Post COVID-19 Care 

I wanted to share Dr. Klimas that your advice here has been the only advice many of us long-haulers have received by a physician that is relevant to our illness. Many of us, including myself, have been gas-lighted by our PCP because many are so unprepared to deal with patients like us. They want to have us screened for illnesses like cancer they are more accustomed to treating. We are frustrating for them and they do not want to deal with us because they feel helpless. Your advice is spot on and has helped me. I am still dealing with it but I know I am better than many others because of this video. Thank you.

I've had M.E for 3.5 years. This is THE BEST podcast I've listened to on M.E

Thankyou so much for this. Something about listening to a knowledgeable person talk calmly about steps to recovery helps calm me.

Best advice I've received for post covid cfs thank you x

Awesome and practical information... All covid long haulers need to watch this excellent video.. Thank you Dr. Klimas!

Thank you for this timely and excellent video as well as the ongoing work you've done for so many years to improve the lives of so many.

Excellent video and information to explain the fatigue due to the cell energy levels being conserved to prevent cell death and the need for antioxidants and plus reducing inflammation. It reflects be what I have been doing for post COVID-19 be supplements by with the NAC. I am also doing alpha lipoic acid for the nerve pain plus fish oil, flax seed oil, and the curcumin. Move Free Advanced for the joint pain. I will add the CoQ10 ubiquinol version. I did the one enteric adult or baby aspirin when I had Covid and was worried about micro-clots blood clots in my lungs. It did make the chest pain go away. I also did L-Arginine to prevent clots and to help the endothelial cells plus ate pumpkin seeds or Pepitas which had it. Your tips on exercise, rest, and listening to your body is spot on. I had written a post about how important it was to listen to the body and what it needs. Thanks again for making this video. I have seen so many Long Haulers with problems as you describe, and I think this information will help.

Some of the best information I’ve seen on post viral recovery help for post Covid patients.

Wonderful information, a tremendous help, thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you for all of your work and help. 🙏

Excellent! I am also going to share this with my primary care physician. This is so great for a simplified triage to begin treatment. I've been taking NAC at bedtime and having trouble with sleep, so thank you for sharing it should be taken a.m. and afternoon instead! LDN fixed my inflammation. Thank you Dr Klimas for your generosity in sharing your years of experience.

Thank you for this excellent video. NAC was a game changer for me. Also electrolytes, proning and compression socks.

Short, simple, reassuring - thank you!

Thank you, you just described my post Covid experience

Dr Klimas, thank you for such a fantastic explanation of what’s happening! I’m on Day 151 of presumed COVID and I’ve never recovered.

Thank you so much for your care and research

Great video! Add this to the lung damage from the COVID lungs pneumonitis and not having been given oxygen! Nurse, zumba instructor, hiker, skier, energetic ball of love for life..and it's a demonic fatigue, on top of cognitive issues and lung damage, kidney damage :(

EXCELLENT VIDEO, thank you very much

Thanks for mentioning exercise, Dr Klimas. Coincidence that lately I've been paying attention to my different heart rate zones, keeping mostly low and slow with occasional intervals. I'm still in pain, but the crashing and burning is less severe. I'm also taking NAC and "Qnol" - DS/DS GWI veteran.

I've only just come across your video and so much of it made huge sense to me, especially the adrenaline rushes, which I've been trying to explain to people but I had no idea why I was getting them! The video is from 3 years ago, when long COVID was still a fairly new phenomenon - would you say the advice still generally holds true, or has time and more evidence changed any of it?

Thank you sooo much for this very helpful information. QUESTION... Is there any advice about getting the flu shot while struggling with symptoms of long COVID? Last year my PCP would not let me get it while I was ill remarking that my immune system was already compromised (I have asthma). Thank you again. I will be adding the missing supplements. Yay science!!

For how long we'll have to take NAC, Curcumin ecc..? If we improve we can stop or we'll have to keep going? Wonder if it's a cure or just a temporary fix. Thanks

Thank you so much! Informative and reasoned. Will definitely try NAC.

I have tried to do everything you suggest and finally, feel ready to think about pacing. I just wish I could find the book. There are many wrong books called "Pacing" and I have trouble deciphering the author's name. Does anyone know?

