don't just hit and go, they'll stick around for a while. Might leave you desperately trying to find ways to relax just to feel normal-ish again. Sometimes events that feel like emergencies or symptoms that seem like chronic illness really can be anxiety.

    • @lindyashford7744
      @lindyashford7744 Před 3 lety

      @@TsukiNaito1, I agree with you in one respect, but the point is that patients are getting told they are having panic attacks, not that they are anxious. Anxiety conditions are ongoing but what is being described by people is not the same. They HAVE a condition they know is physical, they go to find out why they are unwell and their condition is dismissed on the basis of being a panic attack. Even when they are not anxious but are feeling unwell. It is tantamount to saying you are a hypochondriac, and is a kind of put down. I was told this on presenting with breathing difficulties after what could have been a brain event. I was told it was a panic attack, then later when symptoms continued I was given a fibro diagnosis, even without the signs that normally fall into the fibro category. Nearly a decade later I was diagnosed with Atypical Parkinsons and actually I DO have an old infarct that could have been a brain bleed or similar. The default position is to shove you into a box that says MH issues. I had a friend with MS who often got treated like this too, she regularly had to undergo resuscitation due to eosaphageal spasm, and emergency room doctors don’t do resus for nothing. Yet doctors would happily discuss her MS as a ‘functional disorder’ which is medical code for ‘all in the mind’. I feel for you in your suffering from GAD, I know others with it and worked for a while with people who had acute anxiety, but what I and others are describing is different. It is beyond bad to be treated as if you have a behavioural disorder when you are finding that you cannot put one foot in front of another and your quality of life is plummeting. Hopefully now they will start to recognise that they do not have explanations for everything yet, and far from being at the peak of medical understanding there is still a long way to go.

I couldn't make sense of it. Now I'm just resigned to it. My energy is 30% and this hasn't changed for almost a decade. It's depressing and so many people don't believe me. I've lost family and friends. I lost my job,family,house and now I'm off sick. It's driven me crazy at times. I hate it. I was 37 when my life ended.. not even middle aged. It's the only illness / condition / disease where doctors just give up on you. I think it's actually brain damage from a major cytokine storm..from virus and multiple stressers. Very scary.

    This is not new with viruses. Years ago I caught Tasmanian flu in the UK from a work colleague. 1 by 1 we all caught it from him in our small, poorly ventilated, team office.
    Most had coughs & shortness of breath for some weeks & months after, including me. Mine continued for 18 months+. I ended up having tests on my heart rate. 1st test normal, 2nd test picked up a missed heartbeat. Years later & I still couldn't do the workouts at all that I once did 3-4 times a week. I still live in hope that I will be able to do them again albeit gentler & no strain on my heart. I'm not old.

Also when I drink water all the sudden I have to blow my nose like crazy and a lot of stuff comes out.
