I felt it when one of the ladies said ‘when you are sick for one week, everyone is very supportive, but when it goes beyond that, everyone starts becoming fed up as if you have made your sickness up’!!
I can totally relate 😢 it’s terrible to be suffering and even your own family is tired of hearing about what’s happening with your illness, it is very sad and demoralizing. I am putting my trust in god 🙏🏽while dealing with the breathlessness and cough still after almost 4 weeks after my diagnosis of Covid and I am fully vaccinated. I pray for everyone’s healing and I believe god will restore it all❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽take care
@@aprilrobinson3023 may you get well very soon. God bless
This is sooooo true
I feeling the same I got long covid and I have just got it for the second time and struggling I was at hospital yesterday 6 hrs doing tests I took a month off work unpaid leave but I am supposed to go back in the 30th since I got covid again symptoms have worsened and I am worried I won’t be able to work I missing the staff customers and obviously my pay I first got covid March 2022
Nobody will be with you (for no reason) if you need to stay in hospital for a decade. Not your spouse, kids, friends... except for your parents because you carry their genes and the nurses and social workers you pay for. The real question is how not to get into a situation like that.
2yrs and 4 months after leaving hospital as an ICU Covid19 patient, I still suffer with cardiac, joint, respiratory, fatigue, chronic pain and brain fog / cognitive issues.
I wish you and me a permanent recovery and for every patient, I wanted to ask you if you had pain in the knee, thigh and foot or swelling in the leg, or anyone who has gone through that because I have been suffering since my injury, what are your symptoms
Ditto same symptoms like yours finally gave up my job.. couldn’t keep up with it anymore.. contracted the Delta variant in march 21
@@donutthekitty5762... I was back at work 7 weeks after discharge from ICU. I'm still at work, and it won't stop me.
Colby is a bio weapon sooner or later everyone will get long covid and will be good for nothing that way you listen to what they tell you and you cannot fight back you got to submit cuz you will not have the energy to do nothing
I'm the same as you but only for about year now.
I wish this wasn't the truth but it is.. I've been suffering with brain fog and forgetfulness too .. thankyou quint for bringing this up
How are you feeling now ?? Did you recover fully and get your normal life back ??
Thank you quint for sharing this. i am dealing with all these since october 2020. no doctor is telling whats wrong in my body. all reports are normal. few doctors say u r just taking it to mind. take it out. but beleive me i have become the prison in my own body. and people who are commenting bad about long covid. i wish u should never get to experience this horrible feeling of being physically,mentally disabled and nobody is believing u because u look normal. any body feeling the same lets connect.
I got covid in Feb 2022 and things have not been the same
hey you are not alone,myself suffering since april 2021 palpitation ,fatigue these are the symptoms .i feel like a 100 year body trapped in my body i am sick of being sick i am much better comparitively from last year .what about you i hope u doing little from last year just believe yourself your body will itself more power to u buddy
@@neerajkushwaha23 thank you neeraj. Now m feeling better. But chest heaviness, squeezing feeling. Shortness of breath and fatigue is there. And also dealing with high cholesterol
@@PhysicsforEngineers i only have fatigue and palpitations not that worse do one thing try intermittent fasting and dont consume dairy products strictly avoid and meat ,chicken and do yoga one more as much you fast the body will use the energy to heal itself instead of use energy to digestion and if it is possible do ice bath if it is possible it will increase the wbc and blood flow
@@neerajkushwaha23 I wish you and me a permanent recovery and for every patient, I wanted to ask you if you had pain in the knee, thigh and foot or swelling in the leg, or anyone who has gone through that because I have been suffering since my injury, what are your symptoms
Unfortunately nobody in India acknowledge long COVID as disability to work.I am unable to return to my job since 25 months.I am recovered from COVID but not from haunting symptoms...Who will voice out for the affected like me 😭😭😭 Ministry of health and family welfare of India should start collect datas of all COVID recovered patients present health condition... Please please spread a word all🙏🙏🙏
Dry cough
Long Covid is a real thing. Have been experiencing the same from last one year and No,its not in our head🙏
I changed to 8 doctors and they all were like its in my head nothing else lol,, doctors should be aware of these long covid thing
Gaslighting at its finest 😐
@@amritakohli2434 what treatment are you getting if you still suffering with it
May I ask how many vaccines have you had?
Guys try fasting 👍
Don't worry Quint, this video will gett billion views after an year for sure because now people don't want to listen harsh truths because they don't want to suffer. but these sharing of talks will definitely be helpful to most of the people who are having these (in this video) kind of symptoms, but don't worry my dear brother and sister, just chill and forget you got Covid and keep continue doing in small quantities.
