    Hello fellow Bees. I had covid in 2020 and was a sponsored athletic cyclist who was also gearing up in pre-med classes for med school. Covid fucked it all up for me. Five years out and I still have heart, other organ system, and severe autoimmune issues I never had before. Probably “dumber” too.* This interview is super eye opening.

      I’m sorry to hear that. Have you been keeping up with any of the experimental things people have been reportingly having progress with? I know its very different per person but I thought I’d share this video I saw from someone who recovered https://www.vxtiktok.com/t/ZP8YekavQ/ (sorry its only on tiktok but this vx link should let you watch it without signing in)

        Love the vx info and love the treatment talk. I am on low dose naltrexone which has been helpful but not a cure. I liken long haul to having lyme disease. I have a lot of the same issues. I really just need to find a long haul doctor that has patient openings. They’re all booked here with full rosters. It’s been a ride. Thanks for the suggestions.

        I just had it for the third fucking time two weeks ago. Reading this article really shook me because my heart issues came roaring back this week.

    I got diabetes right after getting covid last year. My blood sugar was over 500 when I went to see the doctor. Luckily, I have it under control through diet right now, so I don’t have to take insulin or medication anymore
