Is "Long Covid" Legit? 🤔🤧🤒😷

[WillBrink]

And if so, how do we manage/treat it? I discuss those topics using two recent studies, which have some concerning findings people need to be aware of:

It is very much a thing. I had it muscles twitching and I mean every muscle in my body at the same time. Also had an uncontrollable appetite.
My doctor that treated me in an other country went on 3 week vacation right as it hit me. It was hell.
When he got back and we talked he asked me 1 question. Do you have enough Ivermectin to take it for 2 weeks?
I did and from day one no more symptoms

Good deal that took care of it then. There's some denying it's a thing. They're wrong.

The puzzling thing is how differently it affects people. I know of nobody who had any sort of serious problems from it. But the experiences I've heard from everyone vary so much that you'd think they released 5 variations of the thing.

It is puzzling, and there are some indicators why that may be, such as the ratio of Ace/Ace II receptors in people, and that's genetically determined.

I know one person who was healthy, active, not even 50, no co morbidities, had covid once, and spent 40+ days in a coma second time he got it, and was supposed to die. His story is here:

I had a friend who had most of the serious co morbidities, should have at least had a terrible experience, and all he had was mild cold like symptoms. He did take some of the supps and such I recommended, but still, I would have expected way worse.

That's why I told people all along, not to F with this one and role the dice.

I too know of a few people who caught it where I thought they might struggle, but they shrugged it off like a cold. Then others complained about extreme lethargy. I had release version 1 and didn't miss a day of work. Version 2 was more pesky, got all of us shooters sick and hung around for over a week.

Gave me a stroke the first time - kept me stuck @ home for 2 weeks the 2nd time

Covid gave you a stroke or the jab?

Funny, saw a joke that Long Covid and fibromyalgia only affect people in English speaking countries!!!!

I will say I think so. I’ve had covid 3 times. The first two times I only really felt bad for 2 days and start to finish it was 5-7 days. The third time I never had the 2 bad days and overall it was mild. The down side was it hung around for almost 2 months. Where it really stood out was my first gym workout after I was feeling better.

Lifting wasn’t a problem. I was definitely lifting less, but after a month out of the gym, that was expected. The real oh shit moment was when I got on the treadmill. I thought I would do a light mile to shake things out a little. I do quite a bit of trail running so a mile is no big deal for me. I couldn’t make it a quarter of a mile without hitting my max heart rate and had to stop. It was over an hour after stopping that my heart rate returned to under 100bpm. My normal resting heart rate is usually between 50-55. It stayed 20-25 bpm higher for about two weeks and I was exhausted the whole time. My HRV stayed in the medium to high stress range even when sleeping. I eventually started to feel normal and get restful sleep. It’s taken me about another month to get back to being able to do an unbroken mile on the treadmill at a little under 10 min mile pace. Was it long covid? I don’t know, but something hung a boat anchor on my heart after having it.
