What Long COVID Taught Me About Life (and Data) | Giorgia Lupi | TED
Following a long COVID diagnosis, she tracked her symptoms meticulously over four years, the data culminating in a visual “New York Times” narrative that resonated deeply with many others suffering from chronic illness. Lupi invites us to consider data not as a rigid or objective truth, but as a living language used to better understand…

I was the only person in a car of 4 after a week of traveling together that got covid. It’s been almost 3 years since then. At the time I struggled with all of the symptoms she describes especially that first week. Afterwards I had fatigue for months, couldn’t taste or smell for over a year. I still have recurrences of those symptoms but they are not long lasting; all of a sudden I can’t taste a meal or think clearly…that was the hardest…get fatigue for no reason.
Eventually, I had to shift my focus too.

Trying to understand and visualize a debilitating illness which medicine doesn’t understand and can’t treat, is narcissism?
I’ve been dealing with this illness for 4 years and have also had to take meticulous notes, measurements of patterns in food, sleep, pain, etc.
American health care providers aren’t equipped or motivated to explore novel viruses for which there is no known treatment. All of the advances I’ve made in my recovery have been due to revelations discovered via my own data. We have to aggressively self-advocate and often still don’t get adequate care. Empathy goes a long way.

What’s she saying has been helping me too. But I came to that positive change through some Bible verses.
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
Philippians 4:8-9 NKJV
And
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:2 NKJV
Same neuroplasticity effect.
So focusing on the good things and victories definitely makes a difference. For a period I stopped using my smartwatch as well, because I was monitoring my symptoms too much and it does give you a feeling of control. Also, stopped looking up symptoms on google so much. My watch is focused on fitness now for the most part; I occasionally slip back into monitoring and have to get back out of it again.
Oh, an additional thing I’ve been trying as of lately: cutting out dairy, gluten, and inflammatory foods. It helps. I also got an allergy test. From an allergist, not the home kits. Found out I’m now allergic to a lot of foods I eat. Getting rid of those can help take stress out the system and allow it to heal and recovery more properly. I noticed my histamine response was more intense after all this long COVID started. So this may not be the same for everyone.
Lastly, more sunlight and mild exercise if you can. Walking! That’s it. Walk at the park, beach, get a treadmill or mini stair stepped. Some mild exercise and getting extra sunlight helps a lot!
I still have symptoms but they aren’t as crippling. Hope this helps. 🤎

You have absolutely no idea what this illness actually encompasses. Those of us living with it (most, like me, were early infections ins early 2020 when no treatment was available and the virus was its most virulent).
I am young and used to be a competitive runner and swimmer. VERY fit. Within 2 months I was in a wheelchair and couldn’t remember how to tie my own shoes. I didn’t know what year it was or city I was in. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t walk and never got better.
I had a physical 3 months before I was infected which showed perfect health with labs and scans. After, empirical evidence showed the dramatic effect on my heart, lungs, blood and cognitive function. We aren’t “faking it”.
We are met with ubiquitous derision from comments like yours, doctors too arrogant to admit they don’t understand the illness’ mechanisms or treatment. Imagine if you got an illness which robbed you of your ability to live independently and free of pain. And had to endure constant cruel comments telling you your disabled existence is actually just you “faking it”.
You didn’t have this experience? Count yourself as fortunate. Empathy never hurt anyone. I promise, at some point, you or someone you love will have debilitating health issues. You’d be well to treat others now as you’d like to be treated then.

Beautiful and moving. I saw this piece in The NY Times last December and wept.
I’ve had Long Covid since 2020 and have been in and out of a wheelchair, lost my independence, cardiac issues and my immune system is now so weak I can’t be around others without a mask so I’m unable to be social.
Those who haven’t lived this can’t comprehend how painful it is to have a debilitating illness that has been politicized and scoffed at as a “hoax”. It exponentially increases the difficulty. When you have MS or Lupus, no one tells you your illness is a hoax and part of the “deep state”. People don’t cough in their faces and hurl insults.
It’s also made more difficult by the fact that billions of people have had Covid. Most don’t get Long Covid and lack the empathy to comprehend that everyone’s bodies and experiences are different.
Love to all of the other members of this community.

Это история о том как страх побеждает организм. Я за 2 года(2020-2022) надевал маску только до марта-апреля 2020, потом я понял что это не опаснее обычного гриппа и что всё это умышленно раздувается властями с помощью СМИ. С тех пор я ни разу не надел нигде маску(ругался, скандалил призывая соблюдать законы в магазинах когда мне не продавали продукты, нашел автозаправки где мог заправляться без этой унизительной процедуры-надевания тряпки на лицо), и естественно не делал никаких вакцин. В итоге я болел простудой 2 или 3 каждый раз не больше 3-5 дней.
