How many are here because of Longterm COVID disability?

[wljourney]

I have seen a few people mentioning that they struggle with brain fog, mood disorders, anxiety, exhaustion etc. and some have mentioned it to be COVID related.

Specifically Longterm COVID (defined by suffering from symptoms for longer than 8-12 weeks).

So, just out of curiosity:
How many of you are here because of Longterm effects after COVID infection?

P.S.: please don't use this thread for antivax denialism and blaming Gates and 5G and god knows what. Got nobody time for that.

I'm here because of longterm effects after COVID. Never ending head aches, never ending tinnitus, heart rushes, etc.
No brain fog, though.

Can't wait for this to end.

 

[Rational man]

Im not antivax but my disease appeared soon after the first vax, like within days but of course, coincidence is possible. I have abdominal pains, weight loss and fatigue. Unfortunately, the situation is progressive and im wasting away and doctors are stumped. I just cant eat much now. I dont blame ANYONE . I made a choice.

Thank you for sharing.
Yes I'm sure there are many who attribute longterm illness to the vaccination, while it is quite possible that you were exposed to COVID when the vaccine wasn't fully active yet.
Either way, I'm very sorry for your struggle and pain this has brought on.

Thank you for sharing. It is quite debilitating for so many thousands of people and just so very sad that doctors still don't know what to do. Science rocks, but it can only do so much in a short period of time.
Real people are left to suffer.
My heart goes out to you.

Science and medicine is not skyrocking. Most diseases cant be cured. And biological research only trys to explain some biological conditions, but that doesnt help the affected person.

Thought I'd bump this thread up again after it has been 2 years now.

There has been much more attention to #Longcovid in the media and by science.

Tomorrow the US gov is actually having a hearing on the topic (finally).

Many other countries have already mentioned #longcovid in their recent statements and it seems to become more and more clear that this is going to be a huge challenge for every country and the global economy as a whole.

Long story short…

How many of you are here because long COVID has destroyed your quality of life and there seems to be no cure or treatment on the horizon?

caught covid 4 different times from march 2020 to February 2022, was diagnosed with "long covid", while it hasn't been a cause for my depressions, its compounded it. Since contracting i've dealt with constant headaches, major fatigue, and I barely have the energy or thought to do or accomplish anything. Recently I've started going to sleep at stupid times in the morning (7-8am ish) and not waking up until well into the day. I'm left constantly tired but never tired enough to sleep through it. Living in the northern hemisphere in winter, in the past 2 months I've gone almost without any sunlight at all and my productivity has halted even more than it had been. FML.

My mom took her own life from COVID lethargy. After COVID-19, she couldn't sleep without sleeping pills and next started taking antidepressants for depression. And she always felt tired and mild fever. Doctors had no idea what kind of illness it was.

I've been thinking about ctb since my mother passed away.

Ugh yes I hear you.
What you are describing is pretty much my life even before COVID.
Knowing how massively repeated Covid infections can compound those very same symptoms I now pretty much not leave the house because absolutely nothing is worth doubling the fatigue, the brain fog, the depression, anxiety… everything.

I very very much hope that one of these new treatments that are now being trialled officially and unofficially all over the world will bring relief for me.

I so, so wish they find a miracle drug that will get you back to at least baseline.

Sigh what a horrible experience to go through.
Do you have grief counseling or any other resources to support you?
I really wish there is someone or something that will get you through this.
Hugs

I've been struggling physically for the past year. It's either cancer, multiple sclerosis or CFS.
I've neve been high energy individual but nowadays I get exhausted after doing simple tasks.

I'm also consulting a psychiatrist and taking antidepressants. But I don't think they're meaningful. Thank you for your attention

Sadly every illness that is new and can't be explained (or "can't be because it mustn't be") is often pushed off into psychiatry.

Must be something with the brain if we can't find a physical connection.

Sadly many other patients have walked that path of gaslighting before and I truly hope the perception changes soon. Because only if we really look at the causes and potential treatments will people get better.

Talking to a therapist may help to not go completely mad from the abuse and incompetence that the healthcare system provides.

Maybe you have heard about the "spoon theory" yet. Google it. It may help you manage better and give yourself a break when there are simply no more spoons available in a day.

I'm in a similar boat. For 53 years I was perfectly healthy and active, got the vax and shortly after developed a wasting condition that doctors could not diagnose. Correlation, causation, whatever. Disfigured and disabled, chronic fatigue, reward paths silenced. Never had covid symptoms but it seems similar to long covid.

Im sorry to hear about your suffering but im hearing more and more concerns, despite governments cover-up. Just two Weeks ago a neighbour, nearby, suddenly died. He was youngish and fit. I dont wish to blame but I seek honesty and closure from mental suffering before I leave this world.

I'm here only because of this terrible Long Covid from Covid, never had Covid vaxx. Very sad (extremely sad...) to see people in the same position here.

This... I already went through a hellish time losing my home, my work, my environment, building things up again in a new place. Then losing both my parents to cancer within a year.
Fighting the usual suicidal thoughts and then losing the only friend I actually saw in real life.
Then getting long-covid on top of it. Didn't get the usual symptoms so everyone kept telling me it "must be something else." Despite being 'relatively healthy' and very active before I got infected. And afterwards only being able to lie in a dark, silent, room.
The endlessness of doctors letting me down. No one has an idea how to help me. No one really bothered trying either. Just started therapy after a 9 months waitinglist. But its already clear its not going to help with any long-covid symptoms. Tried a ssri but that made everything so much worse. Now trying to recover from that to get back to my baseline.
I am so tired of fighting my own body and mind, everyday, alone.

I am sad to read I'm not the only one. Hugs to you all!

Im sorry to hear this awful news. I.think we're only beginning to understand the pandemic fallout. I.believe I was injured by the vax . I got c19 illness one Year later. Drs appear reluctant to talk much about it. Now im incurable with a rare endocrine malfunction.

Rest in peace to the OP who ctb a few days ago, hopefully we will see some better research in the field of post viral illnesses and immune system abnormalities in the next few years before more people are lost to these terrible diseases.
