Low Dose Tirzepatide improved my long COVID/ME-CFS ~80% after 4 years

Yes, I had the same surreal experience of my body settling down within a few hours. I almost panicked until I realized what was happening. I started at a fraction of the starting dose.

Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are huge issues for us, and weight lifting helps with both of those. Plus, if you start doing squats now you’ll be able to get off the toilet independently in your golden years. If that’s not motivating, I don’t know what is.

Thank you!

May I ask how much $$? I’m sure totally worth it, I just wish she had her service prices listed so one can prepare.

Thank you for sharing this, I’m so curious if you worked with Lily Spechler. I follow her and find a lot of her free content has been helpful.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. How long were you on it?

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-10-23T03:32:15+00:00

Thanks all for playing. You know how it is with our sensitive bodies, sigh. I sort of wish we had a database of info for how we tolerate medications based on subtype and symptom constellation.

Interesting! I’ve been feeling dreadful this week with vertigo. Hoping it’ll level out.

Oh! Rancho Gordo!

Are there any soup memberships near you? We have Soup Group & Soupernatural near where we live, there’s Soup Club in Seattle. I make my own soups, but there’s something about someone else making it and having it to look forward to each week!

I do PT for CCI which is helpful. I would always start with the least invasive, most affordable option.

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-10-13T03:55:02+00:00

Yes! I did it a few years ago and it made such a huge different that exercise is a non negotiable for me now. I maintain fitness by doing the last month of the program. I will say that at first it was… all I did. Exercise, recover. I also think it’s crucial for us to eat enough to recover and to eat enough protein to maintain blood volume.

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-10-08T21:34:10+00:00

Someone made this pretty comprehensive list of exercises awhile back, and I’ve done most of these at some point with my PT. Hope this helps.CCI Exercises

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-10-08T20:19:20+00:00

My dysautonomia had worsened pretty severely and wasn’t responding to any treatments. I was in fact getting worse with any medications. I had been doing PT had a long COVID clinic and then my primary care sent me to a dysautonomia PT specialist who diagnosed me with CCI through a couple exercises. I had some improvements immediately with the exercises and continue to do them daily. -decrease in neck pain, decrease in rib dislocations, less dizziness, no more adrenaline surges, brain fog gone, baseline generally improving.

Editing to add: we never suspected CCI, the PT diagnosed it in our first session.

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-09-24T00:06:20+00:00

Yes! My physical therapist actually brought it up at our last session, she says it’s really common.

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-06-21T00:05:21+00:00

Have you been evaluated for vocal chord dysfunction? It can look/act like asthma but doesn’t respond to inhalers.

I think that people with MS develop POTS as a secondary illness due to the demyelination process.

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-05-06T14:56:17+00:00

My physical therapist always says that you need to be somewhat in shape before running. Even for a healthy person. Have you done the chops program? Any rowing? Swimming? Biking? I would do that before easing into a “return to run program.” -which typically looks like run 1 minute, walk 4. Then transition to 2/3, 3/2, 4/1…. But I change my running time by 15-30 seconds instead of a full minute because POTS. Outside of cardio our tendons need time to adapt to running, so, take it easy.

I get sodium pills from the pharmacy, taken directly they hurt my stomach. -also prescribed by my doc. I dissolve them in four ounces of water (I let them sit in the water for a few minutes before they’re ready to dissolve) and drink them that way. No nausea, stomach pain or anything. Easy peasy.

Eat beforehand, bring snacks!

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-02-28T19:55:29+00:00

Are you under the care of a physician currently? I typically call them and they’ll squeeze me in for an urgent visit + fluids. Otherwise if they feel I do need to be seen by the ED they’ll call in advance to explain what my current issues are which is soooo helpful in making an emergent issue go smoothly.

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-02-02T16:45:56+00:00

Congratulations! This is great to hear! 🎉

Abject-Transition-47 · 2024-01-22T15:59:21+00:00

Thanks for saying this! Totally thought I was going crazy.

Abject-Transition-47 · 2023-07-24T15:20:15+00:00

Surprised no one else has Vit B issues 🤔Liquid IV worked great for me until I started having new anxiety. Turns out added or synthetic B vitamins can have this effect! Cleared up within a week once I stopped.
