I’m not sure what constitutes severe LC here but I had been bedridden with severe heart palpitations, multiple ER visits, inability to even go to the bathroom without almost passing out. The couch was the furthest I went for almost a year…

Then over time, I’ve tried Paxlovid for 6 months, helped move the needle up a notch (probably saw best results the first 4 months).

Best results have been from antibiotics and then mitochondrial support supplements. These 2 have moved the needle big time!

I’m still not well, but I’m able to go out and run errands, drive, and have even been able to tolerate a 4 day vacation with 14 hours of driving (I was the passenger).

I will say that my LC has been broken down into the categories of gut issues (hence antibiotics help!), mitochondrial dysfunction, and MCAS.
(When my gut issues are treated, everything is better, so I’m actually looking into FMT)

But I take supplements like high doses of Ubiquinol which helped tremendously, then used ChatGPT to work on finding further supplements to continue supporting my mitochondria along with research. And I take supplements for my MCAS and gut health.

It takes a year for mitochondria to heal so I’ve got another 6 months to go. But things really changed after taking my mitochondrial supplements after about 2 months. I’m no longer crashing back on the couch every 2 weeks! It’s been months since that’s happened. I was even able to garden a little!
