Why do they keep pushing this long Covid? I have never met anyone in real life who has even mentioned it. It seems to be a disease that exists solely in the imagination of journalists.
This is right up there with CFS. Exactly the same demographic for all of them. The most telling study (peer reviewed) was the one that showed that the only correlation with long covid was whether you THOUGHT you had covid. Actually having covid (by testing) was unrelated.
Yes! some people have to have the latest medical symptoms in order to impress their friends even if self-diagnosed. There is no test for stupid at the present, there should be.
Long COVID is very real and can be diagnosed with a cytokine panel. The treatment changed my life within 2 weeks. Long COVID is not a mystery. We have excellent papers published in Frontiers in Medicine regarding the retained spike protein within “immortal” monocytes that create a perpetual vascular inflammatory process. This process affects the autonomic nervous system and creates a POTS type syndrome, inflames the vasculature of the brain causing tremendous cognitive issues, while also causing inflammation of the heart particularly with interleukin 8. The most interesting thing is that the research found that much of Long COVID is vaccine induced and not infection induced likely due to the exponentially higher amount of spike protein in the blood after vaccination. I was in a debilitated state until two weeks after treatment with Maraviroc, statins, and blood thinners. I’m almost completely back to normal. Please don’t make jokes about this. It is very real for an estimated 30%. It is particularly worse after delta and omicron, especially adolescents. Though some quack doctors are using is as an opportunity to cash in, many docs are doing good work and treating the MOA and not just putting bandaids on symptoms. I just wish the bulk of medical professionals would keep up with current information instead of acting like these are psychosomatic complaints. Read the articles by Bruce Patterson et al. Hope this helps someone.
I know someone who claims to have Long Covid bc she has had Covid three times now and can't shake it...double vaxed and double boosted. And so is her husband, three kids, her parents, her in-laws, everybody, etc. Her mother has Lupus and she is beginning to develop symptoms of it, but hasn't been diagnosed yet. I didn't have the heart to tell her I wasn't vaxxed and felt great. 😢

Hinda, not Honda. Autocorrect strikes again. I apologize.
A clear illustration that COVID hysteria is strongly associated with mental illness.

That is all you need to know.
1 in 3 get long covid? I know dozens and dozens of people who had covid. Don't know a single one that has long covid.
Sounds like a hypochondriac.
$pecialized clinic$
Sounds like a government employee ailment.

Mitochondria. Mitochondria. Mitochondria.
Long Covid = Mass Hysteria= Conversion disorder

I would like to know if all those claiming to have long Covid have been vaccinated.
Maybe her problems originated either oxygen deprivation after wearing a mask for 2 and a half years 24/7?
