I'm an MD working at a fairly large hospital in Massachusetts and we get a lot of patients who show up with complaints about "long covid," some of them desperately seeking help
some of them are people who genuinely had bad cases of covid and it's their first time ever getting really sick as an adult so they don't realize that, when you're not 10 years old, you actually have to rest and getting better takes more than 1 day
a HUGE portion are just people with anxiety disorders, many of whom don't realize anxiety can manifest actual physical symptoms and think we're being patronizing when we refer them to mental health counseling
AND THEN there are the FUCKING IDIOTS who are drunk/high all the time and constantly hung over (or, in some cases, in actual withdrawal stages), who LIE about their substance use, and make our lives harder because schools don't fucking teach kids anymore that binge drinking and smoking weed 24/7 has consequences
and YOU BET YOUR ASS a LOT of these people get angry when we don't have a medical reason for their problems or a pill we can script that will make it all better
I'm about to fucking quit but I have loans
Lord give us all strength
Long covid is just unhealthy people
I feel for ya user.
>I'm about to fucking quit but I have loans
Another midwit cracker slave for jews and niggers.
My wife was a nurse in 2020, and she tells the same story. She saw three actual deadly cases of covid in people with no pre existing conditions, the other 20 or so deaths that she saw were in people with copd, untreated asthma, and the elderly. We both had covid, and had no bad symptoms whatsoever, mild fever for a day and a runny nose.
I also feel you on the loans. I dodged the bullet, but I was accepted to Harvard as a white dude, no small feat, but very little in the way of scholarships. When I did the math on the debt I’d have leaving school, I figured it would take me at least ten years to pay it off and decided to forego college in favor of software dev. I only make 250 a year, but that’s still pretty decent for a doctor who isn’t a rockstar surgeon, and instead of paying off student loans, I have zero debt.
>people with anxiety disorders
I have to believe this is the overwhelming cause of most long covid cases. People don't seem as mentally strong as past generations.
My anxiety turned out to be from vitamin deficiencies so of course I'm going to think the referral to counseling is retarded. It's an expensive waste of social control anyway.
I am unvaxxed and covid got me pretty bad in February
I was still able to work from home, but I was lying down the whole time, and I would go back to sleep as soon as I was done.
I'm also someone who gets sick often, and it wasn't the worst, but it was bad, and I feel like my heart or sternum area has "hurt" occasionally since then in a way it didn't before.
It only occurred after I healed previously (early March), but I've been feeling the pain again. It could also be my slouching shoulders from sitting a lot more, recently.
I forgot to mention that I am in shape. I eat well, exercise my muscles and go for runs regularly with my wife.
>People don't seem as mentally strong as past generations.
A large piece of that is our culture being dominated by victim complexes, praising victims and tearing down success
Correct. Look at all the troons and insane women out there. Karens having complete brain failure over not getting the right order. Fcking wild times
So, eating healthy, getting regular exercise, maybe taking basic supplements to get what you're not getting in your diet, laying off the alcohol/recreational drugs, and having a common sense approach to recovering from an illness "cures" long COVID, huh? Who would have ever thought?
I think it has to do with hyper-evolution selection where agreeable traits were selected for, or at the very least, immune systems which don't cause too much disruption.
>the referral to counseling
this. i tried it out to help with anxiety a few years ago. my therapist was months from retiring and he told me its all become a joke, most of the problems come from the garbage we put into our systems. he said most of these newer psychiatrists just sit and gaslight you until you admit you have the problem they already decided you have.
what sort of imposter made that pokemon card?
Speaking as a zoomie, I had an severe "anxiety" until I did a job that forced me into uncomfortable situations every day. I' not saying I'm amazing in social situations now, but I'm a hell of a lot less anxious. Millenials and Zoomers were way too coddled as children, and that shit has consequences
you can do only 2 of those and cure covid
People (mostly women) have always had neuroses that they experienced as vague physical symptoms. It used to be handled by shamans, then priests, now doctors and shrinks.
The symptoms commonly experienced vary like fashion trends. It used to be paralysis, fainting attacks and nerve symptoms until MRIs proved they were faking it. Then it was back pain until people started assuming you were a junkie. Now it's 'gut issues', chronic fatigue, and of course long covid
Which 2 of those?
any 2
I would think that supplements like vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, and quercetin would help a lot with people fighting off COVID. Also, staying away from alcohol is common sense when you're sick. But Marijuana may actually be beneficial in fighting off COVID. Also, nicotine can help people resist a bad COVID infection.
>i'm a doctor
>part of my job is to educate my patients about health and medicine
>which i spent 10 years learning about, so explaining the most basic shit like "stop being fat" should be literal child's play for me, a med school graduate
>but their lack of understanding is nevertheless their fault, not mine, an expert who specifically sought out degrees and licenses in a specialized field of study and then chose to offer professional services in said field to the lay public
