CORONA Study Finds 98 "Long-Term" COVID-19 Symptoms Including Baldness

what they did not include is that your dipstick falls off

It doesn't fall off, quite spreading fake news... it does, however, shrink up to 60% in length and 75% in girth.

What I find interesting is most people post corona consider themselves "long haulers". Now I'm not making light of the situation but it's only been five or so months, to me a long hauler is someone who has been dealing with this illness for five or more years. One can get Influenza A or B and have symptoms and issues for months if not years after the fact... there used to be a term for this but it escapes me at the moment... and that is actually quite common. Some of us take longer to recover from a major illness than others especially when we have pre-existing conditions like asthma.

Think this (hair loss) was reported before, but they attributed the effect to stress.

Something to keep an eye on, for sure. I have very thick hair that is starting to get thinner. I chalked that up to the impact of getting older, but maybe not.

exclusive to Covid which seems to be the intent of the OP.

I didn't get that impression myself

Could have been the title that misled me..

Study Finds 98 "Long-Term" COVID-19 Symptoms Including Baldness

Ah well, folks are going to believe what they want to believe, as long as it doesn't affect me, go with God!

I dunno, I guess we are looking at this from two different angles.

I never got the impression that the cluster of symptoms identified in this article said they were exclusive to Covid 19. Actually I can't think of any symptom or effect that I've heard about is EXCLUSIVE to Covid19.
Not even the "loss of Smell &/or Taste"

Sometimes I think Doctors are Like Auto Mechanics. Take yourself in or get towed in by Ambulance to the Mechanic/Doctor.

What's the matter?
When did you notice this?
How long has it been happening?
Does it make any noise?
How about any sound?
If you do "this" what happens?

The learning curve for "certification is longer with a Doctor, but experience is KING in both professions.

Just think. That means that every ailment of man can be cured with hydroxychloroquine. What a breakthrough.

The Long haul groups are filled full or people who used that drug. Some say it helped them breath better in the beginning, some say it did nothing..
There is a theory that it helps short term to clear the virus, but the virus comes back after the drug is stopped. Perhaps a longer regiment is needed. Perhaps it's just placebo effect in the first place. We need more study.

You have a link to any of those groups, it would be interesting to read?

I wonder if there is a list for the stress this virus has caused? I imagine that the list is similar.

Mine was caused by a food allergy... I got rid of the allergen in my diet, citrus, and my hair started to slowly grow back in.

Of all the side effects, baldness is the least of my worries.
However, If baldness would come, I sure would like it to be complete full on chrome dome instead of half ass pattern baldness. Go all the way,or go home

I know guy who suffered from Lyme disease. He was a young man, athletic, professional Fisherman, and later where the trouble happened, a Logger in the local Mountains. Numerous tick bites in the forest. Suffered for years until they tested him, after years of request to do so. The treatment was a sham and worse than the disease. There was a National story a few years back that said the incidence of Lyme disease is ten time higher than thought, because the symptom mimic so many other medical conditions.

He wasted away, but he continued to write software from his home. He would roll his super duper hi-tech wheel chair a block and half down to the waters edge and stare at the Bay where he used to Fish and Surf. What a waste.

We have a very athletic teacher at school who had lyme disease, always fatigued, always in pain. I feel bad for her, but I still risk going outside and into the woods.

Yes, Covid19 can bring serious complications for some. But if we lived in 1890, we would have smallpox, and many other frightful diseases, but they still went to work, and to school. Life is risky.

Yes it is.

There is no such thing as a risk-free life. It just doesn’t exist. So you have to think of everything in terms of lower risk and higher risk.

You can find them on Facebook and reddit. But most require you to have a connection to join. (Have it, family connection, or medical professionals).

Covid 19!

Hypochondriacs Unite!

Seriously, with all the hype, it makes people assign anything to Covid. It was why my father, a doctor, was upset when they allowed drug companies to advertise. You experience X? Go see your doctor and get pill Y.

My 77 year old mom was in the hospital with Covid and survived. She now says her hair is starting to fall out. Her doctor told her it was a side effect of detoxing from the high dose steroids they gave her along with the hydro protocol. I wonder how many of these issues are side effects and detoxing from all the drugs some people are on.
