Found this today and thought I’d share. Not sure how reliable MedScape is, but this aligns with what I’ve been reading. I also plan to share this with my medical team:

I found articles and videos on Epoch TV and Epoch News that really did a good job with long Covid-19 and they are by doctors. Media doesn't want regular people to know this information and many insurance companies won't even help, so for people that can't afford to pay out of pocket, it looks like we are stuck!

Beware of Metformin. See the publication link below of the meta analysis of over 210,000 individuals treated with Metformin. Treatment length increasing is associated with increasing peripheral neuropathy. At a point, the probability is 2 to 3x higher developing PN. The publication is worth reaing.

PN is terrible. I have a modest to moderate level in both my feet, depending on the day, due to pulmomary emboli, DVT, and SVT (s). PN has improved since last year when it reached peak (burning, very sensitive, painful for water or socks to touch, the feel of swollen places across the bottom of my feet) in March to April. Like Covid and Long Covid, you would not wish PN or the two syndrome and diaease on an enemy.

Hey - it’s a website with published studies, so it’s more for helping us to educate our doctors on this. Check it out.

Thanks! I hadn’t heard that before. I do know it’s been helpful for some folks I know, but I appreciate the head’s up!
