My Long Covid Life!
12
items I got Covid in December of 2020 while teaching high school. I was not able to return for spring semester. In fact, I was in a wheelchair with a whole host of health issues until late summer of 2021. I was finally able to get around without a wheelcha...
This red light therapy mat has helped with my pain and inflammation. I won't say it's a magic bullet because I don't think that one exists, but if it gives me a some relief, I'll take it! I've decided if I can get some relief from multiple products o...
Red Light Therapy Pad 50 LEDs Dual 660nm&850nm
Prior to getting Covid, I had never heard of NAC. And I am not a specialist of any kind! But in all of my research on Long Covid, and in what has been my own experience, my immune system, in addition to many other body systems, has been damaged. If I'm understanding my research correctly, NAC is an antioxidant that supports the lungs and the immune system. I have read where it “may” help with inflammation as well. I don't pretend to understand all of the medical jargon, but I can tell you th...
Pure Encapsulations NAC 600 mg - 90 Capsules
One of the systems that took the biggest hit with Long Covid is my immune system. Chelated Zinc was one of the first supplements that I tried, and I do think that taking this, along with some other supplements that address the immune system, has help...
Bluebonnet Albion Chelated Zinc, 90 Veg Caps
This is one of my more recent additions to my supplement regimen! Lab tests show that my B12 consistently stays low, and it was recommended that I take this B12 as it is methyl free (that's a whole different rabbit hole) and bioavailable as a dissolv...
Seeking Health Hydroxo B12 2000mcg Lozenges
I love this product! Even before I got Covid, I had low levels of Vitamin D, but Covid really blew that out of the water! I am no medical professional, but I can tell you from experience that this product took my Vitamin D level from a 16 up to the m...
Designs for Health Hi-Po Emulsi Vitamin D Drops 2000 IU
This is my most recent purchase, and it has made a big difference in my ability to do more things. I put this off for the longest time because I didn't want to need a walker. I did a lot of research, and I knew what I wanted. I wanted something that ...
Medline Steel Rollator Walker with Seat, Blue
Immediately following Covid, I had to use this shower chair every time I showered. After the first three years, I found that if it was a short shower, I could stand. But I still need this for longer showers or for what I call my “weak days.” The heat...
SOUNDFUSE Adjustable Shower Chair w/ Arms & Back
This has been a lifesaver for me. I am a side sleeper, and Long Covid brings all kinds of complications with regard to sleep. I found that I no longer sleep comfortably on my side without this knee pillow. It relieves my hip pain and helps me to get ...
5 STARS UNITED Knee Pillow for Side Sleepers
Love, love, love this! It may seem to be a strange item to put on a Long Covid support page, but it accomplishes several things for me. One, my feet are much more likely to get cold these days. I find a warm foot soak not only soothing, but it also b...
OOAMBB Collapsible Foot Spa w/ Heat & Bubbles
This saves me when I have overdone it and end up with a migraine. I had never had a migraine in my life until I ended up with Long Covid, and they are miserable! I put this on and lay in a dark room. It reduces the pain and allows me to rest. I like ...
TheraICE Migraine Relief Cap Ice Pack Mask
I keep this in my favorite chair, and it's about the only thing that keeps me from back pain while sitting. I like that is provides firm support, but it's not so big that it makes sitting uncomfortable. It seems like it supports exactly where I need ...
BodyMed Lumbar Support Cushion, Black
Ubiquinol is the most bioavailable form of CoQ10, and this brand has been really good for me. It is an antioxidant, and while it is billed as a “heart healthy” supplement, I have found that it gives me more energy. One of the things I struggle with i...
Qunol Mega Ubiquinol 100mg CoQ10 Softgels
