Thank you for using this opportunity to get more info about LC and POTS out into the world. We all want to be functioning members of society and have meaningless, purposeful lives (even though we aren't Olympians... so cool!), and we need people with platforms to speak up. Any way we can get the Olympics involved in helping with this since this is a global issue and clearly affects even the most athletic humans? Also, I was wondering if we're planning to send a question/ comment or attend the upcoming NIH meeting. Again, we need voices like yours to help all of us be heard. Info: NIH to share RECOVER-TLC updates during November 21 webinar The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) will host a webinar about RECOVER-Treating Long COVID (RECOVER-TLC) on Thursday, November 21, 2024, from 2:00-3:00 PM EST. A registration link with Zoom information will follow this announcement in the coming days. NIH leaders will: Discuss the current status of RECOVER-TLC Share information about potential Long COVID treatments to be tested in RECOVER-TLC clinical trials Answer questions from the public Anyone can submit questions or comments in advance by emailing [email protected]. Audience members will also be able to post questions to presenters live during the webinar. Please consider joining us o reddit to see LongCovidHaulers and help us pull resources/ skills/ platforms to make the reality of this visible. Doctors are gaslighting us. People are getting sicker. People are ignoring this global issue. Thank you!!! -Mel (from USA)

Thank you for talking about this!

Thanks for this video. I was a healthy, very active 30 year old. Now I have long covid and POTS, and am in a clinical trial testing IVIG treatment. I've had long covid for 1.5 years and it has completely changed my life; I'm barely able to leave the house most days.

As someone who has had POTS for years pre-Covid, I am so sorry that you're having to go through this, but the silver lining in this awful situation is that there's a lot of really good research going on. I wish you the best in your ongoing improvement, and I really thank you for bringing attention to your situation. Stay strong!

Beautifully honest and free spirited review! Really cool!! Handsome is what handsome does!

Best of luck dude👍 been dealing with this since January now as a track athlete in college. I’ll be following to see if you find any success with these treatments.

Many hbot are soft and work at 1.5 atms. This is not enough, you need the submarine like hbot at 3 atmospheres. For me the effect was spectacular, i got better on my the breathing problem after the first one, and i had no additional benefit after the second one

Nutz just plain 🥜

Unfortunately Medicare won't pay for this treatment. Treatment in Arizona is expensive and limited.

Dude you should try NAET it helped me get prob like 90% back to normal, i still get over stimulated and have chronic constipation tho. so if anyone has overcome that let me know lol

Thanks for sharing this, it’s really important to get the word out about this preventable disease and how much people suffer from it. I got LC at 21 and I now need to use a wheelchair.

Hello, what kind of laser speed gate do you use to check your times?

👍

Do you have post exertional malaise?

Thank you for sharing. I had a bad case of covid in the fall of 2021. Then about 9 months later the long covid symptoms came in like a flood. There was brain fog, loss of appetite, lethargy after exertion, joint pain and finally a rash across my shoulders and neck. After much research I realized that many doctors in other countries had treated covid with a simple molecule that can be made by a cheap water treatment used for camping and hiking in wilderness areas. This water treatment uses oxidation to kill all the pathogens in untreated water. It's also used in about 50% of the water treatment plants here in the U.S. So it's perfectly safe to drink.Because it creates more oxygen in the body it boosts your energy while destroying the cause of illness. I noticed in your video that your doctor had you in a hyperbaric chamber. That treatment is used by Dr. Pierre Kory in his 3 tiered approach to treating long covid. It's used as a last resort because it's so expensive, but he says it's the most effective. The water treatment does the same thing for pennies. It floods the body with extra oxygen. Once I made the decision to try this unorthodox approach I ordered the treatment and tried a couple of light doses. The next morning all my symptoms were gone. My appetite came back. My brain fog was gone and I had energy. My wife who has been a nurse for over 30 years was astonished. She had never witnessed such a rapid turn around. She has worked in home care, hospice care and the hospital setting. She now has her doctorate and teaches at university. It should be mentioned that this same molecule is used to clean up ebola and anthrax contamination. It was used to decontaminate buildings after the anthrax attacks in Washington D. C. and it's used at ebola treatment sites to decontaminate workers and the site. This treatment has been around since the early 20th century. During WW1 a Nobel laureate doctor ( Dr. Alexis Carrel ) used this to treat gangrene in soldiers sent back to hospital with shell fragments imbedded in their limbs. This may be the first known use in medicine. Shortly after this our health care system changed to an almost exclusive pharmaceutical approach. $$$$$ I hope you find the answers you are searching for.

Believe me when I say the only doctors who can help you are the ones who suffered from LC themselves and recovered.

I have LC since May 2023. I’ve been confined in the hospital 3x last year. High heart rate, low blood pressure and PEM are my worst symptoms. I hate when people take covid lightly and joke about it.

Thank you for this

Been dealing with this for nearly 3 years now, good luck fam.

"...I'm lucky to have..." what many people don't have. Don't spread this disease.

