Long Covid Diaries - A conversation with Amy Butterworth

[@philiphoover5364]

The gratitude part was really inspiring 👏

[@Richexperience1]

Great interview. Interesting insight. Thank you both. It’s so hard. I’m so burned out. I’ve spent my whole life pushing myself and it’s so hard to stop. 4 years in and I’m still struggling. Like Amy I’m working on stop fighting and acceptance which is something that I thought I would never do. For those interested I got LC before the vax existed. I took the vax a year later in hopes of a cure and it made my symptoms permanently worse. I have been taking mass amounts of supplements. The only direct help has been methylene blue and Photobiomodulation which helps energy about 10%.

Absolute pleasure. You’re not in this alone.

Anyone get dizziness / depression badly

[@chriswerge]

I’ve struggle with depression pre pandemic but I know that in long Covid there can be a disruption to the gut micro biome causing knock on affects to serotonin production.

[@chriswerge]

I can’t speak on the dizziness but look into POTS and dysautonomia. There are disruptions to blood pressure and heart rates with blood vessel damage that may explain that symptom.

Absolutely vaccine damage 🤨

[@nickyshep444]

Symptoms started after the jab? Hello guys the elephant is in the room?

[@chriswerge]

It’s possible but how does one determine symptoms from the acute infection vs what damage the vaccine may have caused?

[@turtlefromthenorth]

@@chriswerge At this point there is a good change we never will. The few control groups we have are countries with very low vaccine rates; in some areas you will find insular religious groups, like the Amish that didn`t take the vaccine, a few in the alternative camp opted for so called natural methods. We know viruses are dangerous, they have always caused very similar fatigue and health symptoms like long covid. Part of the problem is it seems any issue with the vaccine is actively ignored and explained away. From my point of view; if you ever get a condition with diffuse symptoms like this and there is no simple treatment, the best way is to seek out steps that have a chance of strengthening your body, you immune system in general. It is the body along with the spirit that will have to do the work. It opens up a vast field of alternative and experimental practices, some work, others don`t.
