Man Down

[454Redhawk]

Something happened to me yesterday that has never happened before. I am suffering with Long COVID which has wrecked my cardiac and pulmonary systems. Myself and another guy we transferring a 300+ pound transmission/transfer case from his truck to mine. My arms, legs and back suddenly began to lose strength which forced me to set it down and fade to black. Lights out. I woke up immediately, less than two seconds, and realized that I was on the ground. Anyone with Long COVID had this happen to you?

 

[eveled]

Sounds scary. Prayers sent for your health

FWIW, my cousin suffered from long covid and swears tumeric saved him. I think he made tea with it.

 

[Shotgungibbs]

WOW! Please take care of yourself! Prayers from Ohio!

I'll try anything at this point. I have no energy, no stamina and my muscle tone, what there was of it are pretty well done at this point.

Dr. Peter McCollough (the wellness company), has been developing treatment for long C, and removal of the spike proteins... maybe look into that......
Also Dr. Robert Malone.... he developed and patented the mrna technology.... but not in support about how it was used.... has also been working on fixing the mrna "vaccine", problem....
I am unjabbed, but I have family members who are in the same boat as you... so far none in my family has followed my suggestions.... but it's worth a look....

Went to ER a few weeks back for pretty much the same thing. Docs still haven't figured out the cause.

 

[protoolman]

I got the first two jabs and spent the last year after getting COVID anyway the same. No energy, no drive, no stamina, bad depression etc. I think I'm finally getting a bit better. No drugs, no solution here to offer though. If you figure out what works I'd like to know too. I've just tried to eat healthy and keep exercising.

 

[ArizonaTea123]

You need to get rid of the spike protein ASAP. I have friends that are now on oxygen daily because of the vaccine, not Covid. They carry oxygen machines with them, slung around their neck, battery operated.
I keep telling them it's not long Covid but long vaccine. They refuse to believe.
I got Covid on Christmas Eve. Within three days I was back to normal, I just couldn't taste or smell anything. Fever lasted two days.
I didn't get vaccinated. I fought it with hydroxchloroquine and ivermectin. I've had the flu that was much worse than Covid.

Had it when it first appeared. Going to a hospital was signing your own death warrant back then. No one knew how to treat it, so I made my own way with med kits. Took almost a year of my life and almost died twice.

Ok, so it can leave a bunch of "gifts" even when it's done. COPD could be one, brain fog caused by constant low oxygen feed ( this can clear up, but it takes a bit). Some folks can get anxiety attacks for no reason. etc. In your case it could have been an oxygen drop. Your body kinda sorta gets used to a lower oxygen level, but during strenuous exercise it crosses a boundary and you lose strength then go night night. You should have one of those little finger meters to keep an eye on heart rate and blood oxygen levels. A can of Boost or similar oxygen in the truck isn't a bad idea. This is not a nothing. It's dangerous as hell. You said " I AM suffering..." -present tense. Stop playing manly man and take it slow. If you don't......

All of that is if it was caused by LC. Could have just been a sugar drop for all I know. I am only speaking from my own experience. I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV.

On sale right now on Amazon Black Friday pre-sale.

My wife and I each have one with us and in the car. We check our 02 all the time.

↑ That's a good thought!

My son and his wife both got Covid in the first year. They bought one of the finger oxygen sensors, and he sent one to me. He said if your oxygen gets below 90% you're getting in trouble, bad! I still check it from time to time.

Have you started taking any new meds in the last year or so? My Dr. called in an muscle relaxer Rx for Tizanidine. In several months I'd taken about 6-7 of them with no issues. One day I took one about 9am. Within about 30 minutes I felt the life draining out of me. I was falling fast, no strength--nothing. I could barely walk.

I was in a highly agitated state and took my blood pressure. It had dropped like a rock! It was caused by the Tizanidine. My Dr. called in my Soma Rx to a different pharmacy and they filled it pronto. (That's a long story)

Check your blood oxygen level and your blood pressure. Rack your brain for any relatively new meds you're taking even if OTC.

I sure hope you get it squared away!

I had it in September of 2021. I thought I had bronchitis and a sinus infection but I finally got so weak that I went to an urgent care. I have pneumonia and COVID. They were adamant that I go to the hospital if I didn't feel any better by the next day. I did and avoided the hospital. At the same time I had it they were burying a close friend who died from COVID in the hospital. That was the last place I wanted to go. I have all the classic symptoms; shortness of breath, fatigue, no stamina, tachycardia and depression/anxiety. I monitor my BP, pulse rate and O2 daily. My O2 has never dropped below 96 and my medicated heart rate is 90+-. Unmedicated it was better 140-160. It's been 4 years and hasn't gotten any better.

Thanks for all the support guys. It really means a lot. You guys are great.

I'm not the healthiest specimen....many ortho surgeries, my head and legs are basically attached by brackets/screws, knee replacement, and my back is supported with metal brackets/fusion along with my right side sacrum and there is the heart disease and cancer.....I never took the bogus jabs even when threatened to lose my job because of it......I never got this covid thing. Everyone I know that got jabbed got the covid thing more than once. My Son was fine until they made him get jabbed so he could take his class trip to Germany...he came back with what was diagnosed as covid. My Wife was diagnosed with covid twice. My Daughters both had it twice, my Son in Law twice and my Grandson once. Many friends and coworkers were diagnosed with it, I was basically surrounded by the thing.....yet I never got it. Although I know of a few that said they had it to get the mandatory 14 days off. Many were scamming it, and we were not allowed to investigate it as fraud. But then it wasn't considered a OSHA Recordable Incident of Workers Compensation claim. I'm not saying covid didn't or doesn't exist. Everyone gets a flu now and then.

