This supplement is highly recommended for many viral problems .I started this at a low dose then increased to a full dose after 4 days. what followed was a nightmare whole body shaking heart beating out of control .
some people are sensitive to this supplement I discovered after i did much research online .
i think they call it ‘die off’ but id much rather be fatigued than wired honestly . its not worth it !
It sounds an awful experience on this supplement Lori, so frustrating when you're trying to do something to help yourself genuinely and all these side effects occur. Hoping that others with experience and knowledge of this supplement can post and offer some advice / info that might help everyone taking or considering taking it. I have had similar strange experiences with medication I've taken in the past and it's horrible I know, hoping this is just short term after effects and they will wear off very soon Lori.

Oh no Lori, that sounds awful, I would rather be tired than completely wired too! Maybe others on the site have tried it, and will share experiences like Craig says. How are you holding up? I was going on a trip to Shropshire last week, had to CANCEL, was running a fever two days before, and felt too miserable to go. At least I tried to do something positive, but the virus got the better of me. 😔
im just awful today i think after 5 days of literally shaking to my core my body is completely worn out . plus my sleep is so messed up with this horrible virus. i stopped working out a month ago and have felt worse .since stopping . im so sorry you has to cancel your trip but i believe it was probably for the best. i cancelled a trip to europe in june just could not make it ... and now glad i did. this is a horrible EVIL virus wouldnt wish it upon anybody !
how many people here use monolaurin? im very curious now as alot of people seem to swear by it
meds and supplements are different for everyone. I found taking vitamin b pills would make me feel wired and I couldn't get to sleep. Also with this virus everything feels very zig zag....so some of it could be just bad timing or as my doctor told me some of it is just a placebo, as there is no science behind some of these things you can buy, but just your body naturally behaving to the virus.....but everyone is different. I'm still taking vitamin c, and trying to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. im close to 8 months now ans the last month i have gone spaced out again and my legs feel like jelly. Quite frustrating as this is how I felt about 3 months ago, but it had worn off....so just fighting through everyday as it comes.
Hi Lori,
Oh really hoping this awful phase settles down soon man, you must be exhausted and worn out and just want you to know I'm still thinking about you and praying for you. Hang in there Lori, things will get better and this tough period is going to pass I sitll believe that. We need God's help today I know I do for sure and praying for help for you and everyone on the site with any decisions about health treatments or supplements or anything like that right now.
Craig
Oh so sorry to hear you had to cancel your trip Malene, I do things settle and that you can manage to get on a nice trip away soon. I'm still thinking about you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers - still quite up and down myself with various things too, hoping God can have mercy and help us through. Hold on Malene, you're going to get through this I still believe and there will be nice trips and times ahead once this is all over.
Craig
Hang in there Dodge, goodness you must be so weary after 8 months of this. I remember after 8 months feeling the same as you and had a bit of a setback at 9 months but after 10 months something seemed to start to change and really then started to work towards proper recovery - it's different for everyone as you say but just hang in there and remember things will get better and you won't have to go through another 8 months like that, no way will you have to I truly believe that - the up and down nature of recovery is so frustrating but you will get there absolutely you will.
Craig
yes the up and down of this virus is just horrible. im taking so many supplements i have to do it in stages. i figure take anything to boost the immune system but i now see this a strong strong virus . not sure if they are helping at all but going to keep with it . and yes vitamin b can give you energy and makes me a bit hyper too ... maybe take it in the morning or if its too much take 1/2 pill.
Hey Lori,
Just wanted you to know you're still in my thoughts and prayers right now. I do hope this can be a more settled week for you as the last few weeks just sound as though they have been so painful and hard - praying that things can stabilise this week I really hope that Lori and ask God.
I had a better week last week but yesterday and this morning been a bit more shaky again, sciatica bothering me more and just mentally sometimes I lose a bit of confidence and start dwelling on things and complaining to those around me and just don't want to be like that Lori. I know I need God's help more than ever right now, still very fragile and just grateful for all his help and mercy to me even when I have been acting like a fool and don't deserve it.
Hang in there Lori, still trusting that God is going to heal us and bring us through all our troubles. And let's keep helping and encouraging each other - means so much to me all the kind words you and others have given me thanks so much!
