Post-COVID Recovery is a Paradox

rmca,
Thanks for your post. I have had LC since Feb 2023 with symptoms getting worse and new symptoms arriving thru these last few months. I have read and watched every presentation I could find on the topic of LC --not only the clinical researchers in the large medical centers but also what naturopaths have to say on the topic of recovery from LC. My LC has slowed down as long as I take it easy and stick to my plant based diet and don't push any kind of exercise or exertion.
I was intrigued about the information I found on Cytokines -- low levels and the cytokine storms. I found an article interesting that is on the University of Utah Health and is titled: STUDY PROVIDES NEW CLUES INTO CAUSES OF LONG COVID SYMPTOMS. Sorry I could not post a link because I am fairly new to this forum.
I recently ordered a product that I am hoping will help. I also am using lots of natural herbs / supplements to manage and hopefully take care of the symptoms. This is the product I am using: The HomeGrown Herbalist Respiratory – Cytokine Balance Formula tincture. The ingredients are: Ingredients: Grape Leaf, Turmeric, Garlic, Ginger, Milk Thistle, Skullcap. I already eat lots of garlic and ginger so hoping this formula may help even more.

By the way, I had a neurologist tell me that garlic AND ginger root capsules can cause bruising…pooling of blood especially when you bump yourself even if lightly.

Your determination sure sounds good to me. I was at the place you seem to be at…and by doing what you are doing to have made extreme progress. I don’t know. What your symptoms are, but I can tell you I am totally functional dealing with the residual symptoms…the fatigue being the worst and some others that are rather bizarre. But I’m convinced if I get the cytokines/histamine under control then I will be good to go. I will read the article you suggested. I don’t stop reading and researching the subject. Im on basically all the supplements you mentioned plus about 25 additional ones. Again all my tests are normal…which is good news. But I have to get the cytokine craziness conquered. Most of the doctors don’t pay attention to the things we are discussing. But your holistic approach , I believe is where the answers are at. I hope your body is in a speedier healing mode than mine, but don’t slow down in beating the attack…2 1/2 years into this, I’m dedicated to saving my own life. Im not intimidated by any doctors. I know myself and what I can do. I hope you incorporate some form of exercise. You don’t have to”push it” but you do have to move even if it’s a walk around the block. I go nowhere without my mask. I am totally paranoid about getting illness let alone Covid again!!!
Wishing you well….Hoping for good news you can share with all..
