415 — Living With Long COVID: May’s Story & The Search for Answers

415 — Living With Long COVID: May’s Story & The Search for Answers

Author: Doctor Podcast Network December 18, 2025 Duration: 39:10

In this deeply personal episode, Tim and May reveal a journey they never expected to face: May is suffering from what appears to be long COVID — but not the typical version most people know about.

This is the story of three years of unexplained panic, insomnia, neurologic symptoms, autoimmune changes, GI flares, and a spike protein antibody level that stunned everyone: 12,000.

They open up about:

  • How May’s health spiraled
  • Why the symptoms were so hard to recognize
  • The hidden link between long COVID + histamine problems
  • The shock of recent lab results
  • The complexity and confusion around treatment
  • Where the story goes from here

If you or someone you love is suffering with strange, unexplained symptoms — anxiety, insomnia, diarrhea, panic spells, hot flashes, neurologic changes, autoimmune shifts, or sudden worsening illness — this episode may open doors you didn’t know existed.

This isn’t medical advice.

It’s real-life experience.

And it’s only the beginning.
