#long covid symptoms

An essay by two young people from the UK who have suffered from long COVID for more than two years.

They write about living with long COVID, major adaptations they have had to make and the lack of help and understanding.

"Many of us have been told that we are simply “unfit” from the pandemic’s wider effects, that we should “push through” our symptoms, discomfort, and illness, and that we should continue with sports and other activities. This makes us feel ignored and gaslighted about our symptoms."

So nauseous. Can someone turn my body off and then back on again to clean out whatever errors are causing this?

Long Covid Revisited

The key points are: Long Covid is real. Roughly 10% of those infected with the Coronavirus come down with Long Covid. Autopsies have shown that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can reach every organ in a human body and has been proven to be alive and active in the body at least 7 months after infection. At this point, we have no way to assess the maximum life expectancy of the virus in the body. A Census…

Anyone else with long covid symptoms of randomly smelling raw/bad meat/blood?

[hellofaride2021]

I had COVID back around the end March and the only issue I’ve had since then is I’ve noticed I get short of breath easier, especially when climbing stairs and singing. But tonight everything I’m eating is smelling and tasting weird. Is it possible to get long covid symptoms like this for the first time about six months later?

Vagus Nerve Activation Tips for Long COVID

Vagus Nerve Activation Tips for Long COVID

You might think that once you have COVID and get through it without major issues that life will resume as before. But for over a third of folks, that isn’t true. Long COVID is the term used by doctors for the symptoms that persist for weeks, months, or, in some cases now, years. And these can cause issues in multiple organs and body systems. Long COVID has over 200 recognized symptoms. With that…

Palpitations and Meditation

My heart pounds like a drummer,

the beat rapid fire in my chest

with the impact force of a vehicular

crash, but I passed all the cardiac tests,

so there’s nothing for medicine to do

but suggest I try to wait it out

and hope it goes away soon.

Despite fervent hoping, I’m starting to doubt

that this experience will ever fully end,

and what can I tell myself to counter the fear

of never truly getting better when post viral syndromes

have been known and ignored for years?

Long COVID might have gotten lots of press

that was withheld from other conditions

but the world’s moved on from all things COVID,

returning to life without masks or inhibitions.

Large crowds are once again the norm

and there’s barely a mask in sight.

I don’t judge others personal decisions,

but I still struggle with how all right

everyone seems to be these days

in this so-called post-pandemic time,

while I’m still filled with anxiety

and I’m definitely not fine.

I am just as pandemic fatigued as everybody that I know

but when even walking makes it hard to breathe, that fatigue doesn’t show.

I don’t know what the answer here is

but I wish at least I felt visible

instead of my illness being forgotten

or worse, accused of being fictional.

Thankfully these days the medicinal community

finally acknowledges syndromes long scorned

but that acknowledgement does not

assist in society being informed

and it’s not doctors I spend most days with

so mostly I just feel disregarded and ignored.

I know we can’t always focus on suffering

but a little acknowledgement is all I’m asking for.

I’m trying my best to still have a life

but sometimes I want to call it quits,

curl up under the blankets for a year

but I’m too afraid of what I’ll miss.

How are we still in this place where invisible

means an illness doesn’t matter

after years of opportunity for a paradigm shift

and so much activism chatter?

Despite resolute demands for change

and unyielding marching in the streets,

much of society reverted right back

to the safety of make believe peace,

but the quiet is not without risk

and more transformations are needed

than just those affecting me

and we’ve all been cheated

if we allow this momentum to fade.

We’re all sick and tired in different ways

yet we can’t quit now, so then

will we fight for better days?

fauci saying “vulnerable people will fall by the wayside” and that some will die but that’s ok because we’re not going to see the “tsunami of cases” we’ve seen before is so dehumanising. so babies with no immune system, elderly people, disabled people, and people without adequate access to healthcare can all die of covid. but it’s ok guys because actually they’re just falling to the wayside and everyone else will go back to normal and be fine (sarcasm).

my death or the deaths of my family or friends wouldn’t be us “falling by the wayside”, it would be us being failed by our government, healthcare systems, and communities who have refused to take coronavirus seriously despite mounting anecdotal and scientific evidence of the harm this virus does. fact that people can accept the deaths of vulnerable groups just because they want to eat in a restaurant or don’t want to wear a mask is horrifying

いっしょに　おどりませんか？ Will you dance with me? An official introduction for one of the other newer characters for this project I've been making!

Through hardships and fair weather, until the end, she’ll always be your loving friend 💖💛💙 She has the ability to create sugary concoctions out of bits of rainbow she steals from the sky! Giving you the sugar rush you need to get through the day is her passion! She hails from an island of Goblins and she's kind of her family's black sheep for not wanting to work in the family business of Floristry. Sometimes when she's homesick, she'll make a bed of flowers in a secluded spot and take a nap!
