Long Covid: The lingering effects, five years on • FRANCE 24 English
On the March 17, 2020, France, like many other countries around the world, went into lockdown as Covid-19 rapidly spread. Five years on, many infected by the virus still suffer symptoms, a condition known as Long Covid. Complications vary, but often include exhaustion, muscle ache, regular fevers, heart conditions and difficulty concentrating. Some sufferers have seen their lives turned upside down, having had no choice but to give up work and face family members who question if their illness is “real”. In this edition of Focus, Gaëlle Fonseca and Claire Paccalin met with Long Covid sufferers and specialists at the Clinique du Parc near Montpellier searching for answers.

It is so much about pacing …… a tiny little bit …. and then a little bit more tomorrow . Taking lots of immune system support ….e.g. Zinc , Vitamin K2 and D3 , Vit C , Quercetin , NAC etc…. No masks ….. they prevent your immunity from developing ……. Breathe fresh air ….. do gentle breathwork , meditation . positive affirmations and a few more steps every day ….. then rest …… then a few more etc….. AND avoid Wi Fi , computer and cell phone ; use minimally ….. I have healed my ME this way ….
Long covid does exist arteries go pop pop pop, and it's time to rest. For me ; healthy vegan diet, a river of chai, suntanning, careful light garden work now 😊, achieve self care each day.
Long Covid keeps you sick in your chest and stomach, makes you lose weight, and gives you a lingering weakness. It’s a constant strain on the body. It’s real.

Covid 19 crosses the brain blood barrier causing micro bleeding. “Long Covid” is simply neurological damage. Blood vessel damage impacts the autonomic nervous system. This is widely known. POTS is also a very common result of having Covid.
Like HIV in the 80s; just because they haven’t got a test doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Despite what governments tell us and what would like to believe Covid is still rife. With every new infection the chance of morbidity increases.
It would be helpful to find out their vaccination status since it now appears we have a "Long Vax" syndrome.
Part of it might be POTS. Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia. Wear compression stockings and shirt. Get assessed with a tilt table test. Take heart meds if appropriate. Massage the vagus nerve in the neck when feeling feignt. Vitamins that help: NAC (N-acetylene cysteine), B vitamins, Alpha lipoic acid. Deep breathing helps everyone. Praying for you.
New research shows that nicotine will help with long covid. Not cigarettes the patch or gum. Nicotine in its natural state from plants is an herb.
I have suffered CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) for almost 50 years. I have been homeless for 15+ years. Doctors are idiots. This is all about Democide. Social Cleansing of undesirable citizens. The medical industry will just hurt you.