Thank you for posting. This is really tough. I wish you the best possible outcome.

They're horrible, horrible, horrible. A North American window gives you an infinite range of openings, from a 1/2 inch crack to 15 inches or more. The European style gives you ONE option when you tilt it inward, if that's too much, too bad. Also, to open these inward means having at least 3 feet clear in front of a window, no furniture, nothing, because it swings inside and needs a lot of clearance. Also, how do you install blinds on a window that then leans at an angle with the blinds swinging open at the bottom? Lastly, I have beautiful enameled window art (Frank Lloyd Wright) which is meant to be hung on a window frame. Can't do it in Europe because when you open the window, just like the blinds, the whole thing swings forward and is liable to break. You can't put anything on the windowsill (like your plants, duh) because the window has to swing inwards. Truly the worst possible design anybody could every have come up with. Perfect for Communist Eastern Europe. Terrible for the modern world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for speaking out! The vax injuries and long covid ate REAL and we need the medical establishment to work to treat them instead of pretending these don't exist!!! We are hurting and can't get doctors to say what's wrong so it can be treated instead of merely "managing" symptoms. .

Have you tried Low Dose Naltrexone? It did help me for a while, but had to stop due to annoying side effects. I have been dealing with Long Covid for 3 years. So frustrating. Good luck and thank you for your videos

Don’t know anyone is watching but paris, this is how a village should look like.

Sadly didn’t help with my PEM

Thank you fornsharing your story. As someone who's not Olympic level active but still very active, this sucks. It sucks for everyone involved, everyone supporting someone going through it and just... yeah. You're not alone, but thr voice you carry is helping out more than you know. Although I hate that you're going through the battle, I appreciate you talking about it. It's no joke.

Thank for your sharing this!! I also got hit with Long COVID after an infection Dec 2023 and have spent a majority of this year focusing on getting to a healthy baseline. So many folks don't know about LC so appreciate you being open about your journey 🫶🏽

24 years later in my case, mecfs simply kills quality of life. simple things, like reading books has become to much and difficult. when one used to read 1500 words a minute that kinda hurts.

I’m here after Paris dropped the ball on accommodations

Long Covid messed up my music career, I’m two years in and just now getting back to my career somewhat - it can really stop any life in its tracks. I wish people would take it seriously. These surges could be curbed if people would consider putting on a mask. Less people would suffer long term. I know mandates will never work again because of how we’ve demonized it at this point and mask bans are popping up all over the country. This is a serious public health issue.

I’m also an athlete (not Olympic level). One infection is all it took. It’s been 2.5 years and I’m nowhere near the same person and in some ways getting worse. I’m absolutely astonished at the lack of response around LC. Clinics are not much help and doctors offer nothing. Constant feelings of doom throughout the day not knowing if I’ll ever be well again or even have treatments to attempt curing these issues. I know there’s some out there worse than me(thephysicsgirl) and it’s heart breaking to see

Thank you for sharing, I'm sure it hasn't been easy for you to (for now) let go of your goals. I am currently about 2 years in and home bound. Please keep sharing if you can, too many of us are too sick to speak up for themselves publicly. All the best on your healing!

you can’t imagine how much I appreciate your choice to share it widely. And I promise many other LC sufferers feel the same way - grateful that you opened up and long covid issue will get more attention!

Very important video, thank you for sharing your Experience with this hell. All the best to you.

Nathan it must be so gutting to see how the Olympics turned into a massice cluster for fellow athletes due to mass disinformation about covid, and the French government's absolute negligence. Many will develop Long Covid I expect, especially those competing sick and putting their body through enormous stress while harbouring an active infection. Thanks for making this video. Hang in there. (Side note: covid vaccine immunity is very short, as is the immunity acquired from an infection. If y'all havent received a booster within the last 4 months or so, you are *NOT* "fully vaccinated")

Thank you so much for sharing your story as it's so important to bring awareness. I'm wondering where the ~5% of Long Covid patients no. come from, as I've seen estimates between 10-30%.

Took a year to get over it during 2020 and still got post exercise issues. Don’t let it define you

Thank you for sharing your story, it’s important for people to know anyone can get LC. I’ve shamed and blamed myself for not being fit enough before getting covid but it helps me to know the strongest of people struggle too

Thank you for this. I got it March 2020 and have PEM and Ex Intolerance since , hopefully more eyes on this can help us all. Will be subbing and keeping up with the journey.

anyone watching this, i promise you are not in better shape than an olympian and are not immune to the effects of repeated covid infections.

I did 3 months of HBO twice a week with no positive effect.

I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry, and I so feel for you. I don't have long COVID (I have basically isolated myself and been masking since March 2020), but I have Dysautonomia and POTS, which are basically what a lot of people with long COVID are getting. Wishing you a good recovery. I can't imagine how hard it must be to be going through this as an athlete.

That's why they're trying to sweep it under the rug because money is more important than health.

I feel a big plugg comin'. There is up to date very little evidence that HBOT structurally will counter LC.
