Nice to see you studying you tube videos, apparently they were not worth relying upon ....
I've learnt so much from real people ,articulating their situations, I have no idea....why you and many others......criticised my highlighting of real people telling their story.
You appear to be expanding your net ...good on you......There will be an answer to this terrible condition.
I've been studying long covid discussions online for quite awhile now,.....just glad to see you are doing the same.

These aren't conspiracy theorists, mate. They use the evidence and facts related with a condition KNOWN to be caused by the COVID virus. They have the real studies. They're EXPERTS and not trying to provide mis-info like you hand the bullshit you post. You ignore all the responses to your claims...you ignore when it's proven to be bullshit...you just wait for the next conspiracy claim to post. What a dishonest twat you are.
You're on a thread about Long COVID. A known condition caused by COVID 19. Now proven.
What you're doing is claiming that the vaccines cause a problem (we know all medicines have some side -effects. Some very rare...like the COVID vaccine). It's a separate issue from LONG COVID. Make your own thread showing how vaccines have caused problems....NOT CLAIMS. You have to show evidence. You know you will fail...that's why you post your shite here.

My partner has long covid very bad. Never been the same since the outbreak. Completely exhausted 90% of the time. Rarely up past 8:30pm in the evening. Asthma symptoms, sleep apnea machine, nebuliser. When there is a good day, it is usually followed by a severe crash for the next 3 or 4 days. Very forgetful, continious brain fog.
Unable to do any really physical activity, the weight is creeping up and not helping with their self confidence and self esteem.
It’s an awful condition, taking a lot of medication to help anti inflammatories other pain relief.
It’s all very sad. Went for physiotherapy class and she was struggling to keep up with people 25 years older who had had major surgeries etc.
I hope there is a cure found soon, it’s bloody awful to watch a firebrand become a shell of the person she was.

I'm a big fan of the phrase 'studying Youtube videos.' Presumably a module from the Do Your Own Research Department of the University of Life.

As far as Youtube channels are concerned, Physics Girl is a good one to follow. She used to do great educational physics videos, and then contracted long covid so the channel has largely been about that. It really shows how much it can affect previously vibrant people. Here's her most recent video:

You probably won’t believe me...but I have it worse than that. Took me about an hour to get out of bed and downstairs this morning. And then I collapsed on the couch for another hour. It's the same every day now....with the odd day not as bad. I don't want to die, but the thought of ending it is more common at times. Thank fuck I have my medical cannabis. Seriously. What a relief. The fatigue is an intense feeling. Really uncomfortable.

Thank god she’s got you, mate. Many close relatives and friends will deny its existence.

Oh I believe you. I've been following Diana since covid (well before that too of course) and that video is her after 2 or so years of recovery. Earlier on, it was that they couldn't even open the windows in her bedroom because it would be too stimulating.

My mum had ME when I was younger. Never that seriously, but she would maybe go and do the shopping in the morning and then need to spend all afternoon in bed because of it. She blames Mt Teide in Gran Canaria, because she got altitude sickness and then seemingly never recovered. Probably bollocks, but you hear these stories about someone getting bitten by a tick or something and it ruining their whole life. Something that innocuous can just completely change everything.

For those that doubt long covid exists or who believe those that suffer are sick notes I can tell you, you are very, very wrong. It is real, life changing and serious. My son is into his third year. Previously an extreme sportsman and cycling nut. Now can't walk more than 200 yards.

I haven’t looked at it. It’s enough to see my son suffering. I could do without getting angry at ‘conspiracy theories’. Is there any proper medical news out there which would suggest some understanding of this fucking awful condition? Still wishing you some improvement mate.

There are always new genuine studies into the condition, but do they ever help me? Do they f...
I tried a few months on antihistamines as they apparently help some people but..not me. Did nowt. I'm a lot worse now..probably due to lack of exercise and muscle wasting. I'm lying down on the couch after I get up! I try a few things...like housework/gardening, but It still fucks me up. I feel awful every day..... I think I told you weed helps me in the evenings. Amazing difference...but...BIG 'but'..I think I'm getting too hooked on that as a relief now.
 
Struggled badly this morning. I had an hour dental appointment (been fighting for this) for root canal treatment at 10:30 am. Bad day again...I managed to crawl out of bed and into a cold shower..but my muscles are in pain and I'm short of breath. SO....I walked the 30 mins to the dentist (10 min walk usually)...very slowly and unsteadily, but got there dead on time, only to find that I don't have an appointment today - it's in a few weeks. Duh! My brain just doesn't work anymore. I fucking hate this condition, illness, "imaginary in my head" bullshit "caused by the vaccine" ( ;)) "oh your just getting old"..."I'm tired too, you know?"
I've just realised...i can't look after myself any more. I NEED my family.