You're not in this alone Lori - and you're gonna get through it and get well again. I TRULY TRULY believe that.
Craig
I hope you're feeling a little better after you stopped the supplement, how stressful for you.
So sorry you couldn't go on your trip, thankfully I went to Vienna, but I was looking forward to England too. I'm in Denmark, where are you Lori?
I've had an irritating night, just felt off with a slight fever wonder if I should see my doctor, but what can she really do. Not fun to deal with this on my own, so glad we have this site and I know what I'm experiencing is fairly normal. Except I believe maybe we are the unlucky ones, who have a bad and extended case of mono.
Thinking of you.
Thanks Craig, yes that was annoying, was looking forward to visiting beautiful England, will have to go back maybe in the spring, but honestly I was glad to stay home instead of trying to go, and the stress of that.
Not feeling too good today, just feeling off and I little nauseous, tiny bit of fever....
I hope we all start feeling a lot better, I'm 6 months in, for many of you a turning point.
And I hope your back settles soon, so debilitating to have back pain, especially extended periods, it can really wear on your patience, please don't be too hard on yourself, you can't really help it, it is incredibly taxing to have pain for that long.
I hope you are able to take properly care of yourself, and get some treatments (they can be so expensive) and that your job situation isn't too challenging.
thank you craig ! im having some of the worst days ive had since this all started 6 months ago . i do hope its a case of it gets worse before it gets better as really struggling. trying to keep a level head and just get through each day . the mental torture on top of the fatigue and ill feeling is the worst. im so happy you had a good week when you're having a bad moment just keep thinking of that 'good week ' and just consider it a minor setback and yes i pray to GOD many times a day ... to give me the strength to get through this . my mom always says 'if i can get through today God i can get through tomorrow '
hang in there lori, you may be on the home stretch even if you dont feel like it
how long did you take off work craig?
thanks dodge i have the same issue sleeping! will stop the Vitamin B today and see if anything changes..
Thanks Malene for your kind and encouraging words, always means a lot and I see you as a great source of help and wisdom here on the site for me and others, and all that despite how you've been feeling yourself shows how caring you are!
I do hope things settle soon Malene and yes absolutely that is something I really hope you can do in the spring. It's always a blow when you are looking forward to something and you feel it's taken away due to this virus, it's hard to take I know but remember you will get there Malene and the trips away and good times will be all the sweeter in the future because you will feel much better and just be so glad and grateful not to be in that horrible place.
I've just been up and down just been facing so many issues it feels like one thing settles another seems to flare up and it just taking its toll on me a bit. I'm still lucky though and still grateful for God's help and all the things I have.
Thinking of you Malene and remember each tough day right now is another day when your body is getting on top of this thing a bit more, and every day is a day away from the day of infection and towards recovery. It took me another few months from where you are to start to see major change, so hang in there Malene it's on its way and you will absolutely get there and won't have to go through another 6 months like this one again I do truly believe that. Thinking of you and you take care!
Craig
Thanks for the best wishes Lori, I'm still up and down myself at the moment needing God to help me got quite a way to go yet, still very fragile and a lot of issues to get through.
Just praying God lifts our burdens from us Lori. Sent you a message too man. Still thinking about you and believing in your recovery and this phase of such mental pain is so common in this virus and it does pass, it doesn't last forever but I know it's so deep and hurtful. Jesus loves us Lori and praying that God sends His angels to encourage and protect and lift us up today in our situations.
Craig
Hi Ant,
Oh well for me I was off work completely for 5 months, and it was only after about 15 months that I started to work 3 full days per week and probably took me another year or so to get back working full time again.
Everyone is different and I know some try to work through, I just felt I couldn't do that and would struggle to do that and a lot of it was just confidence in being able to work again too and that I could work and not feel unwell for it.
Hang in there Ant, remember you are going to get through this and take as long as you need to take regarding work - I know it's a horrible stress to be off, I'm in the process now of losing job after being off for over a year and it's awful. But remember do put your health first at this time and hoping and praying things settle soon and you can get back to work at the right time for you when feeling much better.
Craig
