My friend, who is 65 yrs old, had Covid and 3 months post-recovery, is still going through neurological problems. He's experiencing a cognitive decline, dizziness, total incontinence, fatigue, depression, unable to walk, except with max assistance, and other neurological problems like the lack of feeling on the surface of both legs or strong contractions of his muscles. Prior to Covid, he was fully functioning and lived a great life. Now he's unable to do anything without assistance. I am coping right now because I am really too tired to think straight, so I am functioning like a machine. I pray for strength and for his healing. I care for him in my home and have no family support. Right now, I am fighting depression myself, but with my Father Yah, all things are possible. Faith is how I cope.
In 10-20 years, the chickens will come home to roost.
"The (COVID) vaccines are safe and effective" will be 100 times worse than "Nicotine is not addictive"
For now, everyone makes the best decision for themselves based on the best information that agrees with them. Be safe. I wish you all well.
I have loved ones that choose to vaccinate. I pray with all my heart that they are in the majority that don't have serious side effects.
I also just found out a cousin, healthy middle age male, developed blood clots in his arm last year. He had so much pain in his arm from the blood clot. He's been in treatment ever since. He's better now, but not back to normal. Yes, he was vaccinated.
She said that the Tucker Carlson fear-mongering about spike proteins was nonsense.
Per Igloo: "The mRNAs (Pfizer & Moderna) do not in any way change your DNA…. they degrade way too fast to ever do anything like that…. That is pure fear factor nonsense."
Igloo said the spike proteins degraded in HIS case. That's ONE case. For a small percentage of people, that is NOT true. Why would it be non-sense to fear something that DOES do serious harm to your body? You don't know if you will be the few and unlucky ones who will be maimed.
Igloo can't say his ONE case must be true for everyone. That is non-sense.
The OP said NOTHING about vaccinations. She said her father had neurological symptoms that showed up after he recovered from the natural disease.
OP, my mil had very similar symptoms that turned out not to have been related to covid at all. She’d been on a med for a rare lung infection, and once discontinued, much of her function returned.
Id suggest you get dad in for a full neuro work up.
If it was "non-sense" to have a side effects from a minority of people because the majority don't, then the drug companies just have to do the trial test one person, and conclude that the results will apply to the millions, and billions of people. Now, that would be non-sense.
My hubs went on Phase 3 summer 2020 Pfizer random population trials via Oschner & I went on J&J speciality population trial via Tulane Nov 2020; both in New Orleans. Both blind trials: so not told if you got real stuff or a placebo nor did any staff know. We pretty well surmised on our own hubs got the real juice as he had definite side effects after both shots; I had none so mine was a toss up. We both did regular online reporting of overall health, temp, O2%, exposure & in person blood draws. We both mask pretty often. Hubs office building was petri dish of exposures early on…. like every other week some elevators would be shut down for sanitizing… dz's hospitalized that we know well… so he had lots of known exposure filings. Hubs got a whopping $5 a week ACH after he submitted his weekly report; I got zero weekly. Abt $100 to start & $50 when intermittent blood work done. Not abt $.
Both Pfizer & J&J participants could AT ANY TIME request “unbinding” & this is in the consent form. You in writing, like via an email, send request over to local trial staff & in pretty short order get a document to E-sign & within 1-72 hrs get info on vaxx or placebo from the National or regional hub on your trial. It’s a match up of vial #’s, not names.
When 1st run of Pfizer & Moderna mRNAs became readily available 2/21, Hubs got a call from his contact person in trials Dept and in real time, while on the phone w/him did the email and became unbound and yep hub got Pfizer so was fully vaxxed & had been for months. He stayed on the study & getting round 3&4 vaxxes & blood work till this summer.
I had a bit more challenge in getting unbound as J&J wanted you to have an vaxx booked/scheduled & email that to the local staff and they forwarded to national study coordinator to get unbound, yada yada. & back then (seems like soooo sooo long ago now!) it was crazy to get an actual in-writing booking but there were couple of independent pharmacies that DNGAF as to criteria and would book, send a email confirm & do vaxx. I sent email & took like 4 days to get J&J trial statement that I got placebo. I got both Modernas; got a final blood draw & went off J&J trial last year.
Neither of us has had Covid & know this is accurate as the trial blood draws did specific testing (nucleocapsid) & Ig markers for type of Covid antibodies. Hubs mRNA degraded within 5 days of each vaxx and spike protein lasted 4 - 6 weeks. The mRNAs (Pfizer & Moderna) do not in any way change your DNA…. they degrade way too fast to ever do anything like that…. That is pure fear factor nonsense.
Since I vaxxed Moderna & then Pfizer, I’ll never get a J&J call back. Hubs may get a blood draw call 5 years from his first Pfizer vaxx, he’ll go.
Personally if at this point in time if you do not get vaxxed and do not have a documented legit health reason as to why a Covid vaxx is contraindicated, I’d like to see the life & health insurance companies to refuse to do coverage or pay out on policies. You get palliative care in your home, just too bad, so sad. The healthcare system in the US really cannot go thru another surge like what Delta did last year as folks with regular and accidental health care needs had to reschedule or wait or do without as the wards were full of unvaxxed Covid.
