: Episode 1916 - On this Friday show, Tammy Krotz joins Vinnie Tortorich to talk Tammy's journey as one of many COVID-19 long-haulers, Dr. Teitelbaum's help with supplements and medicines, getting her life back on track, and more.

https://www.vinnietortorich.com/2021/08/recovering-covid-19-long-haulers-episode-1916

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

COVID-19 LONG-HAULERS

  • Tammy got COVID-19 in June 2020.
  • She is an elementary school teacher.
  • When she caught it, she didn't feel well, but she certainly didn't feel terrible or hospitalization-worthy.
    • Tammy was in good shape.
  • She got it after going to an outdoor concert, or from the friend with whom she attended the concert.
    • There were around 25 people at the event, and she did distance, typically.
    • Of course, it's also possible one of them got it elsewhere, or something similar.
  • At the time, she was at least relieved she had gotten it out of the way without a bad case... but she was wrong.
  • Between June and August, after she had COVID-19, she felt okay.
    • Then, in August, she had severe aches and pains and was absolutely exhausted.
      • Her body felt like it was failing her with the fatigue and the like.
  • For the whole year, she felt absolutely terrible -- foggy, pain, fatigue, and more. Her doctor told her a lot of people relapse like this.
    • Nobody could help her -- essentially, they didn't have answers and sent her to a support group.
      • The support group is helpful. There are 180,000 people in the Facebook group, and so many can't even get out of bed.

TREATMENT

  • She sought out Dr. Teitelbaum because she did not want to live like this.
  • He has been on the show before.
  • The Dr. looked at her lab work in great detail.
    • Because he focuses on fibromyalgia and energy issues, he was a great person to work with.
  • Neither Tammy nor Vinnie are doctors.
  • Dr. Teitelbaum put her on several supplements: Vitamin 3, smart energy system, and some supplements to help with her pain.
    • These targeted her energy and her sleep to start.
  • Over the course of time, he also helped her with prescriptions medicines to help her thyroid and other centers of hormonal control.
