Finally a doctor that speaks logically, with scientific thought and doesn’t gas light these poor patients struggling to recover.

I reccomend prolonged fasting. DYOR on the topic and make sure your in the right health to do it safely. I have seen a great improvement in my LC after a 3 day water fast paired with supplementing RESVERATROL & QUEURCITIN. This triggers autophagy and clears the blood of spike proteins!!🙏🏼

To his question on LDN: I am ME/CFS & Long Covid contracted pre vaccine. Yes I use LDN. Took just 8 weeks to normalize CRP levels. Important to me it addressed brain fog. Almost eliminated daily crash naps. Gives me insurance policy against cytokine storm if I get reinfected probably. For now will continue to use. It's so safe we don't need to wait for the pending studies. 60% improvement for me.

I actually got vaccine induced long Covid and am presently in an ongoing NIH study regarding the same. The symptoms are similar to CFS, except I got paralysis, vestibular equilibrium loss, etc. IVIg helps a little, antihistamines helped some, mostly pacing. But, if I get sick, complete rebound. Rather frustrating.

I haven't been diagnosed with long covid but had to quit both jobs and even sleeping enough doesn't alleviate the fatigue. I can walk and do most daily things, but get so tired after just 10 minutes of walking... absolutely frustrating

@mamaslomba Жыл бұрын

I would rethink your decision if I were you: it sounds like your doctor is trying to help you by seeing if Paxlovid might get rid of possible viral pieces in your body (it is an antiviral medication that they are studying in clinical trials now) and giving you an antidepressant (an SSRI specifically) may help with neuro inflammation and can help with mood too to help cope with being a long hauler which is hard. Partnering with our doctors is all that we can do at this point. Stay strong.

My dr did the same thing -- prescribed drug for depression and drug for anxiety. Doctors don't know and don't take long covid fir the gravely debilitating disease it is.

@bradsalz4084 Жыл бұрын

There is a related compound called dextro-naltrexone. My understanding is that it is a sterioisomer of naltrexone which is active at microglia receptors (like ordinary naltrexone) but has no activity on opiod receptors. Because of this it is not limited to the same low doses that ordinary naltrexone is prescribed at making it an attractive alternative to LDN. Do you know of any research papers that discuss dextro-naltrexone?

Does anyone else have long covid with brain fog, extreme fatigue, joint pain(fingers and pelvis), visual migraines and shortness of breath with no diagnostic tests to confirm long covid???

@lauragott2122 Жыл бұрын

Yes, I've had EBV and CV infections. Auto immune with psoriasis and neuro antibodies, PEM now worse after CV along with allergies and persistent cough/phlegm that I did not have b4 CV; Balance issues, migraines, ortho hypotension, tachycardia, dizziness and bad brain fog. Short term memory dysfunctional, focus on tasks on bad days quite distractible. The analysis Dr. Kaufman makes that he thinks the patholgy in both long CV and EBV/MECFS are the same, I agree wholeheartedly with. Same symptoms in both. I really feel that the inflammation, esp. in the brain, is attributed to the latent/reactivated infections since symptoms are sooo long term. Most of mine have been ongoing since 1987. Also possibility of micro-clots causing them. I'm doing grain free Paleo diet for gluten sensitivity, has helped the psoriasis.
