I cant imagine having kids with this condition. It must be heart breaking

[@estaisadore6188]

How powerful...is your testimony...God bless you and your family...thank you..soooo much.

[@loriwall4981]

I also suffered from long Covid without even knowing what it was.. thank God, I recover, but at the same time I did not recover… I truly thought I was going crazy and it is such a relief to know that others are going through this, but at the same time so terrible because I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. The complete brain fog kept me from concentrating on my work, which was very important due to the fact that I was in the legal field and people depend on you.. the bouts of depression were horrible.. I also at the same time was going through the loss of my mother, and a very difficult break up.. finding a medical team was virtually impossible because no one knew or really still does not know the effects of this, so I am just thankful to have a forum of people to be able to speak about this.. I’m not even sure how I came across your KZbin channel but trust me when I say I needed it just at the right time and I’m one of your other videos you had said to look up.. and for that, I am thankful.. so many of us are going through even more trials and tribulations than ourselves.. all I can say is God bless you all and I will send out constant prayers because I truly believe that’s why God is keeping me alive today..

Thank you so much for sharing 💝 What would I do without the Lord? Romans 8:18 Romans 8:28 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 2 Corinthians 12:8-10 1 Peter 1:6-9 James 1:2-4 Hebrews 12:1-11 🙏

[@1955dmb]

So glad I found your channel. So much practical and spiritual wisdom. I think I have a mild case of long covid. Nothing compared to your situation, but still discouraging. What I really hope your viewers will be left with after they watch this video is that regardless of what happens in this life - if we believe that Jesus paid for our sins through His blood sacrifice - we can receive hope, assurance and peace through our trials. We tend to put so much emphasis on getting rid of our trials when that is not something Jesus promised us. He promised to be with us through our trials. He has already overcome the world, so we have a very bright future! And that is not to say we don't ask for healing, we don't seek help, but that He will be with us. He does not want us to be frightened and dismayed. I don't we naturally think this way. We have a survival instinct that seems to override being at peace with our circumstances. I learned this from my precious daughter when she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, just two weeks after she gave birth to her one and only child. She was only given 10 1/2 months to live after her diagnosis. But on the very day she was diagnosed, I think she knew she would not live. She fought hard for our sakes, but she told us she was spiritually ready if this was God's plan for her life. I certainly was not ready for this and prayed so hard that she would be healed. At that point, I did not consider being called Home - being healed. I was heartbroken that God might not let my daughter live. But now I have a very different heart about such things. First of all, I am very enormously blessed to know she is with the Lord. But secondly, it gave me a much more balanced view of the meaning of this very short time on earth. Whether we live 10 years or 100 - there is barely a difference compared to eternity. We have been given an opportunity to choose eternal life. So, our most important focus has to be learning to know and love the Lord. The rest of our responsibilities will fall into place when we establish our faith firmly. The world tells us that we need a big career, we need to acquire big homes and toys, we need to send our children to big universities - all distractions from loving the Lord our God with all our heart and loving our neighbors as ourselves. We don't begin to learn our lessons until we seriously aim to love the Lord our God. I think I learned to fear Him more than love Him and I still struggle with the proper balance. Thank you for spending some of your energy on doing these videos. You have a wonderful testimony and I trust you are making a difference. You are to me!

[@JenDez-2017]

What an encouraging testimony! That is perspective that can only come with eternity in view 💝. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to comment again - it's a blessing and an encouragement to me. Romans 15:13

[@1955dmb]

@@JenDez-2017 Thank you for that verse! What a blessing! Praying for your continued recovery. I truly believe we are living in the last days and God's enemy is going to do his best to discourage us. But we are with Christ who has overcome the world! I'm so glad I could encourage you a little because you have this gift in fullness! I hope more and more people find your channel so that they can be uplifted as well.

[@loriwall4981]

I never knew that this pots thing was a thing?! There are sometimes where I feel like my vision is affected or just the exhaustion kind of like just being outside of myself my normal self who I know.. i’ve had Covid twice now, and I really feel the first about is what triggered this. The second one knocked me down. Has anybody else out there experience this because I swear to God in the last four years my wife has not been the same.❤

[@foreveryours717]

Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve had covid 3 times so far. My cardiac issues and lots of other odd symptoms came back after the third time. Can you share which vitamins you take for long covid?

