Exercise struggles since Covid?

I’m currently experiencing the same thing. It’s so frustrating and I definitely feel your pain - all I want is to feel like myself and be back to my baseline

The only thing long about covid are these threads

How many doses of the jab?

Yep, me. 5 weeks

I have had 5 covid jabs and have never had covid. I feel great. Best shape of my life. My brother-in-law is a hard core anti-vaxxer, who preaches endlessly about keto/paleo diets, call(ed) himself a "hybrid athlete", can give you a lecture on vitamin D that will last 30 minutes, was a big muscle dude, low body fat etc. However, he got Covid bad. Was sick in bed for three weeks, was tested when he broke down and finally went to the hospital because he was having a lot of trouble breathing. He has been unable to workout/go to the gym for over 4 months. Has lost a lot of muscle.

Ok champ - go ahead and explain to how his long covid is vaccine related, then explain why I am setting PB's after 5 shots. I just set a 5k pb of 15:07, great for me. Lets here it. the OP didn't mention a vaccination, you just pushed that agenda - go head - push it on me. Lets here your explanation.

Because you got 5 shots of EPO like Zane Anderson did instead of the covid vaccines

*Meant to say like Zane Robertson

OP,

I'm in the anti-vaxx camp, but long covid was occurring in 2020 long before the vaccine became available so it's obvious that long covid exists.

There's a sub-reddit for folks like you. I think it's called long haul covid or something like that. Check it out. You can also find a treatment protocol at the link below from the FLCCC.

FWIW, my sister got vaxxed twice in 2021 early 2022, but she didn't go any further since she had severe reactions to both jabs. She got covid later and now has long covid (long vaxx... whatever). She says resveratrol really helps. (It's mentioned in the FLCCC protocol.)

I noticed several references to the Jarrow brand lactoferrin recently on the reddit forum so you might consider adding that. Lactoferrin is pretty neat stuff. Read up on it.

If you decide to try any of these treatments, post back here and let us know if they helped you. We are mostly lifelong competitive athletes here. We're so many standard deviations away from the "average" person that modern medicine doesn't know how to treat us when it comes to not just getting well, but getting back to exceptional fitness.

We're on our own when it comes to things like this. Best of luck

I knew who you meant, that story was sad. His life has really only gone downhill since then.

Hey - Retacrit is a Pfizer drug - maybe little Danny boy can tie Zane's demise into a big pharma argument too. Maybe the start of a whole new conspiracy theory that can help make little Danny feel important?

Why would your undermine yourself like that? Not a single thinking person will take you seriously now (which was already very hard to do).

New study out finds mRNA produced proteins in "long covid" sufferers. You have permanently changed your DNA (or something) so that your body will always produce what makes you sick. Literally, you are making you sick.

This took about 5 seconds to find. lol

And another from the Journal of Medical Virology:

Your brother in law. Right. I heard about these people throughout 2021. It went something like this:

My cousin's neighbor has a friend who knows a guy who was unvaccinated and got Covid really bad. That guy was in good shape and always working out and he had to go to the ER because of Covid. He could barely breathe.

Can't you do better than a pathetic tired old saw ?

That's literally every post you've made for the last 3 years, except in reverse. Take a good hard look at yourself.

OP was dumb trollbait anyway. 2/10 for getting (entirely predictable) comments.

Wait. So you were sick and think you can automatically bounce back? What fantasy land are you in? Especially if you have long covid. I mean seriously. You know long covid exists then you essentially ask if long covid has long term effects.

"Only two weeks to flatten the curve!"

"Trust THE SCIENCE!!"

Back in the 1980s, for many years, I had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) which can have symptoms very similar to what some are calling long covid, including even moderate exercise causing severe debilitation. After healing, I ran a CFS support group. Some people reported developing CFS after an acute illness.

Decades later, I had chronic exposure to mold (specifically high levels of Stachybotrys chartarum) which was above the ceiling and behind the walls in a long-term house rental. This type of chronic exposure can cause damage to the mitochondria and exercise can cause debilitation (similar to long covid). In my case, it was an acute illness that was the straw that broke the camel’s back and the symptoms became debilitating.

My point is I think there are a variety of issues that can *contribute* to long covid like symptoms and a significant acute illness can bring those symptoms out.

I suspect that fully healing from long covid symptoms will require a multi-faceted approach similar to what many have found successful with CFS and chronic mold poisoning. Your average healthcare practitioner is not trained in these areas in my experience.
