*I GOT COVID 3RD WEEK JAN 2020* very early, I live next to a port in Bulgaria. COVID was bad, not hospitalising. I recovered and went back to life - but the more "life" I did the worse I got I tried to fight it and every time I fought it I got worse, until I was walking one step at a time with a stick. Unable to comprehend basic subjects and concepts. Stress is the worst for me, I cant DO basic things like revenue a passport and the stress of not being able to do it makes me extremely ill. I now have a fear of doing things that will make me ill and the fear itself makes me ill...

If you have not considered it, I suggest you investigate TCM and if you can find one, a good Qigong practitioner. All the best.

Well, not too dire. It certainly seems like you'd be able to help others in the same boat with your insight. What a blessing.

"half a fucking year of this" - I can hear the frustration.

Reading the comments here seems to me this is something that seems to happen to highly intelligent people or do stupid people get it too ?

God, Vlad you give us an exquisite gem like description of the first dreadful moment. I don’t know how to handle that. ❤❤❤

Don't stress about the world. Keep focusing on your health. I sent a little donation to you. Hope you start to feel a bit better.

Damn 🌹💔

That video is not exactly what most influencers post on there status. It does not change my intellectual fantasy that I'll meet you in London coffee shop and we'll have a lively chat and we'll both feel so delighted by the encounter that we'll hug and hope serendipity happens again. I'm glad that you post videos that show your passion for people and the world. ❤ Get well 🙏🏻 and keep up the good fight.

Vlad .....admit yourself to hospital. Your "normal " does not mean you have to suffer on your own. My ❤️ goes out to you. "Slainte" = a wsh for good health in gaelic from Ireland 🇮🇪

Vlad, your strength is inspiring. as @marijo1951 said, it really makes your videos more extraordinary, and we feel doubly appreciated that you spend those rare minutes to help us understand the world. If there is a medal for a teacher and in general, a cool human being, you've got it. I hope we are giving you the appreciation that you deserve. Stay strong! ❤

Question: how did you know that you have micro vascular damage? From symptoms? From tests?

My biggest fear with my POTS/ME would be to catch covid. I know what it’s like to be bedridden for a year and a half and to suffer with this since 2003. Best of everything to you. I know how brutal it can be.

Sending much love

Blessings!

Hi vlad, just wanted to ask how many shots you took, feel better my dude

Oh, Vlad. Seeing you suffer and struggle for air is heartbreaking... Praying for a turn for the better asap. Thank you for who you are and what you do, especially while going through this terrible ordeal. You're a very special person to be doing what you do on TH-cam while going through this. Lots of love.💛

When your body is stuck in guantamo bay mode.

Thank you for using even your tragedies to promote empathy and thought in the world! You have made the world a more beautiful place.

Quick recovery Vlad, don't give up,my love from Greece!!! Slava Ukraine!!!

Thank you for your courage. Please take care. Love from Canada.

I hope you have an oxygen generator. So terrible. 😢

So sorry you're afflicted in this manner. I hope you find the relief you need. Rest & Recover.

I'm so sorry Vlad, not being able to catch one's breath is terrifying. I hope your hospital visit is restorative! Much love and well wishes.

Can you have morphine?

Dear Vlad, I am so sorry for what you are going thru… 🥺 I hope a new medical discovery will come to heal you asap. Sending love and hugs.

:-(

Oh Vlad..Maybe going to hospital is a good idea. I am so sorry. We share such a cruel disease.

Damn... Long term illness sucks... I got twice 10days of post pneumothorax recovery with tubes and what felt like electric shocks in my ribs kind of pain sometimes. I can imagine some of your pain and am sorry it is long term shit... May you get better somehow ❤

Very hard to watch you suffer. 😢 The world needs to know how extreme this can be.

Hey Vlad, you are a hero on multiple fronts. You’re distilling political nonsense and insanity into understandable political nonsense and insanity. You are also fighting this illness, and helping people understand that it’s not just getting sick then getting better. My recent ex girlfriend was dealing with a long COVID variant, it’s debilitating and tragic. She’s an “ex” because her body, immune system couldn’t handle a relationship. Her emotional state affects her immune response. It sucks for me, I can’t imagine how much it sucks for her. I know it’s not the same as your fight, but somehow it seems similar. Don’t stop being an inspiration for so many of us, like I said earlier, you are a hero 👍 Andrew on Cape Cod

Your strength is admirable. Stay strong Vlad

Unimaginable for someone not stricken by the disease . My heartfelt sympathy. The Thumbsup is not for the "likeable" content, but for your strength, endurance and the decision to get the workd informed about these diseases. Very best wishes for a speedy improvement ❤❤❤❤

Vlad… I always think that you are so strong but to see the reality in the clip at the end, I don’t know how you aren’t outwardly an angrier or more frustrated person than you show. It’s so frustrating to me to see your health so compromised. It’s not fair that such good people in this world have the absolute worst chronic health challenges to contend with while the most despicable narcissistic sociopaths in this world run free-shod over the lives of those in the middle! I really, really do not understand the human health spectrum…

What I’m seeing is hypochondria. But don’t worry I unsubscribed. A very interesting article from Psychology Today, titled “Iodine Deficiency - An Old Epidemic Is Back”

Dear Vlad ❤

So very sorry that you are going through these health challenges that rob you of living a normal healthy life and sending 🙏🙏🙏🙏 and healing to you, please take the time needed as you move through these health challenges, we appreciate the insights and thoughts you share with us 🙏💚💚💚💚🙏

🌻🍀

So sorry Vlad🌹I've finally been given a heart scan and it's damaged my aortic coronary artery.

Thank you for your documentation of moments of life with long-term illness. Daily, daily, daily I say much the same stuff you say in this little video. The pain alone (I have a severe visceral-pain problem with my renal system) along with would put anyone without comparable pain for many years in a nearby hospital as immediately as possible. The early days of my declining years included about a dozen years with pulmonary-cardio (in that order) difficulties - with a bit of a return of heart issues in the last couple of years. That feeling you mention in the video of having your breathing forcibly restrained (while enduring awful pain and a list of other horrid symptoms) snaps my sense-memory to attention and initiated a reliving of those times washes through me and takes hold while the video finishes. Likely your symptoms are the same ones you have faced in recent months. All the same, the experience you have with this layered, restated ME with bonus regions under attack remains new enough that new trouble could arise with your recognizing them as trouble. This being so, it may be worthwhile - despite my lack of confidence in hospitals - to have a reassessment done by the hospital of your choice. I typically resist such suggestions for many good reasons. But yes, think about and probably do this hospital visit - preferably with the involvement of the specialist, just to be sure you sure you know you and your doctors are doing more or less what can be done. If this can be done equally well where you are with office visits, that works. Just keep in mind your current health is in a relatively new.

💔

so real 🙏 thank your for sharing your thoughts with us

i understand your pain man 🙏 suffering from the same curse, god bless you and i wish the best for you. Also remember this Vlad, your amazing!