As a side note, you all are aware that there are people who act as malicious trolls on sites like this for money? The more responses they generate on a particular subject, the more they get paid.
After a clinical trial has been completed, they let the test groups know if they were given the actual medication or a placebo.
I took part in a clinical trial for a smoking cessation program. I was part of the group who received the medication. It did not work well for me and I didn't quit smoking.
When I got Covid bad, I quit then and never touched another cigarette in two years. "Dying with Covid is not the same as dying from Covid". Only Covid can be the deciding factor of whether or not a person does die.
I waited a LONG time to get vaccinated after I was sick. All the health problems I now have, I had before I got vaccinated. It is lasting from the Covid itself.
I can't even believe how ignorant you're being. Did you know that Dr. Salk did not even take a patent on the polio vaccine? He did not become a rich man off that and he could have. Rather he wanted to give this to the world so there woudn't be another FDR who goes swimming one day then is paralyzed the next.
You know lucky you are to be living in a first-world country in a time where you wouldn't have to watch all youe whole family die of smallpox? Or have yourself become crippled from polio? Or die of a common cold that turns into a respiratory infection then graduates to pneumonia because antibiotics weren't invented yet?
Count your blessings, my friend because you have many.
This is what I was talking about if you want to read it.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1383764/
And antibiotics do not work on viruses. They only work on vacterial infection. The flu and covid are viruses.
It has been admitted that most people who went to the hospital during covid were there for something else and were tested for covid. If they tested positive they were considered a covid. That is the truth whether you want to believe it or not. And yes they were considered a covid test if they died at that point. Even if they died from something else.
And you have to realize that covid is not like a normal flu. It is a bio engineered weapon that causes after effects and side effects. Due to the coding in the spike protein. Yes some get these side effects from covid itself and others from the vaccine. I am sure getting the vaccine didn't do you any favors in terms of recovery and side effects.
The conflict of interest thing is just, well, odd. I'm a caretaker just like I'm supposing you are. No need to respond to me further. You've shown me who you are, and I believe you.
How exactly do you know you have even been given the actual vaccine? In every scientific experiment there is something called a control group. This way they can do an actual experiment on side effects, plus effectiveness. But with these vaccines it seems science is out the window and they are doing whatever they want.
It's amazing what happens when the fear of lawsuits is removed from the equation.
Healthy children are getting this dye to getting a vaccine that they have less practically zero exchange of dying from. Same with formally healthy middle aged adults.
The lies the medical community are part of is disgusting and disturbing and down right crimminal.
Dying with covid is not the same as dying from covid. But when there is money on the table ethics and morals go out the window.
Not to mention the useful idiots and fools who drank the covid koolaid and think that lying is doing the right thing for the greater good.
I will say, though, that the spike protein won’t stay in your Body due to the mrna.
The Japanese health officials collected all the data from Pfizers including data that Pfizer didn't share with the US health officials. They examined Pfizers own data and saw alarming evidence of spike proteins traveling from the injection site to various organs in the body and causing havoc. I will try to find that article again and post a link.

I personally would not trust Mercola given the link below, but to each their own. https://www.businessinsider.com/mercola-doctor-disinformation-dozen-anti-covid-vaccination-2021-7?op=1
Since I had Covid I have been to many specialists to rule out things. My right arm hurts, tingles and I lose feeling. I can not lift my arm above my head. The sleep doctor said I scream in pain at night.
They are doing a MRI and placed me on a nerve blocker, Gabapatin, I think I spelled it wrong.
I am sorry your friend is going thru this.

DO let me know if you cannot access the article and I can post it here in its entirety.
I also suggest you sign up for the mercola.com website. Dr Andrew Mercola (mercola.com) has been shut down by the mainstream media & villainized to the extent that he's had to privatize his articles and put them on Substack for a small monthly fee to subscribers. His regular articles are free but he takes them down after 36 hours and they go over to Substack. Sad but true, that a doctor who's been practicing for decades and has proven methods for FIGHTING Covid and long Covid is being silenced by the powers that be in our administration right now due to their insistence on 'vaccines' that don't work and wind up injuring or killing a large percentage of our population.
Mercola's view is that the spike protein that comes from the 'vaccines' and from Covid itself is what causes the problems within our bodies. The spike protein continues to replicate over and over and OVER again, continuing to wreak havoc. He has treatment options to get RID of the spike protein in the body once and for all. One thing he recommends is taking probiotics, Vitamin C, D, glutathione, and NAC. (I have been taking these along with Zinc since 2019 and haven't had Covid at all). I can't remember all the rest of the natural treatments he recommends, but I want to say he uses oxygen treatments and hyperbaric chambers too. I'm not 100% sure though. You'd have to sign up for his website to access that info. DO read the Epoch Times link I included in this post though which has A TON of useful information from non mainstream doctors in it. It also discusses how there are many similarities between long Covid and VACCINE side effects, why? Because both have the spike protein which is what our bodies are REACTING to! But Mercola is the fellow who will tell you how to get RID of the spike protein in the body, once and for all. It's a process. I only wish I'd written all that info down when I first read it. Dang.
