Long Covid malaise

The Doctor wrote:

According to recent statistics in the news, an estimated 65 million people suffer from Long Covid symptoms for weeks, months, and perhaps years after initial Covid infections.

Having Long Covid could really hamper ones training and racing, and quality of life for that matter. Anyone out there have or suspect having Long Covid? What are your symptoms and what type of health/nutrition, remedies, etc are you doing to improve your situation?

Long Covid is usually blood vessel inflammation (usually capillaries) caused by either a prolonged overreaction by the immune system or (less often) viral persistence in the body.

Fix it by taking it easy during and after covid for a few weeks. Good rest and good food, plus supplements like Pycnogenol and Fucoidan to protect and heal the endothelial system. You can use Nattokinase to break up any clots too.

Ease back into exercise and do Zone 2 stuff to start.

Most likely each time you have covid it’ll be less and less. This same phenomenon happened after the novel Flu in 1917 and also SARS. It’s a post viral malaise caused by the immune system overreacting to something it’s never seen before.

A) 65 million world wide or in the US?

B) Hasn't long covid been shown to be largely a mental disorder?

According to this source it is 65M world wide. I've seen the same number on a few other sites as well (which may be referring to this source). That is about 1 in 125 people, or less than 1% of the population.

Apparently there is potentially 200+ symptoms. Loss of concentration, "brain fog", memory loss are among them. I have not seen any symptoms percentages or rankings. That would be interesting to read about.

long term covid

and there will be a new one soon, no doubt.

these do not exist. their 'victims' are just hypochondriacs and depressed people who don't have enough to live for so their brain invents a task for them to devote their lives to.

Like when you keep a border collie home all day instead of giving it a job...the collie will find work even if it's ripping up all the pillows one by one.

That does not line up with reality. Productive, happy, active people get ill.

illnesses that cannot be diagnosed scientifically? Just via behavior and dr google?

look it's a spectrum. I have zero doubt that people living pointless lives with 18 hours of screen time and no nature or sense of purpose will develop "illnesses" they don't really have, so they have something to do.

You told yourself this when you broke your toe? You're strange but entertaining.

Apparently it’s one of the “symptoms.” Who would have thought?
