long covid

I thought this recent paper probably deserved its own discussion thread... Long COVID or Post-acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC): An Overview of Biological Factors That May Contribute to Persistent Symptoms (Proal and VanElzakker, 2021)...

https://openletteropenmedicinefoundation.com/long-covid-and-environmental-toxins-lake-tahoe-2-0/ Is the CDC and general scientific community retreading ground from the Lake Tahoe outbreak that caused the invention of the CFS syndrome /category of illness ? Are they reinventing the wheel, so to...

https://openletteropenmedicinefoundation.com/long-covid-and-environmental-toxins-lake-tahoe-2-0/ Heres a short post I made on my website about long covid and mold. Hopefully google indexes it soon. For now, hopefully I can get some eyes on it by posting it here.

The video below is one of the best summaries I have seen on what we know so far about Long Covid, and it is very educational as well. In short: * Non-classical monocytes, responsible for clearing out pathogens, are unable to digest the Covid S1 protein. They are left in a persistent active...

Since they finally seem to have their first paper published soon, this time for real, hopefully, I'd like to discuss this latest update. Their main point for the symptomology is angiogenesis and vasodilation. This also happens in MCAS and CFS/ME, though. This is why histamine-induced symptoms...

Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care (FLCCC) Alliance will be giving a webinar tomorrow evening announcing their management protocol for Long-haul COVID Syndrome (LHCS). They will be sharing their experience, which they claim has returned many patients back to health. Tomorrow, Thursday, June 17th...

Good piece in the Guardian looking at various theories. Very applicable to ME, as well. One of the things it says is "Some scientists have already begun to describe long Covid as an oestrogen-associated autoimmune disease..." which is very interesting and not something I've seen mentioned...

In the COVID-19 Longhauler Advocacy Project Facebook group, I posted a poll asking members of that group which subtype of long COVID they most identify with. Long COVID subtypes include: post-viral fatigue (similar or the same as ME/CFS), heart and/or lung damage (which may be permanent) and...

Gotta love Lenny Jason! COVID-19 symptoms over time: comparing long-haulers to ME/CFS (Jason et al., 2021) Leonard A. Jason, Mohammed F. Islam, Karl Conroy, Joseph Cotler, Chelsea Torres, Mady Johnson & Brianna Mabie https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/21641846.2021.1922140 Excerpt:

I created this plot to analyze if COVID-19 somehow contributed to an increased awareness for CFS/ME. The latest Google Trends data show increased searches for Long COVID in Google and YouTube - multitudes greater than for CFS/ME. There is no increased awareness for CFS/ME from Long-COVID...

The inducement for this post is the growing publicity of the theory that Long-COVID is just a simple disease in disguise, such as MCAS, and that there is a quick solution around the corner. For MCAS, a low histamine diet would be a simple fix to all the problems. This is the subtext of the...

I found this research from Dr. Farid Jalali, and it finally explains why severe COVID-19 is so severe despite antivirals and immune suppressants. It's all driven by serotonin from destroyed platelets. I'm mentioning this because it can also explain the damage to the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB)...

I have a pre-existing condition, multiple chemical sensitivities, which upon more recent testing looks to be caused by an insufficiency of the appropriate amino acids as well as mercury poisoning which allowed candida, SIBO, H. pylori, and ulcers to flourish. I was worried for a bit when the...

Well this is interesting... Here's a new, fascinating paper that detected inflammatory cells in the eye in Long Covid patients 2-3 months after infection. Since the optic nerve at the back of the eye is part of the nervous system, and the optic nerve is a major route for drainage of brain...

Long Covid: A summary of discussions on Phoenix Rising So remember back in January when we were all wondering if the novel coronavirus might result in an ME/CFS-like condition? Well, I thought I would start a thread to collect together all the discussions that might be relevant to "Long...

For those of you unfamiliar with STAT, it's a website geared towards the medical community. They just published a piece by David Tuller, the academic who wrote the PACE expose: https://www.statnews.com/2020/09/11/persistent-symptoms-after-covid19-hard-to-study/ Excerpt:
