Post-COVID Recovery is a Paradox

Your determination sure sounds good to me. I was at the place you seem to be at…and by doing what you are doing to have made extreme progress. I don’t know. What your symptoms are, but I can tell you I am totally functional dealing with the residual symptoms…the fatigue being the worst and some others that are rather bizarre. But I’m convinced if I get the cytokines/histamine under control then I will be good to go. I will read the article you suggested. I don’t stop reading and researching the subject. Im on basically all the supplements you mentioned plus about 25 additional ones. Again all my tests are normal…which is good news. But I have to get the cytokine craziness conquered. Most of the doctors don’t pay attention to the things we are discussing. But your holistic approach , I believe is where the answers are at. I hope your body is in a speedier healing mode than mine, but don’t slow down in beating the attack…2 1/2 years into this, I’m dedicated to saving my own life. Im not intimidated by any doctors. I know myself and what I can do. I hope you incorporate some form of exercise. You don’t have to”push it” but you do have to move even if it’s a walk around the block. I go nowhere without my mask. I am totally paranoid about getting illness let alone Covid again!!!
Wishing you well….Hoping for good news you can share with all..

I have for years tried to research and find a natural remedy for health problems if at all possible so having long covid is no difference. My symptoms are:
First symptoms I remember was fatigue and tremors in my head, Lightheaded, Difficulty concentrating; confusion, shortness of breath & Tightness in chest – after exertion but can happen when sitting, Palpitations once in a while – not often, Total weakness after exertion, Full throat, Blood in feet and ankles looks like they are all bruised- after standing for a
couple of hours, Heat bothers me and can set off symptoms, Nausea and stomach pain, Stomach pain if I eat a lot at one time or eat much at all in the evening.
Many of my symptoms are gone now but I have terrible problems with post exertion malaise; breathlessness, full throat and tight chest, head tremors/vibrations.
I am following the John Hopkins Recovery Program for exercise and recover. I have found that I can do more exercise if I do 5 minute sessions at a time throughout the day. I will try walking outdoors tomorrow for 5-10 minutes and see if my symptoms come on.
I have also tried to remove all high histamine foods from my diet -- or at least as much as possible.
Just trying to do everything and hoping something works. But I am better today than I was a month ago so that is progress no matter how small the step.
