Is it just me or do other Long Covid suffers read headlines like this one and think:
“No shit Sherlock! Welcome to the party. We’ve been telling you this for yearsssss.”
Followed immediately by gratitude for scientists investigating Long Covid to someday lead to treatments.
I have learned that Metformin works great against Long COVID
Remember when they said lime disease was fake, you can't trust a Medical system that's based on money.
You need these studies to confirm that Long COVID isn't "in your head," because you know a lot of people think that.
I think most of us just hope science catches up and pushes the politics to do something.
Oh, so that’s why Tim Kane voted to end the shut down. He’s not corrupt. He’s just brain damaged like John Fetterman.
A lot of Maga welcomed covid.
I have had increasingly worse memory issues 😔
I'm glad more attention is being paid to this. Not enough though.
Medicine has always been very slow and behind the times. They do not give enough weight to anecdotal evidence.
New study out of south Africa may have more answers.
Exactly
I’ve come to terms that I’ll never be the same. People just dismiss me when I reference long Covid.
It's almost like having repeat heart attacks and debilitating brain fog followed by being abandoned by a cold and uncaring society would do those sorts of things, yes.
In finding cure, most important is understanding of the root causes. There should not be any taboo subject in searching for root causes, yet there is one.

Yup basically lol
#GreatAltText
Yes!
If they had listened to us from the very beginning, we wouldn't need this self-evident headline.
I had the OG strain December 2019, then covid again May 2021, and again December 2023. The OG covid messed me up the most, and each subsequent time the symptoms compound themselves and grow.
I knew it!
Covid set the human brain back as an entire species. I knew it!! We're idiots.
Not just Long Covid sufferers my friend. Those of us with M.E. too. I have 40 years and counting. I wish they'd listen to the REAL experts for a change. US!!
Hang in there and stay strong. You aren't alone!
I've had it since 2020. I also have fibromyalgia so yeah life is a surprise every morning. What's gonna hurt me today ?
I've had Long Covid since early 2024 after my one and only infection of Covid December 2023. It's a cardio vascular and neurological condition. Yes, Sue, "No shit Sherlock!" Yes, gratitude for all the research.
I'm under the care of a brilliant Professor of Neurology who is kind and compassionate
Lead poisoned serial killers 2.0... and this time it's personal.
Yup
When my son, who has MS, first read about the symptoms of Long Covid, his first response was "Cool. Apparently Covid can give you MS." I think he was pretty close to the truth. I am so sorry to all of those who suffer.
If only we all had an individual baseline functional brain MRI before covid to compare with current brain MRI. It would tell the story. But that ship has sailed so, we will never know the what and how in our lifetime.
I think they have to publish things like this to counter the bull that politicians and MSM come out with.
It's a repeat of what happened with MS in the 80s and 90s.
Long COVID - lol.. probably MRNA induced damage.
I had noticeable Long Covid for 2 years. Brain fog, fatigue, difficulty breathing, if I got a cold, my immune system would over react. I never went to a Dr. about it bc $$$. My ADHD feels like it’s gotten worse, but not sure if it’s related. :/
Exactly, no shit. Who with LC wouldn't have experienced it
Meanwhile the big mainstream Media ignore all this and the people don’t want to hear about it anymore
✋️
No such thing as Covid it's the Bio Weapon so Bollocks.
Yup..
Magnuts who caught covid suffer from "long stupid ". Incurable.
Hubs has had long C for a yr. It’s not so much today’s symptoms that scare me as much as 20 yrs from now. Mom had polio at 13, and by 85 her spine had curved so much she couldn’t stand. she died 2 months aft her legs turned black. Study this NOW, noone knows what long Covid will look like in 20 yrs
Long Covid is so strange. Days I feel good other days I can’t concentrate and forgetting things.
I'm hoping it gets classified as a full blown disability so it will qualify for all the disability things.
I had a stuffy nose for two fucking years. TWO.
I already had bipolar disorder, and long covid makes it worse.
Mild cases are damaging to the brain. We should have had a real president in the WH when covid raged.
