Anyone experiencing LONG COVID symptoms ???????????>>>>>>>>>>>

March 28, 2024, 08:31 PM

I had covid back in 2022 and every so often throughout the day I will experience a dry cough which is caused by a slight tickle when I breath in my lungs which is phlegm. However if or when I do cough up the small amount of phlegm it is clear. My doctor said this is one of the long covid items and also thinks my cough reflex is getting sensitive. It does not happen when I sleep. Thank you for reading and sharing any of your experiences. God Bless !!!

Ah yes... dry cough and excessive punctuation are both classic symptoms of Long Covid.

(The latter symptom is terminal, I'm afraid.)

Have you considered that your mild cough is symptomatic of getting older, and that this "long COVID" stuff is just more of the same bullshit they tried to con us with?

You have a mild cough brought on by a bit of mucus, and dealing with it on a daily basis has aggravated your respiratory system.

My advice? Get these people out of your head. You're fine.

May I ask your age?

My (medically monitored) experience is no. I have a number of symptoms but no disease.

A note, I have symptoms consistent with the 'condition' we call Long Covid. The medical people I've been referred to would eat a bug before they would break protocol and call it a diagnosis.

I read your post after I responded to the previous poster. You're point about it being in one's head, it certainly is in mine, and my throat; but wait there's more.

A persistent cough may be associated with what is called "long COVID" that doesn't mean the man has it.

They're still fucking with us. At the present time, just as it was back then, I don't think researchers and physicians know much about this virus. I say this with all due respect to the physicians in the forum.

I can see the bullshit as plain as day. The people who pushed this COVID narrative made it up as they went along, and contradicted themselves in the process- Fauci and all the rest of those sons o' bitches who destroyed people's lives and then laughed it off.

Is it "long COVID" or "long VAX"?

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

There's a persistent cough going around the bay area right now. I've had it for months. I have never had Covid. Just tested yesterday, negative.

I've had a persistent cough as well. Come to find out that I'm apparently freshly allergic to pollen. Been taking daily antihistamines, and the cough is mostly gone.

I'm telling you guys- and I say this to you as someone who cares about the people here- get these people out of your head. Kick 'em out. Banish 'em. Do not listen.

My Doc, whom I trust, said as much, as he sent me out the door for a brain scan.

There is a whole lot of stuff floating around right now.

Between me, my wife, and two elementary school kids, since just October we have had RSV, Influenza B, COVID (again...this was my third time since 2020), strep throat, and a staph infection. We've also had a cold thrown in here or there.

It feels like we only start getting better for a few days before one of us gets sick with something else.

I will take COVID any day of the week and twice on Sunday as opposed to strep. Strep as an adult is terrible.

According to both my doctor and my kids' pediatrician all the masks and social distancing crap did was make everyone's immune systems weaker and now all the normal stuff is coming back with great vengeance.

A letter was sent home from school that both Hand, Foot, and Mouth and Whooping Cough are going around at the school. Knock on wood, we haven't seen that yet, but who knows...there are still couple months left in the school year.

The easy thing for a lazy doctor to say to you is, "Oh, it must be long COVID." I'd almost guarantee you it's not. It's always something else. I can tell you from personal experience that the cough from RSV lasts for well over a month.

Friends of mine, The husband caught Covid.
With all the coughing and sneezing he managed to blow out his colon.

After surgery and weeks in the ICU, where they said he may not make it, he got better.

Now he sports an Ostomy bag he will be wearing the rest of his life.

I would say this is a case of Long Covid.

I’d be more inclined to agree you may have a new allergy to pollen. Check with you doc, or try one of the OTC allergy meds for 2 to 3 weeks and see if the cough goes away. May or may not be related to COVID or the Vax.

I will say again, I NEVER took the jab and this has been ongoing for almost 2 years right after recovering from covid. I do like your suggestion on trying an OTC allergy med for a few days to see if that helps. Thank you. God Bless !!!
