I'm pretty sure I had long COVID for about a year and I'm just getting over it. I felt slow and dumb as hell, all of a sudden I'm wittier and I can remember to do things.
Glad to read that! I know some folks that got long COVID and they are yet to make a comeback. I'll share your comment, it gives some hope 🫂
Is there anything you can think of that made a difference or it's been just a matter of patience?
For me, it was getting regular sleep and drinking less. It didn't have an immediate effect, but I slowly came out of the fog and realized I could remember things easier and workout without getting short of breath.
That is great. I guess since the virus has different effects on people the ways out of it (or at least long COVID) are also multiple. Take care!
tl;dr: Yes.
What we found is really undeniable: It’s very clear in our data that reinfection contributes additional risk of long Covid.
...kinda.
The interviewer goes on to ask: "Does that risk add up, or does each roll of the dice stand alone?", referring to whether subsequent COVID infections increase the risk of long covid. To which Ziyad Al-Aly replies: "That's really hard to answer."
He goes on to speculate (his word, not mine) that there can be two outcomes of COVID infections:
So in a broad sense, the above TLDR is true because your lifetime odds of getting long covid go up in a way that is vaguely proportional to your number of infections.
But it is NOT proven to be true that number of infections correlates to your odds of getting long covid during any one particular infection.
B-but natural immunity!!!
"LONG COVID IS A LIBERAL CONSPIRACY! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
-GQP probably
"Long COVID isnt real" is basically the mainstream position
We have moved to https://lemm.ee/c/collapse -- please adjust your subscriptions
This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
