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

Why are you recommending GET when it's a known fact thru exercise doesn't help with post viral illnesses? 18:40

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?

Thank you. I am 9 months post Covid infection and still dealing with symptoms. I keep reminding myself that I’m better than I was in January 2024! Great presentation!

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.

What an informative video...You made my day by mentioning that most sob isn't related to fibrosis. This is my worst fear is dying with pulmonary fibrosis. Thank you Sir, Thank you much! 💖

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 get tremors inside like he mentioned 5 of his patient get. For me it's brought on when the fatigue sets in. If it goes on for too long my hands begin to tremble as well.

[tracyhourigan]

Can u send me your PASC treatment recommendations?

[miradinic]

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.
