Amy Watson, 47, is one of those patients. She's had a fever, she said, for more than 100 days.
She was diagnosed with COVID-19 in April, about a month after her symptoms — cough, congestion and extreme fatigue — began. Now, those symptoms have evolved into weeks of low-grade fever and a burning sensation under her skin.
Watson's illness was never severe enough to warrant hospitalization. Instead, her symptoms have lurked in the background, never fully resolving
Dr. Jessica Dine, a lung doctor at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia, said she began noticing a subset of COVID-19 patients whose symptoms lingered long after their diagnoses thanks to a hospital program called COVID Watch, a texting service that does daily check-ins with COVID-19 patients at home.
If Dine and her team are able to rule out other causes, they have two hypotheses for what's going on. The first is that it's possible that the virus is still somewhere in the body, undetectable through testing. The other is that the virus is gone from the body but patients are experiencing what's referred to as post-viral inflammatory syndrome, in which the body's immune system remains "revved up" even after the virus goes away.

Probably a variant of Guillan-Barre syndrome. Seen post viral infection.
How SCIENTIFIC.
Virus triggered an autoimmune response...
Dexamethosone
Quercetin
Zinc
Vitamins A,C,D
Resveratrol
Turmeric
Omega 3 Oils
Chicory Root
B Vitamins
Medical grade probiotic
The first and last ones you MIGHT be able to get a doctor to prescribe.
The rest are over the counter and will dramatically curb systemic inflammation.
More important issue is Did the patient have any comorbidities and her age.
So the virus is gone....and she’s got something...and they’ve put blinders on because of it.
NBC. That says it all. More fear mongering and people will pick up on it quickly.
...a burning sensation....
Mexican food?
Many times I think the worst place to be is in a hospital. I do wonder how many would have survived had they not been admitted to a hospital.
How SCIENTIFIC.

Yes, how diabolically engineered.
Maybe try the HCQ + azithro/doxycycline + zinc or just the GCQ + zinc?
Thanks for the list; working on getting some of the OTC ones.
She’s 47. Why did it take a month after she started coughing to think about testing.
What they don’t say is if she has anti-bodies.
Very likely and that would support the post above mentioning Guillan-Barre syndrome. I’ve known two people over the years who had Guillan-Barre following the flu. One was in 75 after a bout of the swine flu. Too many doctors don’t seem to be able to connect dots much anymore.
More important issue is Did the patient have any comorbidities and her age.

If she has metabolic syndrome, that is a “co-morbidity” where COVID is concerned & the medical community doesn’t talk about it. The inflammation from that, combined with the cytokine storm/inflammation from COVID results in a much more severe case of the virus.
She needs to reduce inflammation overall and not just virus-caused. She probably is in an autoimmune condition at this point. An AIP (autoimmune protocol) diet, even a carnivore diet (great as an ‘elimination’ diet & reducing inflammation, for starters), would likely be helpful.
IMO, she’s going to have to “heal herself”. Do the research, try some things. Being pumped with drugs & subjected to the same old medical dogma that’s been going on for decades will not heal her & likely, make her sicker. Just my 2 cents.
I have seen a colleague die of heart attack at age 37.
And many people in their 40’s have multiple health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, atherosclerosis, etc. Those people are sadly more inclined to suffer severe symptoms from covid-19.
Quercetin I took with Zn, D3, C, and B complex
Don’t know if it helps, but seasonal allergies were much better this year
Thought about melatonin, but it knocks me on my butt
