I woke up this morning feeling awful. This virus hits different everyday. I only function due to some of the medications I take every morning. It gets exhausting but I make myself get up, take my medications and try again. Hang in there all of you suffering from this horrible inflammatory disease.

@pattig09 May I ask what test to ask for to have your T-Cells tested? I am suffering from Long Covid and have lost my taste and smell now for 4 years. I am currently wearing a 7 mg Nicotine Patch daily and have been for about 4 weeks. I noticed better balance and energy levels seem higher. I am also having Green “Violet” Laser Light Therapy through my chiropractor’s office 3 x’s per week, but am in Mexico for 6 weeks now and haven’t had them. I haven’t noticed any changes from not having them, so I’m not sure if they’re really helping with taste and smell.

@lkirnbauer T-Cells and T cytotoxic cells, ratios and absolutes include: CD 3, CD 8, CD 4, CD 16, CD56.

Nicotine patches: My doctor found a cyclical program of a week on for 12 hours a day, then a pause of a week, then start over again with week on then a pause until box is empty. 30 in my box of patches. Make sure the package has no other ingredients, just pure nicotine as it makes a difference. I put it right under my chin. That you felt more energy was actually good news.

Certainly and you as well. I try to get as much information to others as I possibly can. There is a need for awareness of this. Some people I encounter have never even heard of it. which blows my mind.
