  • More than two years into the pandemic, researchers still have few answers about why as many as 1-in-5 adults infected with COVID have experienced a symptom suggestive of long-term effects. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jonathan LaPook talks with doctors looking at ways to diagnose and treat patients with long COVID; and with patients who are striving to get back to their pre-COVID health.

    For those of us who were previously highly athletic, it is even worse. It infuriates me to hear people fault others for getting sick by saying they must have had pre-existing conditions or are older. Pre-covid, I ran circles around people half my age.

      Yes, there is a lot of victim shaming in most things, but catching a germ should be free of that if it's thru no fault of your own (refusal to wear a mask, e.g.) "Pre-existing conditions" and the inference that 'they were going to die anyway' (from 'authorities' like "Dr." Oz) is some of the worst side-stepping ever during a deadly pandemic where so many in power just wanted to keep their heads in the sand and downplay it all for political or other agendas.

      Yeah, so what? I was a female in my 20’s, athletic and in the prime of my life when lupus changed it forever. You aren’t special. Lots of Americans have devastating autoimmune illness with much more severe symptoms and consequences than long covid patients. We require kidney transplants, chemotherapy and other treatment for life. Most of us spend years getting a diagnosis. So please stop with your self-pity; it’s embarrassing.

      @@Cwgrlup Sorry you're so embarassed. You must certainly be projecting your own thoughts because you have no idea whatsoever where I am in my process of healing. I don't need your pity or validation. Instead, I study and am lucky to be able to learn alternative strategies to heal over time. I have a strong medical & educational background. Many with long covid are as sick as you are. Don't compare and act like you've had a worse time of it than they have. Many cannot work, including physicians. You don't know what their lives are like. Instead, learn gratitude and compassion, instead of bitterly telling them to just "suck it up.

    Living with the lasting effects is a real thing. As a result, I cannot taste or smell. I can taste sweet and creamy but all other foods have a distorted taste and I do not relish some foods any longer. I have a lasting cough that just won't go away, so in a sense my body doesn't function as well since I had Covid. This is the new normal for me but I am still alive, so that is a blessing. This is the first time I have spoken up about the lasting effects of Covid-19. I live a quiet and simple life and do not search for sympathy or to be in the limelight. Kudos to those who do.

    I and my daughter contracted Covid in the 1st wave March 2020. Our struggle with Long Covid has been difficult from the first stages of gaslighting from ER and GP docs, who told us our symptoms were due to anxiety, or that it must be "something else", to losing our ability to work and losing friends/family connections. My daughter's an OT, she had to stop working last Nov., and we lived off her savings, which now has now gone to zero. I applied for disability Sept. 2021, still no decision on that.
    We've found improvement from herbal treatments by an licensed herbalist, but neither of us are at 100%, and if it weren't for his treatment, we'd be much worse. We've had times when we feel better, but if we over exert, push our energy. we crash again, and end up in bed for days on end with more symptoms.
    I'm happy to finally see a news report like this on mainstream TV, because as the man in this story said, we feel invisible, as too many people don't believe it's real. Most people in my life, don't even ask how we're doing any longer, nor do they invite us anywhere. It's as though to them, we fell off the face of the earth, and they moved on.

    Understanding long covid won't be until after a few decades. Which makes one wonder what happens if people keep getting covid...what's the percentage of that turns into long term covid and if so what changes are being made, civilization must adapt or get wiped out like the mayans.

    I haven't been able to cut my grass, due to Long Covid, since July 2021. My work colleagues can't get over it. "Are you gonna cut it this weekend?" "Just get out there and cut it!" They have no idea how bad I will be after attempting, what I would call, the super human feat of mowing the lawn.
    I had a couple of weeks there where I felt a lot like my old self. There was a heat wave here, so I took the day off work and brought the family to the local beach. I was fine walking up and down the beach, but after a quick dip in the ocean I felt the dreaded headaches/ skull nerves/ brain zaps. And the following few days I felt awful.
    When showering and making dinner are classed as 'exertion', swimming is a definite No NO.
    It doesn't help when not one of your work colleagues has been out sick with Covid. Some people are very lucky. But they have no idea what Covid has done to so many of us (apart from those who paid the ultimate price and died).

    It’s Post Viral Syndrome rebranded as Long Covid. I had this 42 years ago aged 19 after a severe bout of flu. I was flat on my back for two weeks, already very skinny but lost 10 pounds in weight. Took me nearly two years to feel anywhere near normal again. Everything tasted differently to me for a long time and my college course had to be pushed back one year then two years. It did go eventually and I started running and haven’t stopped since.

    Before COVID I already had Ehlers-Danlos, and despite vaccination I'm currently recovering from my third round of COVID. Since having it, my POTS symptoms that normally come along with my EDS has gotten worse. I run out of energy so much quicker than I used to, and it takes much longer to recharge. My joints and muscles feel weaker too. The isolation makes my social issues so much worse.

