Long Covid recovery success story - also many sources of information [View all]

Note: This is not mine, Casey is a UK citizen (socialized medicine, not predatory for profit American medicine).

I have been very immersed into this Long Covid topic recently, since apparently I have it now

I was shocked to learn that over 65 million people globally are currently suffering from various severity levels of "Post Covid Condition" and over 400 million have had it since the pandemic started.

Basically there are five categories of symptoms, which are not mutually exclusive:
Extreme fatigue, depression and anxiety, GI issues, cognitive impairment, heart and respiratory issues

Good introduction to this topic:
https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/long-covid-symptoms

I will be following up on some of his additional information, as well as (hopefully) interacting with a Long Covid Program here in my area. If there are any DUers here reading this, lmk with a comment if you'd like me to post progress updates as I pursue a cure and recovery...

Regarding Casey's 12 minute video...

This video was very informative and helpful, both for ideas and emotional support (anxiety and depression is one of the joys of this affliction).
