One of my dearest friends suffers from ME/CFS - she's been bed ridden for 3 years now. Any stimulation is just so painful her. Seeing Dianna actually able to get out of bed has brought a bit of hope back into my life

Hi, I couldn't glean from the articles. But it sounds like you have breathing issues from long covid? it may sound ridiculous, but I developed gluten/lactose sensitivity during covid times. If I avoid gluten, lactose, canola oil I get far fewer symptoms. I know this likely isn't your issue but I do experience positive airway pressure, coughing, burping, chronic fatigue, exessive yawning. If that sounds like you maybe…
My wife and I got Covid during the first major wave (March/April 2020). I had no symptoms at all, but my wife ended up getting long Covid. GI issues, extreme tiredness, shortness of breath, brain fog, sleep disruption, etc etc. She lost maybe 10-12% of her body weight. After maybe 8 months of this we somehow decided to do a low-Fodmap diet (I participated for support). That included cutting out gluten and dairy (exce…

Anti-inflammatory diets seem to help a lot of people with autoimmune disorders, because a flareup typically stems from stress or inflammation. Removing dairy and wheat didn't do anything for me, though.
I never got COVID, but I had a bad flu when I was a teen in the early 00s, and "new" research suggests that is when my body flipped a switch and now I develop a bunch of antibodies that attack a few systems, but good news is I'm basically NEVER sick anymore (might just be a coincidence, though).

I’ve had it for a few years too, it’s really hard, hang in there! If you want another thing to try, I found that temporarily wearing a nicotine patch [1] helped a lot. But it seems like it doesn’t work for everyone. [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36650574/
I do not have full statistics, but people who smoke cigarettes are less prone for developing post-covid, according to the statistics I have. My immediate thought back then was is that nicotine somehow plays the role of NAD (= B3 vitamin), thus fixing one of the core mechanisms of acquiring mitochondrial dysfunction after the covid (NAD deprivation).

It's interesting to me how COVID vaccine skepticism has persisted so long despite the evidence the vaccine was safe and effective. All the nightmare scenarios and long-term side effects people speculated about never happened and more and more doses of the vaccine have been taken safely.
A close family member has permanent heart failure caused by the first Covid booster. They now go to the top heart hospital in the world. The doctors there say that while nothing can be proven for certain - obviously - the timing of their booster and the onset of their heart symptoms and the fact that there was no indication they had Covid at the time all point to the high probability it was the vaccine. And they’ve s…
My shoe was loose before my booster and became untied after I got my booster.
There is a high probability my shoe being untied was caused by the booster.
As /u/tunn3l said at the end of their comment: To all ME/CFS and LC sufferers: Don't give up!

Because the poster said that he had covid 3 times despite the shot.
It's not a prophylactic, but it can significantly reduce severity of symptoms as well as the chances of getting long COVID.

If you advertise/recommend something it is your obligation to make the case for it. Not for the reader to research it. We should want this board to keep its high information value, not devolve into low information spam.

Anyone who suffers from what? Why is St John’s Wort good for it? I will never watch this type of video, but it sure does sounds like whatever affected @physicsgirl was awfully serious if it left her non-ambulatory for multiple years. It sounds like maybe you’ve had a positive experience that you might be willing to elaborate on?

This is what you are saying: My shoe was loose before my booster and became untied after I got my booster. There is a high probability my shoe being untied was caused by the booster.
What I'm saying is:
There were no signs of viral heart damage before the booster, and then there were signs of viral heart damage immediately after getting the booster.
People in this thread don't seem to know what viral heart damage is and how it differs from heart damage caused over time by unhealthy habits. It's a one time burst of damage, unlike a chronic and progressive heart condition caused by high cholesterol, etc. It's easy to identify.
If there is damage from the vaccine, it makes sense that it would look like viral heart damage because the mechanism is the same.