I'm sorry OP is hurting. I never even heard of Long Covid. Whatever it is hope you find comfort and get better.

Too many folks trying to diagnose you with their limited knowledge...
You need to see a doctor.... I had the same thing happen to me, except for the passing out, back in 2019.... had nothing to do with covid... or the vaccine or what Trump, who has less medical knowledge than me says, my main artery was blocked... just saying.
You need to see an expert.... this coming from someone who did not go to a doctor or nurse for over 35 years......and then one night they saved my life.

 

[Johnnu2]

Praying for your complete recovery. Once again, I'm the odd man out (stress odd :-).
I had ALL the Covid vac shots with no problems... I was OLD at the time too (81 now). I did notice an uncontrollable desire for Chinese food, but nothing beyond that. GET WELL BROTHER

I hope the OP takes this advice to heart. Don’t take medical advice from the gun forum, go see a professional.

Why bring Trump into the discussion? TDS much?

454 RedHawk I’m kind of in the same boat I had Covid in 21. And just this year they have told me that I have pulmonary fibrosis. I have some medicine and an inhaler to try to slow it down. I’m also found out that I cast cast bullets any more so I’m trying to figure out how to sell my molds some of them are new since Al at noe is retiring, but I can still buy coated ones and shoot them

 

[Peter]

Sounds like what I had a couple of yes ago, but mine was due to fluid overload, one does not get good O2 exchange when one has 3 plus litters of fluid throughout your body. It ended on morning on the way to work when I got pulled over for "DUI" (cop realized not all drunks are drunk!). I was basically semi-passing out behind the wheel (sound formular?), but any way I ramble!
Get to a doctor, have them check Cardiac function, including but not limited to a stress test, and pulmonary function. What it sounds like to me is either low blood flow to the brain or low O2 saturation in the blood causing you brain to tell your body you needed to lay down (ok, fall down but as soon as you fall you are usually darn close to laying!!).

I carry a pulse oximeter with me always. With COPD I need to know what is happening NOW. In through the nose then 'blow out the candles' through the mouth. There have been times that after strenuous activity I have dropped into the mid 80s. Sit and get myself back to normal is the required move. This is now.

Hi, I have been a RN for 55+ years, and a Naturopathic Doctor for 23 years. I had COVID in Dec 2019, not severe, a bad cold that lingered til Feb 2020. Fast forward to Dec 2021, I was having bouts is shortness of breath. Less than 5 minutes. In mid Jan 2022, it was bothering me more often, and had my PCP do a EKG. Yep, I was in complete heartblock (the atrium beat at one rate while the ventricles beat at another rate). I went to a cardiologist on 02/09/22, who promptly said I was in a Rt bundle branch block with a First degree AV block. I couldn’t walk but 5-10 steps before feeling like I was going to black out. I was sent home(I live alone) with a return date of 03/31/22. Come 02/14/22, I woke up with an Heart Rate (HR) of 21, and and Oxygen saturation of 76%. Off to the ER, and got a pacemaker on 02/15/22. I suspect long COVID. I was already on Tumeric for arthritis, since the pacemaker I have been on Nattokinase. I finally got my pacemaker sorted out, changed cardiologists, and am doing my own cardiac rehab. Good luck to us all!!!

Man that sounds scary take care my man

I got my first injection 2 weeks before I got COVID. You were definitely smart to not take it. My GF is in health care and pushed me into getting the jab. Worst mistake of my life.

I was a cop for 30 years and have called rescue or carried folks to the fire/rescue department for diabetic complications. I had 1 kid that I'm certain would have died if I hadn't recognized that he was diabetic. I had the dispatcher notify rescue that I was on the way and where to meet me. I carried him directly to the fire/rescue department. They checked his glucose, 12. He was really close to a coma. Those are the things that made the job really rewarding.

 

[jav]

We always got the jab except for this year I will do it once a year not twice . They said some new stuff is going around so we need to do it again no thanks never got it knock on wood but the wife got it once that’s it

I'm with you there, and I've never had covid.

 

[ArizonaTea123]

Take this as you wish, but I can speak from my own personal experience.
I used to regularly get a flu shot, at least once a year, because my doctor told me to.
I also regularly got the flu, which one time left me bedridden for a week.
I met a chiropractor/ homeopath/ naturapath/ ayurvedic practitioner that told me to stop getting the flu vaccine, so I stopped.
Have not gotten the flu in over 20 years. In fact, never got a fever in 20 years except when I got Covid three years ago. How do I explain such things?
The only "injection" that I have received since 2015 is the pneumococcal vaccine from the VA.

With that being said, I have friends locally that got both Covid injections and all the booster injections. Now they are having heart issues, BP issues, cardiac issues that did not exist before they received the spike protein injections.
I'm not a doctor, your results may vary, do not attempt this at home, caveat emptor.....