Sounds like they are pulling apart and defining more nebulous terms like "brain fog" in ways that might be more concrete and more easily studied. Terminology-->definitions-->study-->(hopefully) treatments
Kennedy doesn't get the Covid shot because he likes his food wild and dead in the forest. Covid shots may interfere with his digestive process.
I never got sick with Covid, but man... The aftermath is FUCKING ME UP.
No shit Sherlock, indeed.
Good thing it's all a hoax according to some people who are also clearly fucked up from it, yeah? That's some reassuring news is what I'm told to believe by them. 🤷♂️
This and peri to menopause at the same time Fucked me UP!
Hopefully this can help someone
Yeah I have it to some degree after I got Covid in march. Absolutely shite
My friend who already struggles to survive Lupus—has long COVID as well. She started Monjaro—not for weight loss—to help her inflammation and so far it’s helping her live a better lifestyle.
It's not just you.
I just hope most of them are MAGA…
The fact that Covid seems to attack specific genetic information in specific cells is highly suspicious. China??
Since 2020 it feels like we stepped into a different dimension where people don't care about each other and world leaders make the most illogical decisions. Maybe it was always this way and I just didn't notice.
Covid is a disease process unleashed upon the world by ignorant Donny.
I've never had it myself but I've noticed this in most people, as most have had covid, and I recognize most of the brain and organ damage things from seperate brain and organ damage causing issues I've had since before covid (and other people I've known before who have had issues too with stuff)
Peace to you. A dubious welcome to the same vibe for research on long haul Lyme's Disease.
Jokes on you science! My depression already did that!
The ME/CFS sufferers have had this 'it's all psychological' shit for decades. In the UK the main man pushing tgat view, Prof Wesseley, has been appointed a government advisor 💩
I do get very annoyed at the lack of a) listening to patients; b) building an international research hub so that researchers stop re-discovering what is already known and c) re-purposing existing drug treatments. Low dose naltrexone is giving me back my brain and memory.
One idea...the People's pharmacy did a quick story some months back that found green tea can protect the blood brain barrier (coffee had no such effect). I sometimes mix matcha with yogurt and eat it a couple hours before bed. It seems to make me more mentally alert when I wake.
Yup.
I'm right there with you all and just plain tired of explaining any of it to people. And tired of asking doctors to take me seriously.
No. Scientific "theories" and "studies" are fake hoaxes imposed upon us by Satan-worshipping Big Science. True medical knowledge comes from our feelings and Jesus.
There was a time, not so long ago, when it wouldn't have been necessary to label this as sarcasm.
/sarcasm
I feel a little bit "yeah we know this by now it has been studied 272727 times. Another study showing there is damage does not change anything at all. Can we start focusing on solutions instead"
I’m wondering if it’s just Long Trumpism..:
Actually brain heals itself too so getting better but takes plenty of time. It reminds much of being in an accident and getting a concussion
They are about 5 years behind us!
Rep just this week asked me what long COVID is. My jaw dropped.
I read articles like this and think about how some (not my) family members called covid a nasty cold. That my husband was 24 hours away from being on a ventilator means nothing to them. That I have struggled every damn day with long haul issues since Feb 21 means nothing to them.
The science is indeed far from being settled. news.yale.edu/2025/02/19/i...
A small number of people report chronic symptoms after receiving COVID-19 shots. A new study provides clues for further research.
Yikes. I had omicron covid. Then got covid again in 2023. I have no breathing issues at all. And didn’t when I had Covid. How does one get tested on the rest like brain fog and memory?
I feel like we don’t say “no shit Sherlock” enough these days 🙂
I respectfully implore anyone who finds the headline of interest, take the time to read the full study findings. Learning and knowledge cannot be summed up in a single headline. Knowledge is knowing the why and how not just the what. It also makes discussion much more interesting and powerful.
Duh
Fucks up the immune system as well
Imagine having had ME for a decade when covid hit, and seeing the whole world at risk getting your underestimated disease and then realising they just gave it a different name...
At least there's improvement in ME research since the pandemic, before we were outcasts and just called lazy.
