@bentstiks2 FIRST step was to focus on the factual evidence for pain in my body; where and when did it begin: I had Covid D in March 2023 resulting in yellow nasal drainage testing positive within weeks of taking a vaccine. And, why was this still present and testing positive for Covid a year later? The doctors were explaining they found my symptoms 'confusing' and unrelated AND they didn't know where to start. Within a year and a half, logic pointed to the 'yellow ooze' drainage as the starting point. When surgery was complete and the yellow drainage stopped. That surgery an antibiotic caused C-Diff which interrupted all healing processes. But, not having yellow spike protein fragments coming out of my sinuses made it possible for doctors to actually 'see' each unique symptom remaining which needed to be treated individually. For example, Covid D took away my smell and taste, but sinus surgery did not bring it back. My taste buds had been damaged and spike proteins were being stored in fatty tissues of my tongue. Nicotine patches brought back my taste and smell, but surgery did not. I interrupted the ACE-2 inhibitor invasions by covid spikes but surgery would not have done this. Then there was the separate issue of a destroyed gut system not caused by Covid D. Nearly 2 years of chronic Antibiotic massive treatments were the actual cause of mid section pain that made me feel like I was dying; it was not Covid that caused this pain. Covid certainly complicated it when the fragments hit my stomach and moved into my gut. Once that was isolated in the gut and cleared out, the sinuses which had already begun healing after surgery began a much more a rapid healing without C-Diff. The liver damage isolation came after the sinuses healed, after the C-Diff was eliminated. One day at a time for restoration of my liver. Glutathione was for me a miracle as it allowed me to get a full 8 hours of sleep, change my body aches in muscles and joints. While these are just words, they mattered to me: Don't just treat the pain, treat the symptoms. The key question: where to start? I wish all Long Covid sufferers the blessing of finding the medical professional that listens to you, reads what you present for ALL symptoms but as 'individual causation items', and focus on how to treat you using facts that have begun to surface in the world of medical research labs. As an engineer I just need to understand what happened to me.
