Any Long Covid sufferers on here?

I don't have it, but there's a Youtuber who got it and has basically been bed-bound for months. Diana Cowern who runs the channel Physics Girl, but her Instagram is now being run by her husband and is basically just about the illness and asking for patreon donations because her entire source of income has disappeared. I've heard of people getting it, but she's the worst I've seen it.



I just had covid once when I came back to the UK for 2 weeks. 3 years in Asia without getting it. 2 weeks in the UK and get it almost instantly.

My birthday today and I'm pretty much done. I can hardly move today, it's so bad. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like I helped somebody move house yesterday! Or I ran a marathon. I can just about talk.

Happy Birthday. I’m sorry you’re not feeling 100%. It’s the pits not being well on your special day.
Stay safe, take care. :-)

My sense of smell is almost all back but still not quite what it was. I also get a weird taste when I eat cucumber now, for a while I had it with a few things ,wine,soft fruit etc, now it's only cucumber I can't eat.

I kind of know what you mean but can’t actually describe the taste I get at the back of my throat sometimes, which I associate with a smell I can’t pin down either.

That sounds like your suggesting a conspiracy by the manufacturers, saying unnecessary. What medical evidence do you have to pronounce it unnecessary ?
I don't think the Gov would be paying all this money for something unnecessary.
The worlds experts on contagious bugs are telling/advising the Govmts that this is necessary.

The Government is giving us free vax to protect us and society, no different that the annual Flu jab. Covid is still alive and kicking and the Gov want it to be suppressed. People die from Flu as well that's why they want to suppress Flu. People take time off work with Flu, they pass it on to their family etc etc.

Children are classed as super spreaders of bugs, they touch everything, wipe their noses, eat dried snot from their noses, don't wash their hands (unless made too) that's why they get vaccinated, to keep covid suppressed in society.

Your faith in Government is touching, you obviously don’t have our Govt !
Let’s be honest, The annual flu jab always is a bit of a shot in the dark and not especially effective. I’m surprised that you think Moderna and Pfizer are so altruistic they would walk away from billions of dollars worth of revenue. As for Govt, just read the Hancock papers for what really was going on, and the views of the scientific advisers. In the UK JVT who approved the purchases now works for Moderna.
Bill - don’t tell me you actually dispute manufacturers have made vast sums of money ! There’s no such thing as free vax either - we taxpayers are paying for it - look at the state of the post covid economy - my grandchildren’s children will be paying for this shambles. I’m not going mining for evidence but I’ll go with what I see and what I believe I know. Basically covid NOW has the same fatality rate ( in fact slightly less) than seasonal flu. These vaccines are very very expensive (and hugely profitable) and the USA in particular seems obsessed with giving them to those not at personal risk like infants and healthy young people. More “thoughtful” Countries all over Europe have stopped this including Denmark who was a world leader in handling covid. Conspiracy ? Perhaps ? Who knows. The good old revolving door might just have something to do with it.
People should be more challenging about what happened with covid or we will never learn the lessons and will repeat our mistakes.

I'm under the care of the local Long COVID clinic now.
I've found that weed helps. Massive relief. The only problem are the known side effects: listening to Pink Floyd, talking shite and eating too many treats;)
 
Just want to point out...this thread is called "Any Long COVID Sufferers on here". It's concerning the condition caused by the COVID 19 virus ....hence the name "LONG COVID".
If you believe there is a condition caused by something else, then start your own thread about it...but make sure you provide the evidence, information and the genuine sources that convinced YOU that it's real. Otherwise, fuck off you loony conspiracy theorists.

Ahh yes, I agree on the weed side of things or even ice therapy.

Only problem for me is the munching part and the fact I cannot roll spliffs

I bought a nice vape for my weed. The Australian Health authorities recommend this vape for people that use medical cannabis, as it's the healthiest way. No smoking. Expensive but worth it imo.
Anyway...i can suffer all day and then get massive relief when i have a few goes on the vape. It's like my body wakes up and the muscles are working again.

In a small unscientific sample of around a couple of dozen friends of mine, there’s a definite correlation between the number of multiple boosters and multiple covid infections…the more they have the more times they catch it. I’m by no means anti-vax or a conspiracy theorist, but the manufacturers have made vast sums of money with unnecessary multiple vaccinations of children and fit and healthy adults. In the USA it’s been especially scandalous. Covid has frankly somewhat shaken my confidence in public health advice and I’ll be more wary in the future.

I don't think there's any correlation between the jabs and the number of infections. The latest variants are far more infectious than those that came before it and the mutated virus evades vaccines which makes infections more likely.

The only concern I have is the spacing between infections is really small, I always thought that after an infection you were protected for 6 months+ but it seems not. Nothing to do with the vaccines but just seems an oddity of COVID, I can go years without getting a cold but COVID is very different infectivity wise.

I won't be getting vaccinated again, I'm the opposite of an anti-vaxxer and wholly believe in vaccination but at the moment the vaccines are well behind what is required to prevent infection and that's the only reason why I'd get it because the symptoms aren't a big deal, I've never had a day off from COVID put it that way.

Obviously for vulnerable groups it's a different story.
