Covid Long Haulers and Repeat Covid Peeps....Let's Beat this Thing!

5,000 iu am and pm.

thats not near enough, at 10,000, iu it is most likely being used almost instantly, for vit D to be most effective you need to saturate the blood with it. If he wasnt supplementing with at least 5000 iu a day for about 4 months BEFORE he got sick, his 25OHD levels wont be high enough to offer any sort of help. you should do 50,000 iu per day for a week or two. It sounds like a lot but most of it is used up and the body retains some of it. The idea is to flood the body with enough to be used but for some to be left to begin to saturate the blood. then drop to 20,000 per day for a month, then 15,000 for another month.

The sun really helped me.

I had symptoms for months and it was pretty bad at it's worst (shortness of breath, heart/bp issues and others).

I was on zinc, vitamin c, d3 and nothing was really working, and the only thing that I changed was I started getting some sun, usually at least 30 minutes each day.

Within a few weeks I was almost 100% again, able to exercise and everything.

I'm sure you've thought of this, but since the magnesium is giving him stomach troubles, what about soaking in an Epsom salt bath for his muscles cramps/aches?

Yep. He's a shower guy. Thinks it's creepy sitting in his dirt. So I convinced to shower then bathe with Epsom salts. Lol.

And really, this isn't just about my hubby. I want it to be a help to others as well.

And yes, I am geocentric so I think my realm has effects on others.

Thanks for the pin!

Docs are prescribing HCQ with doxycycline to people with possible heart issues. Its the zithro that has heart side effects.

Ok. We can do that. We live in the country and I make him go in the Sun as well. But we'll up the vitamins.

NOTICE :

If a GLP member bans you from their threads, you can still one-star their threads.

That's what I'm going to do to OP's threads.

Yep. It is actually a good thing I think that he has been sleepy because Zithromax side effect of breaking tendons and “stuff” lasts for months. That shit should be banned.

Yeah, me too, helped a lot. I'm still having issues though, are you?

Worst thing is these tight neck muscles and panic attacks.

I also have respiratory issues but I smoke a pack a day so that doesn't help.

You should think about quitting.

I don't have covid but I wish everyone that did get restored back to health soon

Those are some pretty high doses.

5,000 iu a day should be plenty imo and you probably shouldn't take more than 10,000 per day. I don't think vitamin D is as toxic as a lot of people say. But there is no doubt that at some point it's too much and can cause serious problems. It's not water soluable, so excess is not excreted in urine like many other vitamins.

This Dr. explores some theories about what's causing this.
Elevated cytokines?

Relatively short and worth a watch for anyone suffering long term symptoms.

First off, I know there are a great number of people who think Covid is total bunk. Please don't bother here. Soon enough, you or someone you love will experience it and you will accept that it's an actual thing. So, please just move on. I'm going to monitor the thread and won't tolerate a bunch of bs flags, etc.

What I am interested in is actually addressing the problem and finding solutions/ameliorating help in fighting against reinfection or continued effects of having this Chinese bioweapon hitting our bodies.

Yes, this is personal. My husband has this, and it is debilitating to him, hence to me. I'm going to run through the ramp up to getting the Covid diagnoses, and then the symptoms that he is still having over a month after knowing what we are dealing with.

In mid June, he began to get a sporadic stinging-shooting pain in his upper nasal passages. About a week later, bouts of diarrhea in the morning, and a dull constant headache set in. Then a congested feeling in the sinuses, kind of like allergies, but allergy meds didn't touch it. Then the dry cough set in followed by serious exhaustion in 4 days and shortness of breath right on it's heels.

Symptoms of Covid usually become strong, if they are going to become strong, after about 6 days from the first presentation. We'd been doing a home baked prophylaxis with 100mg of artemisinin and zinc among other things, and I believe that slowed the manifestation of symptoms down. But it wasn't sufficient to stop the thing.

We'd been being careful, but in our area, most people believe it is a full on hoax still. So in general, people conduct themselves the same as before Covid 19 came into being.

At any rate, he has RA, and probable Lyme, so we took precautions as those maladies make one more susceptible to getting this in a more dangerous fashion.

I believe there are things we can do to mitigate the damage. But I still have a great number of unanswered questions.

First off, will a regimen of HCQ along with zinc help to combat the effects of the long haul? Can it help to mitigate reinfection?

Also if you don’t mind me asking: what blood type is your husband and what blood type are you?

Below, I will post his continuing symptoms, and what we are trying to do to help prevent more damage to organs, and mitigation of symptoms.

But I'd like to start kind of a think tank here, and get the people of GLP working together to help address the 1/3 of people who get Covid that deal with the "long haul syndrome."

Please chime in if you or a loved one has had Covid and share what you are doing to address lingering symptoms/effects of this.
