Well since my last few updates I started to suffer from exhaustion and extreme tiredness by about Thursday into Friday. I had to take Fridays off work temporarily. I've probably done that for six weeks to help myself out. I think that running out of max dose lactoferrin, not having taken any...

If you pray, will you pray for me please? I have covid pneumonia and was just sent home by ambulance by an overworked worn out ER. If you know how severe my situation already was, you know I could use all the prayers. 🙏💗

(This relates to matters in the Republic of Ireland so may have minimal interest for people in other countries) I thought I would make a quick post to share some extracts from, and comments on, “The Green Paper on Disability Reform: a flawed effort to reform payments for people with...

After herxing a lot yesterday taking 250mcg of kpv for a bad head cold I woke up today feeling pretty good, not 100% but still better than the previous day. Brainfog and worsened dizziness are very common with kpv but always abate the following day and almost always 90% of the time are followed...

I started to feel better around day 40, lactoferrin 900mg a day appeared to ameliorate coat hangar pain. Then this weekend after trying lots of antihistamines and decongestants (most of which crashed me for 24 hours) the coat hanger pain lifted and I now don't have any. I am only taking low...

A few months ago, I reacted negatively to a potent neuropeptide, which plunged me back into bedbound bizarro world where I remain today—disillusioned, frustrated, and bored—with the added side effect of an increased appetite on par with that of a black bear. Since then, I have been questioning...

Greetings. I am still alive. And if you are reading this, you are still alive, too. Congratulations! Please forgive my lack of posting. I've been a lowdown dirty depressed sort of human during these recent weeks, but heck, things could turn around suddenly. Improvement is just on the horizon...

it's been 5 days on and today off of osha root. I could have survived a full week but after an initial herx of pain all through my jaw and head with abdominal cramps at random and a background of terrible fatigue that turned into largely just some abdominal pain now and then plus the fatigue I...

Lung pain has definitely gone since taking two 5mg hydrocortisone doses one week apart six weeks post covid. My energy envelope is improving as well. However neuro inflammation seems to be much higher than it was pre COVID. Hopefully it will fully recover by six months. But I'm still on the...

A TRIP OUT This week I did something I hadn't done in a while - I went to the cinema. I was very excited to see a movie in person, rather than on the TV at home. I drove myself there to meet a friend and spent most of my time simply sitting down, so hoped I wouldn't be too tired afterwards...

I've got air hunger now which I haven't had for about two or three years and fatigue in my upper arms with bad coathanger pain. Again haven't had those since 2022 probably about October time. Why did it get better? Not sure but I think not getting COVID would have helped. I'm hopeful tho that...

The past few days have been up and down. I learned I wasn't able to tolerate the gluconate or citrate types of potassium so I decided to try the bicarbonate version which is the type found in food and was alright with that and it's been helping with my energy while keeping me a bit more level at...

I've been suffering with a ton of inflammation since about week 2 (after taking some citalopram) of covid recovery. Inflammation is all over but I feel it most in my throat, neck and ent nerves/glands and tonsils. However I think it is also manifesting as insomnia and quite possibly anxiety as...

Today I woke up already somewhat exhausted and it was the second day off the round of activated charcoal I gave myself and day 3 of propolis. It seems to be sitting well with my and consistently keeping inflammation low so until it tells me otherwise I'm keeping in my supplement stack. Pretty...
