Four Years of Long COVID. One Appointment Changed Everything.

Ernie went from averaging 30,000 steps a day to being nearly bedridden after 2021—failing lung tests even with an inhaler, battling crushing brain fog, constant shaking, and being told by doctor after doctor that nothing was wrong. After four years of searching for answers, one appointment changed everything. In this episode of The Long Haul with Summer, Ernie shares how he finally found a care team that listened, built a clear plan, and supported him through treatment from out of state—then accelerated it on-site in Birmingham with adjunct therapies like HBOT, red light therapy, SoftWave, and EBOO. Today, his pulmonary function tests are normal, and he’s back to running, hiking, and rebuilding the life Long COVID stole—with a message of faith, persistence, and hope for anyone still stuck in the cycle of dismissal.