[@JenDez-2017]

Of course 😊 ! I'm no health professional, this is just what I do, but I have no idea how they might interact with other meds 🤷‍♀️ I take selenium, liposomal glutathione, vitamin C, zinc, quercetin, vitamin D3, and "Spike Tri-Support" (I found that last one on Amazon, I'll attach a link to it below. I like that it had Nattokinase and Bromelain which one doctor recommended for breaking down the spike protein in Covid). I pray that the Lord greatly blesses your faith as you wade through these trials. His grace is sufficient. 🙏 (2 Corinthians 12:8-10) Temporal, earthly healing isn't always God's will. Sometimes He refines us and assured us of our faith through our trials (1 Peter 1), He disciplines us and produces the peaceful fruit of righteousness (Hebrews 12:1-11), He gives opportunity for the presentation of the Gospel (1 Peter 3:13-17, 2 Timothy 2:10), He teaches us to look toward the eternal things rather than temporal comfort (2 Corinthians 4, Colossians 3:2), and He works out His plans for GOOD in every circumstance (Romans 8:28, Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:18) www.amazon.com/Spike-Tri-Support-Nattokinase-Bromelain-Turmeric/dp/B0CCWZC4Z6

I love your intro Jen it's so cute. I have to find a different doctor. I feel the same way you said you were having in the beginning. Today I just feel really dizzy and lose my balances. I haven't been able to taste or smell. Maybe I had Covid? I can't remember things either. I have brain fog. I did have the congestion in my chest but it didn't hurt. I also have very blurry vision. I also all of a sudden have peripheral neuropathy in my feet. It hurts and I can't feel my toes.Wow you really had it bad, I am so sorry.You have been through a lot. God Bless You 😭🙏❤

[@JenDez-2017]

Man, you're really going through something Tammy! 😪 I had the neuropathy too! And I got these lightening bolt zaps in my toes that hurt sooooo bad! Do you get those? I've heard that Covid messes with the nervous system. 😫 I pray that you can find some answers, and that in the meantime, you'll rest in the sovereign arms of Jesus. Proverbs 3:5-6

[@TammyA165]

@@JenDez-2017 Yes I had that too. Mine now feel like if I don't wear socks it feels like there is crud all over my floors and there isn't. I have a doctor that doesn't want to fine out why he just wants to give me meds or send me to a pain managment. I am searching for a new doctor. Thank you for the prayers and I am praying for your family. 💞

I hope your long Covid symptoms diminish as time passes and with medical research they find more ways to treat it. I get a lot of brain fog and loss of thoughts and I am only 46. This never happened before until after I had Covid with memory issues which is probably the most common symptom of long Covid. Take care!😁

[@JenDez-2017]

Man! Brain fog can make you feel like a whole different person. I feel for you! 💝

I suffered with long Covid for a year but gradually my body healed through prayer x did you have the vaccinations

[@JenDez-2017]

Watch the video, I answer that 😉

[@JonCurtin]

@@JenDez-2017 time stamp?

[@JenDez-2017]

@@JonCurtin my apologies! I'm sorry. Perhaps I didn't answer in the video. I thought I addressed that specifically, but as I was re- watching, I didn't hear it. Please forgive me. The answer is, I sometimes react strongly to medications (anaphylaxis and ICU for days) so I opted against getting it.

[@mimirose71]

Curious, did you get the vaccine or not?

[@JenDez-2017]

I didn't. I'm allergic to many many meds and have been in ICU with anaphylaxis. I only take meds if absolutely necessary, so I opted against it.

Long-term COVID is real so sad. My heart breaks for you and our government did this for millions of people. They caused all this heartache illness. They need to be held accountable crimes against humanity and especially with the vaccine.

Can I ask if you were vaccinated? I just found your channel. 🙏

[@JenDez-2017]

I was not. I'm highly allergic to many meds, so I opted out of it. 😊 Thanks for taking the time to comment AND for being so courteous in how you asked. There are many who assumed I had gotten it without asking.

[@ritastutler1470]

@@JenDez-2017I got so sick after my second vaccine I probably won’t do another. People get upset but I was asked yesterday to take a pneumonia shot. I just said I have too many reactions to vaccines. My second Covid vaccine my temp was 103, my head felt like someone struck my head nine times. I got a ring of rash around my stomach. I was so sick. Luckily it passed in three days.

[@ritastutler1470]

Dear Jen…Gosh so weird you showed up in my feed…no not really. Maybe God knew I needed you today. Some days are good for me, others not. I need to be content for the good times. I used to walk three and half miles with a friend not so long ago…she is now doing four and a half miles. I can not be jealous. I walked down the road to see my neighbor who had brain surgery yesterday and cleaned house. I love you share your faith. ❤❤❤ I pray you get better and better.

I can't tell the difference between the SLE lupus and long covid since they both have all of the same exact symptoms. I have both of them the SLE lupus makes my lungs burn with a burning lung feeling when i breath and i get short winded and can't yawn and my oxygen level will get low it's very uncomfortable, i have to take prednisone and methlyprednissones 4mg to relieve the lung discomfort and bring up my oxygen level i take lung meds that lupus is attacking my lungs it caused me to lose both thyroid glands. My aunt died from the same sle lupus i had, it attacked her lungs and destroyed them she was on the highest level of oxygen before she died.