been 31 months of having more than 150+ systems in every part of my body and i have been to every doctor i had access to just to hear it is all psychosomatic. and then there are those doctors that simply assume that the patient sitting infront of them is someone who is just googling stuff and getting anxious about the stuff they are reading online. imagine not being able to do anything the way you used to do and doctors just deny something such debilitating on your face.
One chest physician - his treatment actually did help me up to a point so I am not being ungrateful here - even suggested to me that possibly covid wasn't significantly different from the flu and it was the sheer anxiety about getting covid that people had which made them worse. I couldn't argue with him, found it fruitless to, but I wasn't anxious at all when I had covid. I would tell friends and acquaintances checking on me that it was mild and would go away. And I thought it had until it bit back with a vengeance three months later.
I have heard a version of "normal"/"nothing wrong with you" so many times I have stopped going to doctors. Luckily the very last one suggested lifestyle changes and cognitive exercises. That whole experiment has come at a financial cost because I had to leave my job but it's been worth it...so far. Probably. I really don't know that it won't relapse but I do know that I can finally jog and run up stairs, both things that looked like a distant dream only three months back.
Totally relate! Do a video so we can see how you’re going. Those who have Long Covid are probably the only ones who really understand what is happening with this illness!
Lost my hair, sweat like I'm in a suna. Breathlessness, palpitations. You name it I have it. sometimes my Sats drop really low. Dizziness I have. Blurry vision. Weight changing. I retain fluid in my body. Sometimes my skin hurts to touch. It is horrible and my sleep is off at night. And sometimes I can't stay awake it like I've been drugged. But since I have started kelation Treatment and allergy medicine my symptoms are less
How many vaccines have you had may I ask?
I wish you and me a permanent recovery and for every patient, I wanted to ask you if you had pain in the knee, thigh and foot or swelling in the leg, or anyone who has gone through that because I have been suffering since my injury, what are your symptoms
Serious illness which needs a lot more attention from the govta, medical institutions and researchers all over the world.
Sad to see a lot of lives getting destroyed with this crap yet it still being unrecognized at a wider scale.
Great story, thanks for sharing.
I hope all those suffering will recover soon. Hang in tight and good luck
Thanks for making this video. Clarifies alot.
I live in southern us. Used to be heat tolerant but heat gives me stomach cramps extreme sweating, diarrhea. This is in addition to all the other symptoms. I had long thick wavy hair and now I don’t. Everything is a struggle.
I also had long curly blonde hair,like Guenevere type hair. It began to fall out after I got long haul. But I was so humiliated that it was going that now I shave my head into a short crew cut so I dont have to see the hairline that has gone back.
my hair was falling out too but its getting better. i take digestive enzymes and probiotics to fix my gut and I do intermittemt fasting as well.
Im from Philippines. I experience All symptoms... 😭I miss my life.. Normal life.
Same ... March 2020
Im a filipino from canada. Im vaxxed injured. Ive talked to families in phils about my situation but they just dismissed my concerns. Where in phils are u from?
ps: as of this time, i would say im 80% recovered.
when she said the brushing teeth incident!! i knew it!!! this happens to me every time i brush em! its like im working out or something :(
I got covid in may 2021 ...after that i get more emotional... Cannot remember names... Cant concentrate on anything... Even i cannot speak properly when i speak i dont get words...
how are u now
@@neerajkushwaha23 i started doing small exercise and all... Now i feel better.. But my liver enzyme levels and bp are still high
@@user-cu1ks1wc4l dont consume dairy products and meat and try intermittent fasting it will help do this utill u get fully recovered btw whts your age
@@neerajkushwaha23 27 bro.. Ya doctor adviced me the same.. Reduce high fat food and red meat..
@@user-cu1ks1wc4l i am 19 bro hoping for our fast recovery only we can do is hope and have patience towards our body time will heal
Such a good video your own health is the biggest wealth
Yep it's true.. what was she said all the symptoms are right.. everyone have different kind of symptoms. Everyday I push myself to do my things. I only do 30% and 70% can't do.. So it's depressed always why I doing like this, why I am not finished my work.
Any update ?? How are you feeling now ???
I wish you and me a permanent recovery and for every patient, I wanted to ask you if you had pain in the knee, thigh and foot or swelling in the leg, or anyone who has gone through that because I have been suffering since my injury, what are your symptoms
i suffered that too but getting better. i took b vitamins and magnesium. fasting is a huge thing for my recovery.
I feel my legs dont have strength anymore and continuous headache specially after consuming dairy
I can't have dairy either, especially sour cream. It gives me this weird brain spell, and gag reflex.

