I had long covid back in early 2022. It was not fun, despite being fully vaccinated and being extremely fit(run 20+ miles a week etc). It took me 3 months to shake the symptoms and I tried everything. Vitamin B IV injection(helped a little with splitting headaches I constantly had a month after covid). Vitamin D 5000iu daily, Fish Oil supplements, Zinc(had to stop from stomach issues), even tried MSM with Tumeric. I felt like alot of them did not make that much of a difference, taking NUUN(a electrolyte supplement seemed to work in fighting the fatigue and headaches). Glad there is something out there that finally works well.
- psychphysic 3y agoI don't think 3 months to recover from COVID is considered long COVID. 12 weeks to recover from a viral illness, is unfortunately not special. I believe most definitions are 12weeks+ WHO definition is 3 months from onset with symptoms for at least 2 months (so there could be a brief recover period after which symptoms return). If it took you "3 months to shake the symptoms" you wouldn't meet WHO criteria.
- subsubzero 3y agoso I contracted covid jan. 1st 2022, and was having symptoms in april of that year, I actually was admitted to the scripps long covid clinic, so I guess it was a bit longer than 3 months, memory was a bit fuzzy during that time. The Dr. who I saw at the clinic said on the scale of long covid symptoms mine were on the milder side, I couldn't imagine what moderate or severe would be like. Equally frustrating was the lack of tests that could detect it. The Dr. readily admitted this issue and said it made people who were suffering sometimes feel like imposters due to tests showing anything concrete.
