Long COVD ruined the quality of my life.
Same 😞
Same here 🥹 2 years and still struggling!!!
Same
The fatigue and exhaustion are disrupting my life, it's hard to function...
same here... does anyone have any cure?
thank-you for presenting Long Covid symptoms so clearly…. even after two years, people are still (painfully) unaware and/or dismissive of this affliction…. I’m sure I speak for many when I say that we are deeply grateful for everything you’re doing… 🙏
Thank you Chris for your feedback. We are very grateful.
This just popped up on my feed. It explains everything in layman terms so well. I contracted Covid end of November 2021, after one week I was hospitalized, then admitted to the hospital's ICU and discharged 18th December 2021. Luckily I survived but my Long Covid symptoms are breaking me physically and mentally. One day I hope this nightmare will disappear from my life.
Thank you for your comment. We are pleased you found this video, which is part of the Long COVID Video Series. We are sorry to hear about your health challenges and hope you get some ease soon.

I've been navigating all these symptoms, and more, for over 3 years. My most recent LongCovid update is GI. This just keeps getting better & better...😢
I had the disease in September 22. Still have all these symptoms, including anxiety and depression. Hope others don’t have the hell I went through. I am getting somewhat better with minerals and vitamins that have some benefit for me.
I am with you ,I got Covid on April 2020 , now i still have all of those things they are talking about
I am still suffering as if I still have it a year later
What vitamins and minerals would you say have helped ?
@@Team920_
Tulsi milkthistle quercitin d c zink copper curcuma tea is helping me. Also fasted. Now omad and low histamine. No sugar and processed food.
The anxiety and depression went away after two days.
Now 2.5 months in. Still feeling good. Sleep deep and good also. Lost the weird weight i got eventhough i could not eat anymore.
6 kilos are gone allready.
The muscles are still very painfull at times That part i have fysio for. And i have noticed that it worsen when i had to many visitors.
Overloads my system.
The weird hearing sometimes low sometimes very hard and bad vision are still bad. Brainfog is 80% better as long as there is not to much people input.
Smell and taste goes up and down.
Started aromatherapy for that. And pure rose and helychisumoil in a diffuser also works to calm the nervous system, sleep etc so it is a win win. 😊
Vit d , zinc iron vitamin c , cumin spice
Really bad headaches. Sinus pain. Dizzy. Feeling tired. Feeling not in the moment. Like im not in my body. Pressure in my head. Afraid to drive. Ear infections.
Same
Started getting allergies, headaches,dizziness, dehydrated feeling at times, tinnitus which is soooo annoying. Got very sick January 2, bad flu bug, was sooo sick, throwing up, couldn't eat much and to top it all off, caught a horrible cold, coughing lots, depressed , runny nose for months.
18 months into long covid still have extreme fatigue unfortunately
Hi how are you now. You can walk in street??
Yes recoverd at 19 months
@@davidrobinson8947 I can't walk more than 300 steps 😭that's why I am just going to bed
Great to hear your recovered! I’m 10 months in and losing hope. It gets better then comes back. PEM only symptom.
@@davidrobinson8947 how did you recovered,?
Thanks for this video. So many people with longcovid come accross disbelief. This video will help them (me) explain what they are experiencing.
Thank you Miranda. We really hope this video and the whole video series helps many people.
Thank you for bringing this up for all of us who have been there done that
I have long Covid for about a month and all these symptoms are spot on but you forgot anxiety and depression. I’ve never had anxiety or depression prior to getting Covid and when my symptoms flare up I get a feeling of doom, anxiety, and depression.
Thank you for your comment. We discuss other symptoms across our video series. Check out the videos “Episodic Nature” and “Impact on day to day life” to see info specific to your comment. longcovid.physio/long-covid-video-series
Yep the doom feeling …. Unlike anything I’ve ever had
@@Christinesobsevationshang in there. My symptoms are gone now and lasted about 2 months. It was torture. I tell people it’s like “bad tripping” on weed but for months on end.
@@Christinesobsevationswhat would you say has helped ?
Long COVID experiencing headaches
Thanks yo the turn to app, ive been able to implement some symptom management strategies. It was really helpful!
I keep coming down with covid every year since the end of 2019. I'm just now starting to get over the 4th round of it and this was by far the worst round yet. It's been 4 1/2 weeks. I'm so done with covid.
ArtemiC Rescue and Support helped make my Long dissapear after 9 days.
NAC 1200 twice a day..İt helps..
This is horrible… unfortunately all my symptoms are pretty constant… hoping they go away soon!! Going on 3 weeks wahhhh 😢
Good video! This was good to understand a bit more about what’s going on in by body and brain
How are you now?
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
This video is extremely helpful and I hope can be used more widely. I have had long covid (after being very fit and well) for six months and have shared this video with family and colleagues to raise awareness. Thank you
Thank you 🙏🏻 we are really pleased this video helps communicate with friends, family, loved ones, and colleagues, some of the common symptoms experienced by people living with Long COVID. Check out the rest of the video series to see our other videos.
