Keto and Covid


#1

I’ve probably watched every youtube video related to LCHF since I wet keto full on. That’s since April 2020.
Two nuggets of information I remember are that a fever is a biological adaptation to combat pathogens and that pathogens find ketogenic body states difficult to ‘live’ in.
I’m keen to go over these topics again as I was confirmed positive today.
CAn anyone recommend any videos on these subjects?

Don’t know about videos, but some things that MIGHT help: vitamin D, zinc, selenium.

D3 and K2 (MK7 form). A lot of D3.I take 5k IU just for maintenance. My friend who tested positive and has some heart issues takes 10K IU.

Heart issues from the covid or prior to getting covid?


(Robin) #5

Previous to covid

They should also watch for additional heart trouble. I’ve seen multiple people who get POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)…for months after covid. They can have trouble breathing for a long time, too.

But no one seems to know who will become a “long hauler” and who won’t.

Yeah, scary.

I was confirmend positive on monday.
I had a raging fever on sunday and monday and a bit of a cough. By wednesday I felt normal except I was a bit fuzzy, possibly because I’ve not had the appetite to eat anything.
This morning (Thursday) I felt great but by midday I became very light headded and jittery. My BP is well up and my ketones are 0.3 and 5.6 for glucose.
I’m wondering if my electrolites are a bit out of whak.

Take care. Hope you recover soon.

Feel better! Any idea how you got it? This is an item I think not well tracked


(Laurie) #11

Best of luck to you.

Ha, I work in ‘municiple services’. I could have caught it anywhere. It’s a miracle I don’t get anything worse.

How are you doing? I had it last month and I’m convinced being on Keto saved my life.


(Todd Allen) #14

Vitamin C may also be helpful especially if dietary intake is low.


(Susan) #15

I hope that you feel better soon and take care.


(JJ) #16

Hope you are starting to feel better. Look after yourself.


#17

Well as the delay in responding might suggest I’ve not been ‘on it’. I’m well over covid although I stayed off work for 13 days in total. I was tired for a few days but pretty well went back to normal.

Glad to hear you made a full recovery.