Thanks so much

Dr. Klimas, for those of us with sensitivities to SSRIs or SNRIs, do you find low-dose Abilify to be helpful with fewer side effects? Or does it depend on the patient? I currently take 4.5mg LDN and 200mg SAM-e.

Thank You for the advice it is much needed. I can attest that NAC works for post COVID as it is of tremendous help for alleviating the brainfog/confusion for me.

Hi very infromative thanks! Can you combine NAC and CoQ10?

thanks so much for the advice. i have ordered a bottle of nac + and coq10 to help with my dizziness and brain fog since i had covid last march. something that has been asked previously is do we keep taking these supplements indefinitely or reduce slowly or indeed finish them once we feel better? thanks again...

this is awesome!! thank you so much! I have had CFS/ME for at least 20 years. I am going to try those nutraceuticals you mention. Question about Glutathione.. Is the sub q or IM glutathione effected or would using NAC or a lipo glutathione be a better option? thank you so much for all these helpful tips. Can you share the name of the pacing book your friend wrote? thanks again for all your work and dedication to these illnesses! Please Stay Safe

Hello, I'm Julia Such good explanations and advice I found nowhere so far. Beeing a Covid Long-Hauler I am suffering now from Post Covid fatique. My first symptoms were on the 5th of March. Had neuro symptoms since the start of June. Now I am more or less bedbound suffering from dizzyness, double vision, headaches..... My questions: - is there a written transcript somewhere of what is said here? I understood most of it but because my native language is German and there were a few words, especially concerning the medication I couldn't follow so quickly. Would be easier for me to read.... . - if you suffer from post viral fatique people say after six months it can be disgnosed as chronic fatique. Is this counted from onset of the diseasee symptoms or from onset of the fatiques symptoms.? - Is there still a chance after six months that it will resolve still there or is it probable it'll stay like that and this is my " new normal" ? - I have my first ever appointment with a neurologist next week. Any recommendations what I should ask him for or not forget to tell him concerning CoV19?

Hi, thanks very much for this. You say (I paraphrase) 'talk to your doc if your BPM goes up over 20 when you stand up because they can do something about that?'. Any clues on what they can do as mine just said to rest and gave me a blank face ('go away and come back in a month'). My POTS type symptoms and dizzy / chest symptoms developed suddenly on 13th Aug after probable covid appeared on 18th March. Now in long covid that is looking very much like ME. Hoping to nip it in the bud if possible. Thanks again :)

It has been six months since become sick, still tired, at times have mild breathing issues, need rest if overstimulated, have brain fog at times, get headaches occasionally, when I went to the pulmonologist he said my oxygen levels are good, didn't know what to do other than order X-ray. From time to time I spit up thick white mucus. What do you recommend I do or take? My Doctor is clueless about how to treat me. Thanks.

Spanish subtitles?

I’ve been recovering since March. My follow-up question would be about my other ongoing symptoms besides fatigue body aches and pains. When I have a flareup, I also get a low-grade fever and chills, a buzzing sensation in my body, headaches, vertigo, etc. Is this also due to the cell difficulty creating energy?

It’s been 2 months since my recovery smell hasn’t came back and I feel like my body became more relaxed idk it’s weird

Would you not say also, that mesenchymal stem cells (such as those by Predictive Biotech) would make empirical sense? I chose to do this for my hubby and self (regardless of not FDA approval - but FDA has no "approvals" either on NAC or glutathione....) ALSO regardless of it all being out of pocket /no insurance coverage. (NOTE: these are harvested from live birth ONLY umbilical cord donations) Post Script APPROVE of the CoQ10 recommendation been taking for decades (After my PreMed spent 12 years in Pharma and 18 in Medical Nutrition)

Thank you. It’s been almost 3 months. 😭

Any alternative to aspirin? I'm allergic to it.

Im so tired. I got covid phuemona seversl yesrs ago. I got covid pbumonia Long haulets I got FluA Than Rsv virus. I had covid 28daus i nevet thought id get better. Im so weak. I chased everyone away n no one cares about me ny body is giving up living

How do we find a good doctor? My physician puts me off.

FDA banned NAC a couple months ago.

Is there anything to supplement aspirin for those allergic to it?

so we've essentially been disabled. awesome. why is this information not widely disseminated?
