And if so, how do we manage/treat it? I discuss those topics using two recent studies, which have some concerning findings people need to be aware of:
It is very much a thing. I had it muscles twitching and I mean every muscle in my body at the same time. Also had an uncontrollable appetite.
My doctor that treated me in an other country went on 3 week vacation right as it hit me. It was hell.
When he got back and we talked he asked me 1 question. Do you have enough Ivermectin to take it for 2 weeks?
I did and from day one no more symptoms
Good deal that took care of it then. Thereās some denying itās a thing. Theyāre wrong.
The puzzling thing is how differently it affects people. I know of nobody who had any sort of serious problems from it. But the experiences Iāve heard from everyone vary so much that youād think they released 5 variations of the thing.
It is puzzling, and there are some indicators why that may be, such as the ratio of Ace/Ace II receptors in people, and thatās genetically determined.
I know one person who was healthy, active, not even 50, no co morbidities, had covid once, and spent 40+ days in a coma second time he got it, and was supposed to die. His story is here:

I had a friend who had most of the serious co morbidities, should have at least had a terrible experience, and all he had was mild cold like symptoms. He did take some of the supps and such I recommended, but still, I would have expected way worse.
Thatās why I told people all along, not to F with this one and role the dice.
I too know of a few people who caught it where I thought they might struggle, but they shrugged it off like a cold. Then others complained about extreme lethargy. I had release version 1 and didnāt miss a day of work. Version 2 was more pesky, got all of us shooters sick and hung around for over a week.
We know thereās various correlations, such as vite D status correlates well to the severity of disease, but none of them fully explain why some healthy got really sick and some with all the risk factors for bad outcomes did not. Stats are still clear as who is most likely to get really sick and who is not, but there does seem an unusual amount of people who didnāt fit those stats per post above.
Going back to the ālong covidā topicā¦ I still have taste/smell issues from V.1 corona and itās been over 1 year.
Wow, thatās a ālong covidā effect to be sure! No other issues?
Ive had it over two months. Aint worked but one day since 9June.
Been a mother.
None at all. Itās very weird. I get some strong smell sensations, but the smell isnāt correct. Coffee for example. If I open a can, I get a strong smell, but it doenāt smell like coffee.
That sounds annoying, especially if you love the smell of coffee in all its forms as I do.
I have two friends at work with the same issue. They can only sense extremely strong odors, like a opened coffee can, or bleach, or something like that.
I do hope it gets better for you, that just sucks.
Long Covid. Define ālongā. For some individuals long can be as short as 4 weeks status post infection, others the range of symptoms may be months in duration. The symptoms are also highly variable. Iāve seen patients who have had mild complaints of headache and fatigue post covid, to cardiac complications and cognitive impairment due to covid. Most symptoms resolving by 7 months on average.
Did you read the article linked in the OP which also links to the CDC? Yes, obviously it ranges considerably in duration and or intensity between individuals just as the acute infection phase does.
Any conclusive data on long covid affects in the unjabbed vs jabbed?
No. I was commenting on personal experience.
By personal experience I assume you mean personal clinical experience.
From article linked in OP āPeople who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 and become infected may also be at higher risk of developing post-COVID conditions compared to people who were vaccinated and had breakthrough infections.ā
I donāt know how conclusive that is however, but it makes sense. As covid is ongoing, no doubt, more time will tell the magnitude of differences between them.
Gave me a stroke the first time - kept me stuck @ home for 2 weeks the 2nd time
