Symptoms explanation?

[Angel Bryan]

Do we know why symptoms happen? Since this started, I have joint cracking and occasional joint pain, also anxiety and my body sometimes feels heavy like it's made of concrete.

I am not hyper mobile nor have family history of it, I didn't had any health issues before and all of my autoimmune and inflammation markers are negative at the time I am writing this post.

What I know is that I have dysbiosis and the classic ME/CFS and Long COVID microbiome profile. Most of the explanations I've seen for the symptoms are related to the microbiome, the metabolites they produce and hidden infections but I want to know if there is any definitive data that explains them and not just hypothesis which is the best I've found so far.

Anyone know what's really going on?

i have no clue at all.

but if it comes to joints everything which helps those tissues might help:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin D + K2 + Magnesium
- Glycine!
- Zink / Copper
- Potassium!
- and of course staying hydrated

- the heavy feeling could be of muscular nature, electrolyte imbalance, atp deficiency. this could also be the reason for your joint issues. when the muscles not work optimal the stress goes from muscles to the tissues below , thats your joints and bones.
for that i would look at
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- B1 / Thiamine / Benfothiamie / Allithiamine

joint cracking

I get help from Chinese Traditional Medicine (herbs) and they view all of this from an entirely different perspective. I've gotten more improvement from working with this really excellent herbalist. He has 100s lf chinese raw herbs in his office. He studied for many years.

Joint cracking is wind, part of an imbalance energetically. I've found some herb-related substances reduce wind, as do diet shifts where you avoid foods which generate wind.

But that is just one example of our bodies are out of balance due to a neuroimmune problem it seems.

Some people make more progress feeling better than others. Discipline. Tons of research and experimentation on yourself. That can be tedious but may yield improvement..
