Thank you Doctor Jenkins. You described me perfectly. I got covid in December 2022. I am sixty-six btw. Prior to getting covid I was extremely fit, walking 5 miles every day in just over an hour. I fished a lot and was in great shape. After testing negative I would come downstairs and sit down and pretty soon I would be in a deep sleep. I decided to ease myself back into walking. After three days I had chronic back and leg pain. Blood tests showed a compromised immune system and some issues with white blood cell count. I have a herniation in the L4 and L5 as well as S1 problems. I have been on crutches since then. The fatigue is ever present and small tasks such as showering take a lot out of me. My blood pressure which had always been ok got dangerously high and I am on meds to regulate it. You described the fatigue perfectly, no gas in the tank. Brain fog, flu like symptoms , sleeping problems and the rest also. I'm going to show your video to my GP. Thank you again.
Thank you for explaining in such a way it’s easy to understand.
I’m a long hauler of nearly 3 years and it’s completely changing my life, I’m unable to work and now classed as disabled, after being a normal working mum.
I don’t think I’ll ever recover but feel I could achieve a better standard/quality of life, but need drs to be able to give me the opportunity to get there.
Please keep helping us 🙏
Don't give up. What I read today was, the fatigue might be the body's immune system attempting to give the body the rest it needs.
I am sorry for your plight I am in the same boat plus lyme disease please dont tell yourself that you wont get better YESS YOU WILL GET BETTER with the right supplements and diet god bless you in your journey to health and peace this wonderful british doctor is new to me and gives hope to people like us greetings from the US I love the british!
He nailed every single point! That’s me! I mean literally every single point!
This morning I felt COLD (for the first time ever) and exhausted after a slightly larger breakfast than normal. Just some additional berries but without coffee that I always have beforehand. I'm glad he mentioned cortisol. At first, antihistamines helped me a great deal. I'm about to take a pink one for nighttime. Mitochondria control the inflammation response. I felt so much better in the sun this summer they've found red light penetrates and creates melatonin in those cells to repair them at night. I think we'll get better as they keep learning and we keep trying what works for us. Because the inflammation affects the brain, I can feel hopeless, but this often passes quickly later in the day. Mornings are more difficult perhaps related to cortisol they say get light first thing, so I use a SAD light, but sometimes I forget. The new low wattage LED bulbs are not full spectrum some of those red rays we can't see. It's a frustrating puzzle, but one worth solving!
I have MS and therefore thought I knew everything about fatigue. Then I got Covid and since then nothing works. But, brothers and sisters - post-Covid fatigue passes after all. I have learned to seize the day, even if it sometimes feels hopeless.
Would you be so kind share to share details on your routine & what was for you most effective?
Glad you are calibrating a blessed day to you gratitude
Great information thank you Dr. Jenkins
....HBOT... interesting
Thank you for this. I was fine when I had covid but the after effects were awful, it was so bizarre to explain to people. Learning the the impact having glandular fever, vitamin d deficiency and b12 was super useful, as I suffered all three for years.
My 14 year old daughter is going through this. Its heartbreaking to see this.
Long Covid does not exist, it is vaccine injury!
Nearly 4 years of torture and counting 😩
One year and counting for me
Same here. June 2020... No light in sight...
Same 4 years yesterday i had good day i wouldn't believe how much better life was and i wasted so much energy running walking and seccond day im dead don't be like me guys pls 😂im idiot rest eat fruits even if it's your good day still don't overdo let your body heal always as much possible
Your video is great
Thank you
So I get temporarily better when I take the vitamin b12. But unfortunately doesn't last.
Kindly get in touch because I am very very devasted.
Thank you so much for this video. I have severe fatigue where I can sleep upto 18 hours a day. It's completely ruined my life.. friends and family think I'm just being lazy and need to get out more which I do try and do out of frustration but then I end up bedbound again a few days later and it's a vicious cycle. I am interested in the HBOT but who do I need to speak to as my GP is not very understanding? Can you receive it on the NHS or is it private therapy?
You'll have to go private. No chance with the NHS.
Are you on a low inflammation diet? Have you tried antihistamines? They are inexpensive to try. Histamine can go throughout the body and cause an immune response.

Mine lasted over a year
This is like general fatigue on steroids.
ME/cfs (chronic fatigue syndrome) is the same as long covid or post covid. ME/cfs is only caused by another virus such as Ebstein Barr virus.
As long as the sun keeps blasting us with radiation poisoning
Girl what? What kind of tin foil hat are you talking about?
