Same age here. Liver transplant survivor of 19 yrs. Also have non-CF bronchiectasis (progressive lung disease), and now long COVID since late 2021, Delta version of Covid, my second case. I have exhaustion almost all the time,brain fog, memory problems, a blood clot caused ischemic in my large colon in Aug 2022, they thought I had colon cancer, transferred my to my transplant center 400 miles away by private ambulance. Starting in Nov 2022, I had vertigo(dizziness) and nause very bad for 10 wks.
Now I’ve learned by constant research that LC causes the mitochondria in muscle cells to be damaged or destroyed. Mitochondria is where the energy for our muscles is made. They discovered this by doing biopsies of muscle cells. Then they found same thing in other diseases like Long Lyme, Chronic Fatigue, ME, etc.,
So then I researched what I could do for damaged/destroyed mitochondria and found quite a few supplements, in large doses may help., Ubiquinol, NAC, ALA, D-Ribose, Creatine, etc etc. so that’s what I’m trying now.
Yes…mitochondria is the latest focus of the research. And looks promising. I take all the supplements but actually need to know the effective dosages. Get out of our way Big Pharma!!
Supplements have been heaven sent for many of us.
