    I think it is an autoimmune disorder, leving debri in cells. I have long covid 1.5 years. Now mild rightside weakness What has helped me is cold ease every other month. Pepto and benadryl every 3 nights. B and c vitamins. Potassium foods. I mow lawns 5 miles a day. Doing better. Good luck everyone

    Please inform your patients not to take the antibiotic Ciproflaxin or floroquinones. I am recovering very slowly from Cioro toxicity and a lot of the symptoms of long covid have similarities to Ciproflaxin poisoning. I am terrified of adding covid infection to the nightmare I am already living through. Never ever take this antibiotic. On top of brain fog, visual disturbances, arthritis, hair loss, fatigue, aches and pains, insomnia, memory impairment, and to top it off, muscle and tendon ruptures. Just a warning for everyone listening to this podcast.

    Thanks for your info. 2 years this March. I have had so many symptoms. My chest discomfort, rib, and chest pain/tightness have been worst. However, just now getting neuralgia again in fingers, lower legs, and feet. Myalgias and just chronic pain that goes along with fatigue. Flaring worse with female cycle.

    As a veteran nurse, in critical care and later a wellness cardiac and pulmonary rehab. Nurse specialist, I found this really informative in relatively short and free video on YT.
    This disease is quite a nasty one. This presentation was really well done IMO. Not only for me as a health professional but also I think not too technical or complicated for most educated lay people. Well done!

      I have this too. I feel like I'm vibrating. It is hard to discribe that jumpy feeling yet the feeling of muscle fatigue at the same time. It is very distressing. I find that if I overdo physical activity, that is when my symptoms return with a vengeance.

      @@shaft657 yes I am. I watched a lot of Jez Medinger RUN/DMC Videos. He advised that I rest with a vengeance and then slowly try to do things during the day in between more resting. I literally layed in bed or on a cot mattress on the floor for 6 weeks. I was able to walk to the bathroom. I started slow and prayed and things got better slowly. Now I rest a few times a day but can do a limited amount of dishes microwave myself food. I still get tired but now I do not have the terrible tremors or the 7 to 10 day relapses 3 times per month. I never never never want to be that sick again. I still am pretty mentally challenged by the end of the day. I say 'what?' A lot in the evenings becuz my brain has difficulty deciphering what people are saying. So it's bedtime when confusion sets in. :):):) thx for checking and wondering how I am doing. It takes so much time and patience I'm so happy I am on the other side of this all. Bless You

      Yes & no. My lower back pain is ongoing for 14 months post second Pfizer jab. Very difficult. Worried it may be symptom of other diseases such as ovarian cancer. Am thinking to get an xray to be sure spine's ok. Then engage in a few acupuncture apts targeting the lower back.

    Covid destroyed my GI tract. Chest pain severe still 3 years later. Now I have small fiber nerve pain that is debilitating. Especially around my lower rib cage. Feels like being tasered and a heart attack 24 seven. Tests don't show anything to explain it. I don't have a life anymore. I'm looking for a specialist in long covid. Or to participate in a study. Support group.. anything! Also have had total insomnia the whole 3 years. Getting VERY tired of being dismissed or told it's stress or all in my head! So glad to see this. I'm in Austin. Do you know who's out there to help, anyone?

      i’m in the same 3-year boat, except that my chest pain is gone this year. i’m sorry that you’re still so sick. have you tried any of the “covid centers of excellence” like mt sinai in nyc to see if they’ll see you by phone or computer? i think i remember that the one in chicago will see you that way, instead of traveling.

    Among few other symptoms of long covid, 2 and half years after having covid and 1 year and some after 2nd Phizer dose (which landed me in hospital for 10 days for pericarditis), I still get these vibration-like shakes throughout the body, besides having many symptoms of long covid. Whole life is sort of upside down. And now Boston University is working on new "improved" virus, Omicron-S, which is 80 times more deadly dan original virus.
