Root cause of long COVID found, study says

National Jewish Health says it has to do with the energy system and mitochondria.

Being vaxed doesnt decrease long covid. I was double vaxed and have had long covid for 7 months now. I have also seen lots of cases of people being vaccinated and being sick longterm

[juanochoa]

This is probably a piece of the puzzle but not the whole thing. There’s many more symptoms than brain fog and tiredness.

[richardbriseno]

Doesn’t explain how some days patients can feel almost normal and other days deadly sick if mitochondria are dysfunctional

3 vaxes and got vaccine injury from the first 2 shots, waited a year and got the 1st booster. Even worse reaction. Then a year later got COVID. In my case, the vaccines weakened me so much that COVID really took the stuffings out of my adrenals. Technically I’ve only been a Long Hauler for 8 months, but functionally I’ve been dealing with it for 3 years.

For the vast majority of people the vaccines were very helpful. I’m just one of a small group for whom they did more harm than good.

Why would you not include a reference to the study so people can read more about it? 😤

I had long covid the first time I had it. It lasted 4 months or so. I would relapse in symptoms every time I worked out or didnt rest. It went away when I just said fuck it and was a sack of potatoes for a few weeks and I recovered fine. The second time, i had symptoms for 15 days but again i was trying to workout when i started feeling good. It also went away after I was a sack of potatoes for a for weeks.

Please keep trying to help us!

I got covid 3/2020 and have not recovered. I was 60 yrs at the time and in great condition and very healthy. 5'9" 120lbs. Working full time at a great job.
I can no longer work. I go from bed to couch. I know what it feels like to die a slow death. Got the 2 Pfizer shots in spring of 2021, felt better for a few months, but it faded.

Seems there may be multiple reasons for LC.
I follow several Doctors from around the world on you tube that have LC and some can no longer work, so they spend their days trying to figure it out. I try all the protocols along with them.
So far, I feel my LC is mast cell related, so I have been working on that. Antihistamines have helped the most. I trudge on...


Best wishes for all the unlucky ones that continue to suffer.

There was already a theory on the mitochondria months ago, research needs to be communicated better globally it’s making advancements happen slowly.

Wow I am totally blown away!! Scientists have found that a car with a broken engine cannot start. I am speechless.

"you are the specialist of your own body"

haha, ye... alittle late for that. also i tought they were the experts? but now that it went sour WE arethe experts after said TRUST US!?

[JagHiroshi]

Lots of commonality between long covid sufferers. Mitochondrial disfunction doesn't explain microclotting or why anti autoimmune therapies like BC007 have had such a dramatic impact. Very unlikely this is the root cause and more than likely a secondary.

They published this data back in Oct 2021 (first Author: de Boer)

As I write this, I'm 26 days into Covid. I've had all shots. 2 full and 2 boosters. My wife had it also, although she has fully recovered.
I still have the cough and fatigue, but no brain fog. I'm a fairly active 62 year old and I usually walk about 4 miles per day.
I have to say, it's been tough getting through this. My wife and I were really sick for about the first 5 days. And that's with ALL the shots.
I can only imagine what it would have been like WITHOUT the vaccines. Don't let your guard down, people, Covid is still out there and it sucks!

If you’re really interested as I have been in trying to get over this look into antihistamines. I’ve been doing that for just seven days and today is the first day I noticed a slight bit of difference though it can take a couple of weeks. I’m grateful to not have the debilitating weariness and extreme pain in my knees and legs that I’ve had since April. (look forward to getting rid of the noise in my ears… Peripheral neuropathy…… Trouble sleeping…… High pulse rate and messed up BP in general.
There are several videos about anti-histamines. There’s also information on the web.)

This is, in no way shape or form, elucidative of the "root cause" of long covid.

[bkinouye]

I feared Long COVID much more than I feared COVID. That's the only reason I got vaccinated.

[hustlemami]

If youre lackong energy then take pqq supplement for fatigue. I need help with itchy skin on my hands as a result of long covid please

[mikeysavage]

Not true every person I know and work with who has the vaccine, got "LONG" COVID. coughing and being short of breathe and especially brain fog. But me and other non vaccinated did not have anything like that. This is my own experience.

[ironyelegy]

makes a lot of sense, this is encouraging data.

their blood is rotten. their bones are sour. soon our time will come to rule the world.
