Long Covid Club
But let’s be honest, as far as clubs go, it’s not exactly the greatest one to be part of.
I have been a member since March 2022, and I am here to share what has helped me.
Start here
As someone with Long Covid myself, I know that you are here to find answers, and your energy and concentration is limited.
Therefore I will try to keep things to the point, with short sentences, summaries and breaks in the content, like the picture section below.
My Microclots and Platelet Hyperactivation
As part of a medical trial, I obtained slides of my blood work over the course of 9 months. This is what these slides looked like when I was at my sickest:
Plasma/Microclots 2023-08-10
Platelet Hyperactivation 2023-03-31
There was also a scan from 19 June 2023, where I spotted this little microclot, which became the logo/mascot for this site.
And then, after 9 months of treatment, my blood work was clear!
However, I still had several lingering symptoms, some of which I am still working on today.
As to why I was not cured when the microclots disappeared? My best guess is that there are still microclots in my muscle tissue, still high levels of inflammation in my body or that the microclots have caused damage to my body that needs to be repaired.
Things that work for me
I have tried a lot of things; from camel milk to hyperbaric oxygen therapy and saunas, from supplements to medications, from lifestyle changes to mind-body practices.
Through self experimentation, I have found a few things that have helped me, and I will share them with you here.
Short Term: Crash Protocol
When I start feeling the telltale signs of a crash, I follow this Crash Protocol
Long Term: The Kitchen Sink Protocol
I have designed a Kitchen Sink Protocol that I follow every day, which includes a lot of supplements, medications, lifestyle changes, mind-body practices and alternative therapies.
It is my sincere hope that you will find something here that will help you and may you be blessed on your journey to recovery.
Good luck and Godspeed.
Chris
