Most doctors, when they don't understand something, say "it's just in your head". Instead of admitting that they don't know, they inflict additional pain on sick people.

[@WithLoveAshley]

Yes, and waaaayy too often!

[@CBD0000]

I know how meaningful it is to be told that they don't know, but willing to listen and listen and listen and document and document and research and research and research and listen. Too infrequent. There is so very much to our bodies and medical staff can't know it all, but to acknowledge someone can be comforting. What was described here is just some of the things that Fibromyalgia throws at you. You can look fine when you're not fine. My heart goes out to everyone everywhere.

Always take responsibility for your own care and keep pushing for answers move on to another doctor if you get BS answers from the first second or third doctor these guys are not infallible and often overworked and just in it for the money and really have no interest in patient care this is the reality of the American Health system.

[@TheDevilWearsMAGA]

@@rainmon Not just in the USA. Over a period of 4 years I consulted 17 doctors in 3 European countries before an illness was correctly diagnosed. 12 doctors told me to "think positive", 4 said they didn't know. The last doctor I saw had had the illness himself and could diagnose it. I was unable to work for almost two years, got bankrupted and was left with permanent physiologial damage.

I totally relate to this story. I’ve been dealing with “Long COVID” for about 9 months now. It caused Fibromyalgia and I hurt all day every day. Life is totally different now. I can’t do the things I used to enjoy and it’s very very upsetting and frustrating. I’m 40 and most days I feel like I’m 80. On top of it all I think the worst is the short term memory loss issue. It’s been getting worse. I sometimes forget what I’m saying as I’m talking. And yes the only ones that seem to understand are those of us dealing with it ourselves

Wow, I glad I stumbled onto this 60 minutes video and all these responses. I had covid a year ago now. I was in the hospital for almost 5 weeks. I was intubated for 7 days of that 5 weeks in the hospital. The nurses were telling me I was going to die. I didn't thanks to many, many prayers. Jesus heard those prayers and brought me through. But....I'm having long term affects, aside from the "normal" things like memory loss, and forgetting words, I have developed high cholesterol and I'm pre diabetic. I'm now on thyroid meds for hypothyroidism. I had none of these problems before I got sick. Prayers to all of you that are suffering post covid. Hang in there!

They have the most research done on pain in the world and address it in some really diverse ways. See if you can get yourself into the program, it seriously changed my outlook on life.

There may be some natural parasite cleanses on the market? Also take vitamins NAC, D, C, zinc, perhaps a probiotic. Spend time sitting in the sun.

I'm an American living in Malaysia. I just recently (2 months ago) had Covid and the symptoms described in this video are what I am experiencing now. I was feeling numb hands, dizziness so I feel faint, swollen sore knees (so I can't squat to use our squat toilet or kneel for praying). I also felt tired and weak. So, I started intermittent fasting, taking B vitamins, cut down on sugar, and started eating salads for supper with live active-cultured yogurt to improve gut health. This caused me to drop some weight and I started doing 15 min calisthenic workouts. I take it easy and do what I can on workouts and walk 20-30 min every day. I've gotten stronger and the hand numbness is gone. Still, I do feel like my heart rate is abnormally high and my head sometimes feels as if I have mini strokes or imbalance. . Hard to explain...it's like something is crawling inside my skull. It's why I do low impact workouts. I'm 60 and my parents & grandparents lived long lives 90s or above 100. As a stock broker I anticipated living into my 90s so I focused on saving money to last. Now I think I won't live so long with this feeling of mini strokes so I think I should spend my retirement savings. I know we never know when we will die but these long haul symptoms make the possibility of death, sooner than later, feel real. So sad that the doctor passed away. 🙏

# Ride the wind. Yes I think you're right. Radiation from technology! Cell phones!

[@abram730]