If anyone wants to argue or pooh-pooh away what I've written here, don't bother. SOMEWHERE SOMEHOW, we have to find out our OWN answers to what's really happening with Covid and the 'vaccines' which are injuring many of us.
Wishing you the best of luck finding some coherent answers to your friend's issues.
Research points to a prolonged inflammatory response.
My biggest issue is the media blackouts and big tech blackouts when it comes to this vaccine. Anything that goes against the narrative is shut down.
You only have to look at history to see that the government is not exactly on the up and up when it comes to the general population. From small pox contaminated blankets given to the Native Americans to the Tuskegee experiment and countless other examples. Many in the medical community were given a financial incentive to go along with this. It's called a perverse incentive and leads to all kinds of bad things. The truth will come out eventually. It always does.
For you, I so hope you are not compromising your back after having surgery. Was you friend working when he got COVID? If so, he maybe able to get short-term disability if he isn't already. Is he collecting SS yet. If not he should. No it won't be 100% but it will be money coming in. See if he qualifies for Social Security disability.
Like said, he may need more help than you can give. Don't feel guilty if you can't do all the caregiving. See if he qualifies for in home Medicaid.
- Do Google search as to Covid clinical trials at John Hopkins & try to enroll in one.
and
- get your friend into a gerontology group practice that is affiliated with JH Medical school or Univ of Maryland medical school. It would be the practice that runs the gerontology residency/fellowship programs and has MDs who are gerontologists who also see patients within their private practice but it’s schedule thru the department.
That you live in Balmer where there is not 1 but 2 medical schools within a bigger health science centers is beyond fortunate. It will take work to get him into a programs but once he is, it should place him into a “continuum and coordination of care” system.
Also He’s 65 so should be able to be on MediCARE as his primary health insurance if he is no longer has employer sponsored health insurance. Please please make sure he does the paperwork for enrolling in Medicare ((this is beyond important as if he doesn’t enroll (even if he suspends it as he still has employer coverage) he can have a permanent increase later enrolled fee)).
Long Covid is uncharted territory. I will say this, the “long Covid symptom” Twitter subgroup is good, but tends to be epidemiology & stats heavy. You may want to check it out if you ever have free time (lol). Has lots of folks informed on ME/CFS which seems to be the disease group closest to a match up of long Covid symptoms.
Faith is wonderful but unless you have a caregiver who happens to answer to the name of Faith you need more than just that.
This person may need caregivers 24/4
Assisted Living might be a possibility
He may even need Skilled Nursing.
Refer him to the local Area Agency on Aging and see if he qualifies for any services.
If he is a Veteran the VA may have some help available. And depending on where and when he served it might be a little help or a LOT.
And do an on line search for potential Clinical Trials for COVID Long Haul symptoms
Then I got better but had all kinds of problems that I still have now.
Extreme dizziness (vertigo) even when I'm in bed. The surface of my toes are permanently numb. The muscle contractions in my legs. Fatigue and very bad depression. My doctor just blows me off and tells me to lose more weight and I'll be fine. Your friend's Covid symptoms are real.
However he needs more care than you can provide to him. He's 65 years old and hasn't regressed back into infancy like many elderly people do. He needs to be in assisted living now. Help him find a different living situation.
Second if they really were all about the science then they would be studying what treatments those with long covid received. And if they were vaccinated before or after getting covid. Because maybe just maybe the treatnents and / or the vaccines are contributing to these long covid symptoms.
But the CDC and Fauci and the rest of them are not concerned about science. They are more concerned about getting a needle in the arms of every single living person on this planet from infant to old age. For a virus that has an over 98% survival rate. There is no science behind any of this.
And FYI the CDC also does not track the rate of flu infection correlating with flu vaccination either. Just something to think about.
I think Dr Fauci is concerned about science since he's dedicated his entire life to the study, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases.
The vaccine and boosters do not prevent a person from getting infected with Covid. The prevent a person from getting dead from Covid. The same as a flu shot. It does not prevent people from getting strains of influenza. It prevents whatever strain they do get from killing them.
I had all my Covid shots and got it again a couple of months later. I didn't really get sick though. My only symptoms were that I felt tired and lost my sense of taste and smell for two days.
The CDC has decided that long covid is the price people may have to pay for getting covid. It could be the next public health disaster. Since the majority of the population has decided that covid is over (and they have decided that it has been over for quite some time now), it's up to the individual to (attempt to) keep themselves safe. And if they don't/can't? Too bad.
I stay fairly familiar with what the CDC puts out, and I can’t find anything like this statement, or in fact anything in the paragraph that follows.
It is important to me to be able to find references to what your comment contains.
Thank you for your anticipated help.
