I think its majority vax injured, and/or once people got covid and then got the vax it effected them. Sure would like to know the number of totally unvaxxed people that are saying they have long covid. I don’t think that thought is even brought up, but it should be for truth and science
The person that I know that has “Long Covid” had it before she had Covid. She was a devout mask Karen but still managed to get the Chinese Bioweapon. 25 years old. Really into drama and lethargy when she was younger. She had started gaining weight which could be RX psych drugs before Covid and has increased that.
It sounded more like Depression than Covid. I was hit by a bout of Depression after getting Swine Flu.
That is not “long wuflu” that is an active infection. Rather then writing it off as "just something you have to live with" they should be actively investigating as to what is wrong.
Is that even allowed anymore?
It seems more and more the medical establishment's response is "no treatment for you!"
DING DING DING. A new victimhood groups. Say hello to the next letter for LGTBTQIA2SBIPOCWTF. “C”
She looks as upset as Moochelle Obama holding up the “bring back our girls” hashtag
How about now? 2 1/2 years later?
“I caught something January 2020. Upper respiratory. Weeks after still weak, shortness of breath and brain-fog.”
i caught it march 2020 and was VERY ill ... it had all the hallmarks of covid, including loss of taste, but not symptomatic of flu or a cold and did not test as covid ... weirdly enough, azithromycin cured me even though blood test did not indicate a bacterial infection ...
many others i know had the same thing happen during that period ...
since then i’ve not caught covid, even though i’m totally unvaxed, have always refused to wear a mask short of being carted out by the police and have taken zero other special precautions ...
My neighbor had “long covid” But he is overweight and in poor health. He recovered after about 6 months sans vaccination. I myself got covid sans vaccination. I was down and out about 2 weeks and ironically have been feeling better then I have in a long time after recovering. Alergies went away and I breathe much better.
I am with RummyChick here - CCP virus is “real” with regards to “long Covid”.
Like another commenter here, one scientific question is whether this effect is observed for the unvaxxed too (who got CCP), and for the vaxxed (who either did/not get CCP virus). If our givernment would quit playing politics with this we might get some scientific answers.
Let me share briefly my experience w this reality. Someone very very very close to me (”patient”) was vaxxed (2 shot regimen) in early 2021. Was required by employer (health care) hospital, administrative. In Jan 2022, patient came down w full blown CCP for 1st time. 4 very difficult weeks, had to apply for FMLA because of headaches, fatigue, brain fog, memory loss. Non vaxxed took care of person (you can guess who), close contact, take to/from Dr appointments,etc. Let’s just say I did not catch CCP virus to any appreciable extent from patient. For patient, improvements seen about 3 months later, but no full recovery. To this day, still fatigued that occurs almost daily, brain fog, headaches too. Primary care physician kept saying get rest, it will work itself out, and oh by the way ... patient should get 2 booster shots when patient feels better. Patient’s condition hasn’t changed in last 4 months. One month ago primary care Dr told patient that patient was showing signs of being a hypochondriac - said psychological counseling needed. Patient disagreed, said vaxxed Dr was not listening. This week after paid out of pocket paid brain scans, initial diagnosis is that patient has physiological brain matter changes seen with long Covid.
Was it the vax that caused this? Was it the vaxxed person getting CCP virus that caused it? We can’t tell as other specialists now are scheduled. What I know is that this person has a brain injury that might not be reversible, and whether it progresses to further disability is unknown. Despite this coming from NPR, a 100% mouthpiece for the demonkkraps, maybe they are coming around to the truth. I’ll leave my criticism of them for another time.
We (patient and me) are personally dealing with something that has been life altering, and the question will it get even worse, be permanently disabling and/or life shortening. Prayers to all that suffer this.
I don't believe that "long COVID" refers to lingering effects due to damage long after the body fights off the COVID-19 virus.
I think, in hindsight, "long COVID" has been found to be highly correlated with glutathione deficiency in the elderly. The lack of glutathione allowed COVID-19 to cause oxidative stress, which the body normally fights off with glutathione. With glutathione deficiency, the free radical super-oxidants will combine into hydrogen peroxide (which glutathione also breaks down into oxygen and water) and begin to attack the organs.
The supplement NAC will keep glutathione levels high, avoid glutathione deficiency, and help fight off the worst effects of COVID-19.

See my post number 49 for a different point of view.
Pure BS. Another gimmick. I bet she got the four shot regimen.
Maybe she did get the injury from the 4 shot regimen.
Maybe the injury can manifest itself after just 2 shots.
Maybe the injury can occur with the shot then subsequently being identified (nose swab) as having CCP virus.
If you do read through the entire thread you’ll see other FRIends who say there is something for this story despite coming from NPR - an embedded, givernment funded demonkkrap operation.
It’s like lupus or fibromyalgia. No way to diagnose except by the self reporting of symptoms. I have seen people with chronic pain and fibromyalgia and others who said they had lupus. It always seemed they were able bodied. I think these are the illnesses that hypochondriacs end up being diagnosed with. Long Covid is the latest and there are people who welcome the diagnosis because they were so worried about Covid in the first place and long Covid is validation of their concern. I would then wonder about the medical histories of the patients, like how many of them had previously to 2019 reported symptoms of fibromyalgia.
I’m unvaccinated and caught Omicron AB two months ago. The sick part was over in just a week or so, but I still have short wind, struggle with more than three floors of stairs. Racing heartbeat after any exertion. I sleep a lot more, too.I also work from home, and can pretty much set my own schedule, but I don’t think I could handle things if I had an office job.
@ 55 thanks for the information. Based on some posts - Seems there is anecdotal evidence that I need to consider. Hope these long effects can be treated or simply disappear over time. cheers
Back in 2020, I read an article about a college cross country runner, then age 20, who got COVID that summer. She was basically an elite athlete in her group, at the top of her game, with her youth helping her to recover quickly from her meets. Months later, after first contracting COVID, she could still barely walk across the room. So yes, I believe it’s real.
I have a cousin who caught one of the original strains in the summer or fall of 2020, along with her two sons. There were the flu-like symptoms, the coughing and the loss of taste and smell. She recovered from it relatively quickly, but when I saw her, along with my uncle and aunt for New Years 2021, she said she still had an occasional lingering cough.
Long covid is a real problem. About 50% of people who go to the hospital for covid have symptoms from weeks to month to years afterwards.
10% or more of people who get covid but don’t go to the hospital get long covid.
The symptoms can be very mild—like lost of taste...to totally debilitating.
Your story is why the LDH isoenzyme test can be helpful...because even if all the other first round tests are showing nothing you can use the LDH test to say Look here..you may not understand this test but some brilliant scientist developed it and it is telling you there is a problem...thus you get past the hypochondriac BS.
Not saying it would have worked in your case. It’s just a tool to use.
Start looking at the articles that are studying the VAGUS nerve for Long Haul Covid. It might give you a clue as to something to try that might help.
Good Luck...and feel good that you ignored the professional and went with what you believe to be true..even if you had to pay out of your own pocket.
also there is a blood test that can be useful for white matter issues..Glutaryl-C5:DC
You might ask if it would be helpful to get her baseline of this test and then you can keep an eye on changes. It is typically ordered to look for glutaric aciduria.
I predict you will have to continue to fight tooth and nail to get testing.