That has been known about since 2019. Most Doctors in the USA are clueless, and lost. The virus targets the Endothelium leading to apoptosis of the cells. This raises Angiotensin II levels and reduces Angiotensin-(1-7). That leads to more damage to the Endothelium. The destroyed Endothelium allows von Willebrand factor to spill into the blood causing clotting. The virus also targets red blood cells using CD147 as opposed to ACE2. The virus should bind to the 1-beta chain of hemoglobin dislodging the iron used to carry O2. This causes hypoxia(lack of oxygen in the blood) in addition to the blood clots that lodge in the capillaries in the alveoli of the lung. If the red blood cells begin to rupture(lysis of erythrocytes), the free heme then binds to von Willebrand factor, preventing it's breakdown. The iron is also a factor. The resulting clotting cascade can be so severe that anti-clotting drugs don't work and the heart explodes due to the blood turning hard. It is doing the opposite of Ebola that prevents clotting. Also viral bound Porphyrin could be infecting cells without ACE2 or CDE147 receptors. The virus is also targeting T-cells like HIV. They need to look at CoViD-19 AIDS, as half of those without symptoms have a suppressed immune system and are being eaten alive by the virus. The immune system causes people to feel sick, so not having symptoms can be due to having AIDS. This virus has inserts from Measles, Mumps, HIV-1, SARS, MERS, and rabbis. It does seem to usually need a high initial exposure dose in most people to get a fatal case, but many will never fully recover.

Rest In Peace, Doc. Prayers for her family and for all of the families that will be missing loved ones this holiday season. 🙏 Stay safe, everyone.

I'm currently dealing with COVID syndrome. 6 weeks off work with no sign of when I'll be able to return. Started off with upset stomach, cough, aches and pains then tiredness and fever, diminished appetite, and hardly any voice. Then a rash on my hands and knees every two days for a fortnight. My voice has practically gone, I'm walking very slowly and can't go far without being exhausted. Things I love doing takes me longer. When I asked my GP what can he recommend apart from electrolytes and rest ...nothing as they don't know enough about it. Had bloods done ...perfect, lungs, blood pressure and pulse ...perfect. Time seems to stand still and becomes like groundhog day, utterly fed up. Hoping all those going through this recover, no one deserves this.

After all the tests come up 'normal', your doctors will be stumped and may possibly think it's psychosomatic or "all in your head" and grow annoyed by you. From then on, they may be more dismissive of any other issue you bring up. They may also make a notation in your medical records that you are a hypochondriac, so other docs will be dismissive as well.

To be fair, those with panic attacks can experience physical symptoms. With nothing else to point to, it’s the default explanation.

[@lindyashford7744]

@@Jack-gl2xw it is one of the worst things that can happen when you are experiencing these kind of symptoms, people do not have continuous panic attacks, by definition panic attacks are temporary. Medicine and science should not be dismissing people with such symptoms and conditions, it should be listening to them and working with them. Patients are not there to get diagnoses that shore up their medical professionals insecurities, they go to their doctor for help and to find out why the physical issues they are experiencing are affecting their lives so badly.

[@TsukiNaito1]

@@lindyashford7744 That's not entirely accurate. Not all anxiety sufferers have these dramatic "panic attack" events. I myself have had GAD for years and have only had 2, one of which was a reaction to medication. Anxiety can also cause some persistent physical symptoms--headache, fatigue, general pain, dizziness, rapid heartrate, etc. And they don't just hit and go, they'll stick around for a while. Might leave you desperately trying to find ways to relax just to feel normal-ish again. Sometimes events that feel like emergencies or symptoms that seem like chronic illness really can be anxiety.

[@lindyashford7744]

@@TsukiNaito1, I agree with you in one respect, but the point is that patients are getting told they are having panic attacks, not that they are anxious. Anxiety conditions are ongoing but what is being described by people is not the same. They HAVE a condition they know is physical, they go to find out why they are unwell and their condition is dismissed on the basis of being a panic attack. Even when they are not anxious but are feeling unwell. It is tantamount to saying you are a hypochondriac, and is a kind of put down. I was told this on presenting with breathing difficulties after what could have been a brain event. I was told it was a panic attack, then later when symptoms continued I was given a fibro diagnosis, even without the signs that normally fall into the fibro category. Nearly a decade later I was diagnosed with Atypical Parkinsons and actually I DO have an old infarct that could have been a brain bleed or similar. The default position is to shove you into a box that says MH issues. I had a friend with MS who often got treated like this too, she regularly had to undergo resuscitation due to eosaphageal spasm, and emergency room doctors don’t do resus for nothing. Yet doctors would happily discuss her MS as a ‘functional disorder’ which is medical code for ‘all in the mind’. I feel for you in your suffering from GAD, I know others with it and worked for a while with people who had acute anxiety, but what I and others are describing is different. It is beyond bad to be treated as if you have a behavioural disorder when you are finding that you cannot put one foot in front of another and your quality of life is plummeting. Hopefully now they will start to recognise that they do not have explanations for everything yet, and far from being at the peak of medical understanding there is still a long way to go.
