Anyone tried TPE for long Covid symptoms? Thinking about trying this:

This is very interesting. I viewed the video. I am curious about confirmation of how to diagnose the blood with this condition. Are people being diagnosed with it? Is it called anemia?

A randomized trial showed no improvement from TPE for long covid but case studies of individual cases have. I would love to try it, as the medical premise makes sense. But so expensive. I got a cost estimate from a clinic near me for $8,000 for one exchange procedure.

@forest32 I had 25 transfusions with IgG with no results except maybe a slight improvement in my neuropathy my left foot. I am thining this neuropathy is due to numerous cellulitis attackes in that leg however.
