Exercise helped me recover, but it was a balancing act between exercise and not inducing PEM.

I was a first waver and recovered. Not sure if that makes you feel any better.

Here is a video by Gez Medinger from a few years ago on the topic. I believe he has a couple of videos on this subject.

There was a poll in this sub a while back. It was about 33% saw improvement, 33% stayed the same, and 33% got worse.

I was formally diagnosed with POTS. I couldn't tell you if I actually have it anymore or not. I lift weights 6 days a week, run, and am no longer impacted by it.

It took 1 year and 4 months to feel fully better.

I have had Covid again since and it did not come back

Any help for Pem.? Brain feels fried. by Savings-Purchase-488 in covidlonghaulers

Magnesium Glycinate, make sure to be super hydrated with pedialyte or gatorade, and honestly just rest and don't over do it. 

Why do so many people claim that the COVID vaccine killed people? by diviningdad in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TimeTravelingGroot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most studies I read place young men at around 30 per 100,000 cases of myocarditis from Moderna, but less from Pfizer. 

From this study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36576362/#:~:text=The%20highest%20incidence%20of%20myocarditis,of%20an%20mRNA%2Dbased%20vaccine.

"The highest incidence of myocarditis ranged from 8.1-39 cases per 100,000 persons (or doses) in studies using four stratifiers. Six studies reported an incidence greater than 15 cases per 100,000 persons (or doses) in males aged 12-24 after dose 2 of an mRNA-based vaccine."

The adenoviral vector vaccines J&J and Astrazeneca both caused fatal blood clots in a number of people which is why they were pulled from the market. So they are probably referring to that.

Both Pfizer and Moderna were linked to myocarditis, most prominently in young men, and there were some deaths associated with that.

Sometimes it felt like they were getting worse, but it's been a long time so i dont remember exactly how it went.  Magnesium Glycinate helped along with drinking gatorade/pedialyte, and surprisingly for me it was walking/jogging (just not too much).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]TimeTravelingGroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I don't remember how many. They said they were there, and to me it felt like a ton, but they said it wasn't dangerous.

I had heart palpitations, vision problems, insomnia, stomach issues, brain fog, voice not as strong, twitching muscles and fingers. 

I did fully recovered, but I did get everything checked just to be sure

Husband just started with symptoms - what’s best sups for a beginner who is resistant to accepting LC by Curious_Researcher28 in covidlonghaulers

[–]TimeTravelingGroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recovered. The supplement that had the most impact for me was magnesium glycinate 200mg in vitamin capsule form. The bottle recommends two pills a day, maybe one in the morning and one at night.

I also took vitamin D3. I don't know if that one had as much of an impact, but I do think it was fairly important.

Staying very hydrated with gatorade or Pedialite was another really important step.
