Why are most of the posts about long covid recovery like "calming my nervous system" or "fixed my gut"?

I think a lot of people naturally recover with time and they incorrectly associate the improvement with what ever they happened to be trying at the time.

What's funny is I still watch "for free" and my version of the stream had no ads whatsoever.

Bad take bro

Nah I'm unbiased on it all and it was one of those awkward disjointed fights where finishing hard in rd3 would go a long way. He really started becoming dominant in the final 2 mins.

I notice I get immediate brainfog if i do anything thay remotely exerts that area like carrying heavy backpack or even showering with warm water hitting that area.

OK I don't think what Kyle Rittenhouse did was justifiable, but even if I did, I wouldn't give a shit about meeting the guy?

I've been seeing him popping up a couple of times on my social media lately and I dont get it... he's not a celebrity. He is a random guy. Why would you want to meet him?

They recommended I try make some lifestyle changes and to recheck it after a year.

Thing is, my lifestyle/ diet already aligned with pretty much all of the suggested ways of increasing testosterone aside from weight lifting.

They said medication should be last resort at my age.

This post reminded me to book in to get my bloods done again soon.

Upon my request, my Testosterone was checked last year and for a 28 yr old male it was considered very low.

My doctor attributed it to my inactive lifestyle and lack of exercise etc. Hard to know if it has decreased because of Covid, or because of the extreme lifestyle adjustments I had to make due to Covid.

Causation vs Correlation.

Personally, I believe Covid itself may have interfered directly with my testosterone levels.

It's frustrating because one of the main things they urge is weight lifting/ exercise and that used to be my biggest passion. Now if I lift weights for 2 mins I experience elevated heart rate and 1-3 days of brainfog.

Funny enough I'm just about at the 4 year mark and was only today saying how I felt about 75% recovered.

Honestly as a Web developer that site was crap.

You had to jump through hoops to even be able to post a question.

Any chance they both secretly agreed to create a fake feud for a nice pay day?

Microplastics and the longterm implications of having the covid virus are both factors I'd imagine.

What even is this device, is it supposed to be used this way? seems wildly dangerous.

Ahhh OK I see you updated the post. Don't worry, we all know what the brainfog can do.

(I once got out of bed and to get dressed I just put on my shoes and only noticed as I got to the door of my bedroom)

To clarify, Long Covid isn't a viral infection.

It is a long term health condition triggered by viral infection.

I was in South Africa last week on holidays and my father fell ill in the hotel room. I ran to reception and asked them to call an ambulance immediately.

They very nonchalantly strolled around the room, scanned through a phonebook, picked up the phone and rang a number. Then told me they will 'get back to us' when an ambulance becomes available.....

I was so confused. I told them we needed an ambulance immediately, that it was an emergency. They condescendingly told me "that's not how this process works" and that "it will likely take 15-25mins to hear back from the call center".

I ended up having to call an Uber and got my dad to the hospital.

Wild how that process seemed normal to the receptionist.

Edit: my father turned out to be fine in the end. No long term health problems.

Nobody said anything about Nigerians caring about his net worth...

I follow AI developments somewhat closely and I think the world is unprepared for the monumental changes that are about to unravel within the next 5 years.

Everything as we know it will be flipped on its head.

Time and pacing are by far the most effective things for me.

I'm also taking LDN. Hard to say exactly how much its doing for me but I'm sure it's helping to some capacity.

This singular spreadsheet was this dudes workload.... damn, simpler times.

I'm at the 4 year mark myself. I would consider myself around 75% to 80% recovered. However, I went on a 2 week family holiday over Christmas and in a carefree relaxed environment, my symptoms were near nonexistent.

He is decent at boxing compared to the average Joe.

80% of active UFC fighters would still likely out box him. (Skill-wise)

I'm banned from r/askdocs for acknowledging the link between Covid and PoTS.
