What can be done about Long Covid? There are academic medical centers that treat Long Covid. What happens is that the client sees multiple specialists to be put on medications and gets treatments to help the symptoms without dealing with the cause.
Is there more to do than that? I think so. Let’s read about a client who had Covid issues and how she did with Long Covid treatment.
Long Covid Success story
I’ve spoken about this client before. She’s a young lady who got Covid then the next day had a car accident. That messed her up quite a bit. She became very tired. When she did too much, her heart rate would go up too much, the legs would go numb, and she would pass out.
She had lifelong depression/anxiety and the anxiety was not good after the Covid. She continuously thought that something bad was going to happen.
She had neck pain all the time. I saw her and over THREE months I treated her nervous system, her food intolerances, her mood issues, and the covid issues.
The last time I saw her she had just come back from visiting her hometown where she had enjoyed her vacation week from 8 AM – 10 PM daily. She had been able to tolerate that pace which her friends were amazed at. Her neck pain had gone down and no longer bothered her. Her mood was doing better – she was no longer depressed. And she didn’t pass out when she did too much!
Hows of Long Covid Treatment
What happened in those THREE months? She had Covid which worsened other health issues that were there but were not bothering her before.
I worked with her to figure out what her health issues were and dealt with each one at the right time. She had a lot of nervous system issues which caused her heart rate to go up and pass out.
She had pain issues related to nerves that weren’t acting right. She definitely had Covid issues which was improved with the appropriate medications and supplements. She had lifelong depression/anxiety issues which was treated with the appropriate supplements.
Those treatments worked and the result was that she had a good vacation even though she pushed herself more than the average person 🙂
So Long Covid is very common these days. But realize that there are Long Covid management strategies that involve treating the causes. It doesn’t have to be at academic centers where you get to see multiple specialists.
It may be with your local integrative medicine doctor who knows enough about how Covid affects the different parts of the body and can treat them using methods which may be known in other parts of the world but not in the USA. Such a local integrative doctor may be myself 🙂

hi Dr Chen
another good read….
isn’t that sooooooo frustrating when Drs pretty much say there’s no hope when you know for sure and there is plenty of hope…..
sure dealt with this a lot over the long years with Denise’s Lyme…..
have a great weekend….

I think the doctors mean well but we, as empowered patients, have to realize that any doctors we see don’t know everything out there including yours truly. So don’t take someone’s word for it because there is usually hope out there…
