One hallmark sign of a post-covid malaise is that your body stays capable way longer than your neurological and cognitive functions.
While you have expressed healthy grains of doubt, the case of Dianna goes in line with a post-covid progression. Not being able to get out of the bed means that she physically could do it from time to time for sure, but her brain could not reliably cope with navigational tasks, so she was risking sudden falls and further traumatization. Add the extreme fatigue every such exercise had caused. It is not exactly a bedridden condition, you are right, but it is bed-attached for sure.
It is not a "psycho" part of the illness as you view it. It is an organic condition caused by metabolic and immunological derangements occurring in the body of a post-covid patient. You are not alone in your views, many medical doctors make the same judgements when they see post-covid patients for the first time. In their world, it is always an organic/psycho separation, but when the underlying metabolic mechanisms are impaired, you get the full spectrum of manifestations.
You provided good points though, something I did not think about.
- _zagj 2y agoI appreciate you at least responding, but it's clear that you were offended by me expressing skepticism about a specific person claiming to be a COVID long hauler, who directly profits from doing so, and who presents a purported symptomology that contradicts human physiology and exercise science, despite me bending over backwards to be tactful regarding the subject of long COVID. Do you really want this person being your poster child?
- garganzol 2y agoI am not offended at all, mind you. In reverse, I applaud to your criticism because it gives a fresh perspective, so I upvoted your post :) The only mistake you make is believing that there is a significant psy component in it, and that a human body and its biochemistry is a mechanical Newtonian-like macro-world apparatus. Peace, take care.