I reccomend prolonged fasting. DYOR on the topic and make sure your in the right health to do it safely. I have seen a great improvement in my LC after a 3 day water fast paired with supplementing RESVERATROL & QUEURCITIN. This triggers autophagy and clears the blood of spike proteins!!
It’s been 2 years and still having trouble concentrating
I'm ten months in a I feel the same, it's so discouraging I often feel like ending it myself.
@@alphamoose4385always an option
consider it
Im also suffering from long covid.
Yelp me too 2 years plus and still have it.
it definetely got a little better to me.. it's not that bad anymore. hope you're ok
@@alphamoose4385
Thank you for this wonderful visual summary. Very easy to follow for people who don´t understand what we have been through.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I have long covid for the second time (had it back in 2020 as well.) The good news is it went away after a while back then. I also found it got worse after I ate simple carbs - maybe because these foods cause inflammation. Also, anxiety a major symptom not addressed in the video. NSAIDs help with symptoms, but don’t overdo it.
Similar symptoms to depression. Being bullied into taking poison and feeling stupid can do that.
Prednisone! Works great!
Great, thank you!
Thank you Francesca for your feedback.
I have the post exertion symptoms worsening, it manifests with 4-5 hours delay after a short walk of 20min, also after a stressful hour of office work, this improves after 12 hours. Also during night time sensation that your throat is swollen or "closed up". Being dealing with this 8 weeks, it's getting better but healing has been slow.
So I've had all of those symptoms since I had my second Pfizer vacc in 2021, and the only thing that's gotten better is the palpitations. Slightly. I did not make a fuss about it being vacc related because i was hoping for medical help (unfortunately medical professionals are tempted to write you off as mentally ill if you imply vaccine injury), irregardless none of these symptoms seem to worry my doctor. Its nice to see at least this.
The symptoms suck, im half the person i was before them, but my biggest worry is what kind of damage is being done? I do know i now have multiple nodules in my lungs, nothing big enough to cause the chest pressure and sob ive been feeling for 2.5 years ...
Hey, I’ve had the exact same experience , again after my second Pfizer vax. Thankfully my palpitations have decreased now. The chest tightness still creeps in around the evening time though and I hit fatigue around 5-6pm and feel exhausted.
@@jamieenver3074
Since I posted that I did 2 months of NAC 1000mg per day, and took a baby aspirin every night
I feel 60% better!!
Still taking the aspirin
I used the Now brand, got it off Amazon a while back
I had to stop work nearly two years ago. It was like every small problem I had was three times worse. My brain , my gate. So much has been a problem. I started taking acetyl l carnitine 1500 mg a day,for pain. My mind started to clear, my gate went back to normal. I am not afraid of driving .and my mood is so much better. Maybe some should research if it's for them
I am suffering from these kinds of symptoms from 3 plus years and now i am dealing with extreme fatigue..... Even I can't drive a two wheeler for long distance...it feels like whole energy sucked with nausea and balance issues... problem in concentrating ..... can't think too much....and also experienced weight loss.….All blood test are done nothing is there ..in starting b12 vit was low which i fixed now Vit D is very low ......Other than this everything is normal....then also lot's of weird symptoms..
Is there a way to overcome long covid? :( I am feeling all of these... all my blood chem results/ECG/urinalysis were all normal.. but these symptoms are all that I've been feeling.. thank you for sharing!
Look at Pots syndrome, pacing for M.E and mcas
Thanks again for the video. I just would like to comment that the disability caused by Long Covid, isn't only sporadic. It can actually last weeks and months.
Thank you. Episodic Disability does not refer to an all or nothing experience. It represents the fluctuating and often unpredictable nature of symptoms, impairments, and challenges with functioning in daily life. Check out our video on the Episodic Nature of Long COVID th-cam.com/video/KHHlYrDmby4/w-d-xo.html
My previously super healthy 50 year old daughter is on disability for long Covid. It’s distressing to see. She got Covid and never got well. Just got worse. The fatigue is crippling. She is also seeing a heart specialist. I’m hoping at some point, it will get better. But, she will never return to work as a health care professional.
Hope she's better.
I'm sorry to hear that covid is bad stuff
I have palpitations when I'm on my monthly and is currently battling burning back pain. I was never sick before I had covid.
