Millions of Americans have long COVID. Many of them are no longer working

In this case, the woman had long covid before the jabs were out.

My belief is that these people watched too much msm hysteria and it affected them mentally and now their brain is controlling their bodies, creating the symptoms.

I can only tell you what my docs told me. I am unvaxxed. I got over what we assume was delta in four weeks. I didn't require hospitalization but it was rough. That was November. I ran a fever daily (100.1-102.4). I had extreme shortness of breath and muscle weakness in my limbs (according to gadgets I was hitting about 50 steps before I couldn't catch my breath) which led me to days I could either walk or talk, but not both at the same time. On the worst days, I had confusion, dizziness, and lethargy which had me pretty much incapacitated. Ran the gamut of tests, but the docs found nothing at all. Three of them began talking about it being "Long Covid" and I could expect recovery in 6-12 months.

Then it slowly started improving in April. But June (D-Day, as it happens), I was pretty much back to normal.

My wife, also unvaxxed, had it as well. Suprisingly, my teenaged son (also unvaxxedd), had none of it.

In before the first “Schlong Covid”!

Yes. This was becoming an increasing problem before the vaccine ever entered the picture. Just ask anyone who knows anyone. Not the keyboard warriors sitting around here who’s heads apparently don’t fit through doorways and just spread their conspiracy garbage.

That’s a possibility - increased sedentary behavior and social isolation may have made a COVID infection’s effects all the worse.

[Republican Wildcat]

But of course! The time travelling vaccine strikes again! The vax caused long COVID before the vax even existed!

It’s amazing you people continue to post this garbage. Grow up already.

I am curious about something. Did they do an LDH isoenzyme panel on you. At most they probably just did total LDH.

LDH isoenzyme panel can be done at Direct labs for $95 if anyone is having problems with Drs taking you seriously about anything. It is a test normally ordered by Researchers. It can tell you tissue damage is happening and what organs to look at....and yes, the LDH total can be normal but the isoform composition abnormal. this happens in cancer as an example.

Re: 24 - Good post. Thanks for calling out the low intellect conspiracy theories.

[week 71]

Thank you. I truly hope the proverbial ‘they’ - come up with a way to treat conditions that are called ‘long covid’. cheers

Yes people did get long Covid before vaccines. There are multiple suggested protocols. Here is one

Hypochondriac. People got spoiled no working and they want an excuse to not go back.

Same as CNN and Reuters. We read their original and approved propaganda so we can know what BS is coming.

[AppyPappy]

Long Covid because we have already done Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Chronic Lyme Disease.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

How many of those are vaxxed?

[dennisw]

Probably lots of these long haulers are also suffering from vaxxes and boosters they received.