The 2nd woman who feels dizzy when standing, that's POTS. To everyone suffering with Long COVID, I urge you to look up Gez Medinger on TH-cam, his videos are one of the rare ones that have have helped me overcome it tremendously)!
Thank you so much for the info

Same from almost 2 years
I also feel same. No normal life after one month long covid
Long COVID symptoms are more common than you would think. Hang in there!
Have you gotten better?
A lot of people I’ve seen through covid have developed auto immune diseases and suggested seeing endocrinologist
Only the vaxinated.... have you noticed that?
@@stelltame227 BS ... someone with autoimmunity would notice the symptoms.. thyroid issues is an autoimmunity issue..
@@stelltame227 Wasn't vaccinated when my long covid problems started. And before somebody else jumps to blame my being unvaxxed for getting covid, no, it just wasn't yet available. I can't rule any effects from the vaccination but pl remember there were long haulers from 2020 as well and there was no vaccine available anywhere at the time, so covid by itself can absolutely cause the issues shown in the video. Choosing to disbelieve it for ideological reasons is of course your prerogative.
@@stelltame227 I suffer from long covid since 2022 November. No needles for me.pnenominea Nov 2022
@@MadanRajaRock my comment is next in line
Suffering from long covid since September 2021,, went to many doctors but none of them were helpful but after researching days and months i found fasting is very helpful to beat the long covid issues but hoe long i should fast idk ,, now im fasting almost 2 months now but still not recovered but 60% maybe ,,
Also im taking some supplements as well like NAC, antihistamine h2 , vitamins c ,d ,omega 6 and other vitamins ...
My weight decreased almost 10kg now im taking 1 time meal at night and it's not easy ,,,
Omega-6 is no good for you Omega-3s and nines are good but omega-6 is not good anyways I just thought I'd share that information you seem to be well educated keep up the good work I too am struggling but have found a lot of natural products that have helped me along the way as well
how are u now

Same here. Palpitations, GERD , sleeplessness, dark circles ( looking like owl ).
Me too.
I had covid in april 2021. I still have my symptoms going on!
Check the side effects of you know what.... perhaps it is from that.
@@stelltame227 the vaccine doesn't work. People are getting sick because the vaccine failed to prevent illness from covid.
The video writes that the pandemic is ebbing but in fact it is NOT. It is not being widely reported because of us having to go back to normal, where in fact normality is not there.
Fucking hell. It's like people have forgotten about this shitty plague. I sometimes think to my how bad the world would be if it turned out to be more vicious than the black death.
50 months for me now. Heart and breathing problems and unable to talk, walk for mor than 30 min/day. No vax here either.
Some people were busy eating golgappas when govt said stay indoor
Yes you are right l had 2year ago and sill not right co19
Sounds terrible this long covid. More research needs to be done on its causes of ill health in covid patients. Actually hate to say more people that I know have had boosters have actually been sicker then ones just double vaccinated. Me and my wife very lucky never had covid despite only 2 astrazeneca shots. Poor things fight for your health.
I didn't get any vaxines

I lost my husband in covid 19
So sorry to hear that, my condolences
Was he vaccinated may I ask?
I'm sorry. May he rest in peace.
So sorry for the loss. RIP
Nice 👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you :)
A lot of the symptoms are autoimmune symptoms. Hmmm
18 months for me.

Smh
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE: NO REFUNDS
Id like to see what percentage of 'long covid' patients got the jab.
Do not know exactly why you ask but my answer may perhaps address/refute two common hypotheses that people asking this question work with.
I got covid in Dec 2020 when there were no vaccines available. So yes, I was unvaxxed. But I had a relapse of symptoms after my second covid infection in Jan 2022 and by now I was twice vaccinated.
Also my long covid symptoms began end of March 2021 and I could only get the first dose of the vaccine in May 2021.
Did you have the vacine first
Probs with long term coof? Well they probably shouldn’t have injected themselves with it then🙄
All these long covid side effects are literally listed as the side effects from you know what......