    I was unknowingly exposed to COVID June 25. In hindsight I realize I was already feeling sick that night when I had nausea and slept in till 3pm. Got chills and sore throat by 28th and took a test. I've been sick ever since. I was never too sick just a bit of coughing and I slept almost non-stop for a week.
    What *really* worried me was I became extremely forgetful. I kept repeating myself to people. And I couldn't hold a glass of water and walk at the same time without sloshing it around on the floor.
    Strangely, I never lost my ability to do software development which requires short term memory skills
    Thankfully it seems to have cleared up after week 2.

    There needs to be more attention to autoimmune diseases as they are directly related. I already had Lyme, Epstein Barr, Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS and then got a horrible case of Covid (before the vaccine for those who think it's the problem, insulting). I didn't know what was going on because it was not respiratory, it was vascular. Fried my heart and my brain. I live with extreme tinnitus, NO energy, mental problems, numbness, heart palpitations, etc... I am still not hearing anyone else talk about how bad it can get. I am low income and get no treatment for any of this, doctors never acknowledged my autoimmune issues and surely could care less about long covid. Please include the poor in your research.

    I was reactive to food items and the environment that never bothered me before.
    I hit on the idea of monitoring my glucose levels avoiding sugars and carbs. I felt better within a short time. And, I also avoided gluten, and adapted a diet akin to someone with M.S. It seems to work for me, but I still have ups and downs.

      I feel like I have a fever, but my temperature is fine, even though I am clammy to the touch. My tops of my toes are tender and my hand have a numb-like feeling often. I have fatigue on sone days that is quite dramatic.
      Unrelated to Covid (as I hadn’t had it at that time), I had cat scans and bloodwork done in March - all of which, thankfully, showed no areas of concern. Yet, I feel this way more often than not. I haven’t found anything that helps.

I've almost felt like I have a little "splinter" of leftover infection that needs to be pulled from my lungs. That would relieve it. My sense is that an antiviral might help, but to date that prospect remains sketchy as far as I know. It would be a good area to research. Sharing to try to help people - would like to know what kind of medication Camille, the runner, has been on. Thanks for sharing.

    I was sick just about all of January 2022 with Covid. February 2022, I had a TIA with temporary blindness in my right eye. Then the end of March through most of April, I had excruciating headaches that pain reliever didn't touch, all day, all night until they abruptly (and thankfully stopped) May, I had another TIA (mini strokes), June I had yet another TIA. None of the doctors know what is causing it and now keep telling me "you are fine, there's nothing wrong with you". Despite being told I had TIAs. The June TIA was the worst for me, having total confusion, drooping in my face, BP over 200, yet my tests were fine, they sent me home with reason for visit "headaches" which I did not have. I also have to have monthly injections in my right eye to reduce excessive swelling due to a blood clot. I can't see close up in this eye at all and get periodic blind spots. I attribute it all to covid and long haulers, but doctors are at a loss and now I pretty much feel forgotten and have taken to researching myself and various supplements.

      @@sozinho_9894 Hi, sadly not much better. I did feel really good from August to end of October. Even looked better and got compliments, but come November, my health took a nose dive. My primary physician is useless, so when I see my neuro-opthomalogist at the end of this month and my eye specialist for injection, I will ask for recommendations for an internist. I had a follow up exam with my primary a couple weeks ago and the first thing he offered up was "Do you want happy pills?" I said no (inside I was offended). I told him I thought all this was caused by covid and possibly the vaccine, he just ignored me. said he wanted some blood work done for same things he always checks, walked out, never submitted it. At that point I decided I'm done with him. The only thing that has helped my eye was I bought a grounding cord? Have you ever heard of earthing? I was researching that and purchased a cord, pad and wrist band and that has helped me SO much. Swelling in my eye is greatly reduced unless I get foolish and eat popcorn or anything with sodium or a high sodium content, but my vision is improving since using the cord. I put the band on my wrist and on my bed at night and it even helps me sleep better. Sorry this was a long update. Thanks for asking.

      From what I can gather, being fully vaxed & boosted is your best bet. It won't keep you from getting it, but it will help prevent you from getting seriously ill. Even better than that is not getting it in the first place. So your best bet there is to social distance & wear a mask (make sure it's an N95) when you're indoors. No guarantees but doing those two things (staying up to date on your vax & wearing a mask indoors) is what will give you the best chance of not getting seriously ill from covid.

The party started 10 days later. I am still not myself months later. I deal with horrific PEM every time I over exert and do any type of activity. I felt like the past few weeks I might have beaten this thing, and then it came back with a vengeance. Some days I feel totally normal (kinda) other days I feel like crap. And in any given day I will be up and down maybe five or six times. In terms of symptoms. I feel different every few hours. It’s so hard to tell from day to day how I’m going to feel. So I have isolated myself from the world and I try to do only the necessities in life. I wanted to know how are you feeling today?
