Got Covid in May 2022. Long Covid is mostly gone, with a few lingering effects. I worked with a physical therapist and a doctor at DC Integrative Medicine and they both were very helpful. I had severe fatigue and also a lot of gastro issues. The physical therapist taught me how to manage my energy and the integrative medicine doctor did a lot to help my stomach. Between the two I slowly built my energy back up and physically am mostly back to where I was. The brain fog also hugely improved and while I’m not quite as sharp as I was, it’s not noticeable to anyone but me, really. Wishing you the best of luck. For me the 9 month mark was a big turnaround. |
Let's assume that's true. Lots of things occur more frequently in women. Historically that's been treated as justification for minimizing and mocking those conditions. Is that your argument here? Fascinating that you have nothing to say about being wrong about the whiteness angle BTW. Doesn't bode well for your answer to the question above. |
How many of those other conditions are strongly associated with pre-existing anxiety? |
Good point. And I'd add that actually the PP said her mother died of long covid (the topic of this thread), which she most certainly did not. She said her mother contracted covid in December of 2023 and passed away in January of 2024 -- that means that her mother did not have long covid. WHO says you need to suffer symptoms a minimum of 3 months after the onset of Covid to be diagnosed with long covid. |
Oh honey, this "study" is going to be whiter than a Trump rally. |
These are two different posters. I am the second poster who noted that long covid skews toward women because that is very clear in numerous surveys/reports. I don't remember the racial/ethnic data in those studies so I did not comment on that. |
PP again. One source is the CDC's Pulse survey. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/covid19/pulse/long-covid.htm It asks if respondents have ever had long covid. 21% of females said yes, 14% for men. So strong skewing toward women. It also has racial/ethnic breakdowns. Same question: Asian 12%, Black 13%, White 18%, Hispanic 21%. However, if you look at numbers of people rather than shares, the number of people with long covid are predominantly white. |
This study shows the difficulty of getting reliable estimates of long covid. Of the respondents who tested NEGATIVE for covid, nearly a quarter nonetheless reported having at least one long covid symptom. When long covid symptoms include fatigue and trouble sleeping (as they did in this study), many people (with and without covid) report these symptoms. |
Why should you have had to have covid to have long covid? Where's your imagination? |
Look, it's the term-of-endearment poster dripping with stupidity as they try to sound clever. When will she go away? Never. When will she stop it with this "sweetie" and "honey" stuff even though it makes her sound old and cognitively challenged and bitter and ugly? Never -- she will sit there typing away in her Talbot's clothes with her thinning hair and lack of any real human contact typing away condescension and ignorance forever. So I won't say "go away" because she won't, lol. |
Someone woke up on the wrong side of their cats this morning. |
Look, a cat reference intended to be nasty. More of what passes for wit from the Talbot's with thinning hair and an IQ at the leftish top 'o the bell crowd... |
So does autoimmune disorders. What’s your point? |
Oh, THERE we go. Bye. |
Just like that! |