There is a lot more than that!
i'm 45 years old had covid April 2020 did not go the hospital however struggled in the basement for 2 months felt like going through the gates of hell, its now 3 1/2 years later, I'm severely weak all the time fatigue , diminished vision , loss of focus , sleep 2 hours a night if I'm lucky , chest pains come and go every day, massive weight gain do to lack of exercise, when you tired you cant do any exercise, constant headaches 7 Brain tremors, going from doctor to doctor they are all clueless wish I Some answers (most severe is my insomnia) hope for some sort of remedy or cure 😪😪
Try the carnivore diet. Listen to Dr. Ken Berry on TH-cam.
vertigo,fatigue,memory slowing, stomach pains,
I had back pain afterwards and thought that it was from lack of exercise or something and made the mistake of working out my back muscles
A week of constant back pain after that which isn’t normal considering I’m in my early 20’s
What if any clinical studies have resulted in answers to a cure for this? My daughter has and is suffering horribly for 3 years now with long covid.
Any with persistent legs pain , i can not walk up on a scale i need to take the elevator i feel fatigue
So what’s the cure
Is anybody else having grey lips. Temple and eye pain along with slow heart rate?
I got covid for the first time just recently, since I recovered from not having covid I feel nausea a lot.
I have shortness of breath (also in rest) since begin april and fatigue after covid... Will my shortness of breath be less severe in period of time or will it stay the same? Anyone withe experience or any idea?
i'm going thru this rn
September 2023 ~ Second time having COVID; first time was also in September (of 2021) - this bout is far worse! What remains at the four week mark is having very weak & shakey legs & ringing in the ears! I had two Pfizer vaccines 💉💉 + a booster 💉 in December 2021 ... I am frustrated at how slow I am recovering, and, worried how long my legs will continue to feel like this?!? Family & friends - don't really get it! They keep asking "Aren't you well yet?" - 😷
sorry to hear this , how are you now
@@Lori-kv4ue 2/9/24 ~ Hi Lori: I'm better --- not back to 100% but much better. I developed some weird hyperthyroidism symptoms from COVID that I'm still sorting out, but grateful to be feeling more like myself than I was in September 🙂! Have you had COVID? I hope not 🙏 --- So sweet of you to ask about how I was doing(?). Happy Friday 🥰
@@Lori-kv4ue P.S. I remember writing that initial post in September 2023 --- so glad to be months down the road 🛣️ from that point ... ❤️🩹
@@ShellyBomb Thanks so much for getting back to me, so glad that you are feeling better , I pray you get back to 100% soon , I got the virus on 6/23/2021 and still having headaches , sometimes right eye floaters and I can no longer see nothing up close no more , my fingers go numb while sleeping and when waking up, did you have any headaches and if so how long did the headaches last for , I had all the scans on my brain and it all came back okay , Thanks again so much for getting back to me, it really might give me some hope that one day I will get back to my old self before the virus , Have a great weekend, Best Wishes
6 months after my covid infection, I am starting to feel fatigue, body pain and weakness, cough and runny nose, sore throat, headache, stomach pain (these symptoms are on and off on a daily basis) are these long covid?
Hello and thank you for your message. Long COVID symptoms can present as continued from acute COVID-19 infection, or develop as new symptoms after the acute episode. Long COVID has been characterised as multi-dimensional, episodic and unpredictable in nature. The World Health Organization definition of Long COVID (termed Post COVID-19 Condition) includes the fluctuating pattern of Long COVID. The symptoms you describe could be consistent with Long COVID, so it might be worth checking with a healthcare professional to rule out any other causes. You can find out more about Long COVID on our website: longcovid.physio/longcovid
@WATCHER yes, it is
I checked every box in the congnitive section. It's awful, everything is such a struggle.
Do you have only cognitive issue with long covid or other issues as well please reply
Do you know how these symptoms will last? For 1 or 2 years?
I've had it over a year now & there's no sign of it stopping...
Ten Months in and feeling like I am improving monthly. PEM is my only symptom left. I am looking at my progress monthly rather than daily. Each month I feel like I improve 2 to 3% very little-but I’ll take anything. I also relapse occasionally. But- I try to not get discouraged. Started to walk everyday. So, in answer to your question, everybody recovers at a different pace. Some longer than others. New study found that most recover in a year. Good luck to you.
@@MK-gy1ug thank you for your reply
4 years and counting for me. Absolute nightmare
In addition I have hair loss and intolerance to heat.
Is it vaccine injury or long covid? What are the differences?
vaccine effects are worse

For those posting here about your struggles with long covid we are going to assume that you were fully vax'd and boosted, unless you indicate otherwise.
My long covid symptoms started before I had vaccine in my system.
Nearly 4 months, lost appetite for meals and snacks. Fried chicken, grand meal, MRE bar, they all taste the same. Lost interest/motivation/desire for chocolate, yogurt, ice cream, durian... I eat flavorless MRE bar to skip meals constantly, they all taste the same, why bother.
Maybe try olfactory retraining? It involves “smelling” certain odors over and over again to retrain your brain to smell properly. Lemon, sage, rose and eucalyptus are all used-get essential oils and smell them daily and over time hopefully your senses will return. Your smelling ability is directly related to your taste ability. Best wishes…
Is that the only symptom you have ? Please reply
