Long COVID patients enduring symptoms and looking for answers

Scripps News digs into life for the millions of Americans with Long COVID. Four years in, people both young and old, vaccinated and unvaccinated alike experience debilitating conditions for months or years, often after mild COVID-19 infections.
We talked with patients and experts about what their life is like and what treatment could look like for an illness with no proven cure.

    At 6:20 reporter Clayton Sandell states "one important way that doctors and researchers say consistently reduces te risk of long covid symptoms is getting vaccinated." At 18:07 Dr Topol says "there are rare cases, very rare, ultra rare cases where the vaccine is impicated in long covid.syndrome but for the most part the protection of vaccines has not been emphasized enough and all the studies now support a 40 percent or more reduction in long covid."

    Same here. None of my family wants to help me. They must have been well informed by the brainwashing professionals to be cautious and do so. I even had a brother die from this. He was the last one I could talk to because he got the same treatment. The family must think I'm faking it even though I was in the hospital for over 2 months with covid and now with long covid. I sit here now like a wounded, helpless wild animal while the rest watch me slowly get worse and possibly die from it like my brother did. The doctors and family are probably holding secrets of the longevity of my health and future life capacity. I have seen many pass away from long covid. You won't find much here on KZread, but I have talked around other places and people and was suprised to what i found. Some still think covid was a hoax who had never been sick from it. I'm guessing from all I heard and found that I have less than 3 years or less of life left before this virus completely overrides my normal living. I will either run out of funds to support myself independently, or it may be health issues related to complications of long covid.

    I got COVID in February 2020 way before vaccine was invented and I’ve had Long COVID since. I Don’t wish it on anyone. I grew up during Polio times and so many died or paralyzed before Polio vaccine was invented and I remember what a scourge that illness was and now you never think about it because a whole generation of people got vaccinated. Small pox too. No one worries about that either. The only people that I know who died of COVID died early in pandemic before shots were available. So many of my friends have been vaccinated and none hurt or sickened. I’m fully vaccinated and never had a problem with any of the shots, except sore arm. I’ll do anything I can to keep from getting that sick again. Personally I’m thankful for vaccinations. Peace and health to all of you. ❤

    Nope. So many folk accusing the Vax, and often rightly. But COVID itself can be deadly, and leave you with Long COVID if you survived it. Even without the Vax. This is very unfortunate. People have run away with the idea that everything is the Vax,s fault. It isn't. Many with Long COVID were never vaxed at all.

    Long Covid sounds like Mononucleosis.. I remember in the 80’s and 90’s parents told kids to never share drinks and careful who you kiss, mono was called the kissing disease where I grew up in the late 80’s, some kids would get it so bad they would miss an entire year of school and have to repeat that grade again. Once someone had it at school it was like dominos, 1 by 1 kids were out of school from weeks to months and some for the entire year. However with Mono you get once and u built immunity so you would no longer have to worry of catching it again.

    Consider talking to your doctor about Betaine TMG. Here’s why: 1. In a study looking it was found that the spike protein of the virus triggers a hyper inflammatory T Cell immune response via TLR4 proteins and Betaine inhibits TLR4 proteins. 2. The key cytokines associated with long Covid and severe Covid are il-6, TNF-alpha, il-18 and il-1beta. Betaine lowers all of these cytokines. 3. Severe Covid patients have low or very low testosterone that helps regulates systematic inflammation and Betaine temporarily increase circulating testosterone. 4. Betaine has anti inflammatory and anti thrombotic properties and lowers histamine levels. 5. Betaine can help lower cortisol and homocysteine levels. Cortisol can disrupt the primary immune response as it can disrupt pathogen presentation pathways in dendritic cells and suppress il-8 cytokines which in a form of TB binds to the infection and stimulates CD4 and CD8 to the site of infection. Homocysteine can cause platelet activation, damage bloods vessels causing blood clots and is linked to Alzheimer’s. Please consult with your doctor before considering and it should be taken in a gradually increasing dosage, taken with meals ie 500mg with breakfast, dinner and evening meal for 2 weeks (the dosage may need to reach up to 2 grams per day) There’s a risk of nausea and diarrhoea, over 4mg per Dst can increase cholesterol levels. It cannot be taken while pregnant and should only be considered after consulting with your doctor or medical professional. I hope this helps

    Finally!!! Finally someone who has one of my lingering symptoms. It's been 4 years! It still comes and goes every some months, it's like someone is blowing cigarette smoke half an inch fom my face. I put perfume on my nose and my brain seems to get confused.. the scent makes the smoke smell go away little by little. And it seems as if now my brain is trained, as soon as it smells perfume, the smoke stops. I used to work from home and lit inscense sticks at times. It's a no no now. It would be suicidal I start to cough and choke. Anyway. If haven't, try the perfume thing. Something strong and pleasant and don't be discouraged if it doesn't work the first time ....I tried several times and it started to work. Then again the smell comes back a month or two later...it's not a permanent solution but as you know it's better than having that sensation around.
