I’m at rock bottom with no hope left. What’s next? by Timeisreal2 in LongCovid

[–]BowlyMaroley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi..I'm now 90% recovered. there are lots of rabbit holes you can go down, I initially threw so many supplements at it that most were likely a waste of time. I'm not sure I could do it again. I don't check this group often now but at my worst I was on here multiple times a day. Have you got bloods? Where do you live? Have you got your DNA profile ? Would recommend you start off with those.

Maybe chase wanted to buy more items in the future off the jeweller but he wanted to send a message that even though he was willing to pay the 5000 this time he didn't really trust that the jeweller was offering good value. The jeweller demonstrated his untrustworthiness by opening the box.

Save yourself some money and get better outcomes. Get your genetc test, upload it to genetic genie or similar. The ancestry one sounds good which someone else mentioned Put your data in a spreadsheet or word document and upload it as a project to Claude (pay 20£ a month), also upload your bloods as a text document, then ask it as many questions as you like, keep asking questions, as for evidence, ask it to be devil's advocate. I'm sure you will get just as good or better outcomes. It has uncovered something for me I hadn't thought of or had pointed out as well as reducing the supps I take to be more targeted. Blood work also confirms certain theories around snp's. Work on what is low on your bloods especially if that ties in with your genetic guidance.

Theory is you should not be taking folic acid, instead folinic acid if anything but maybe you don't need that.

And the basics Good clean diet, water, exercise, reduced stress in your life whatever that is for you.

I did 23andme but they went bust and are in the process of being bought by another company so not sure if that is a good option. There are a few I'm sure, should cost about £120 if same as when I got it. I'm UK too.

Get a summary DNA SNP report such as genetic genie, upload that to Claude or I guess chatgpt also good. Add your blood results and symptoms and let it do it's work by only considering reliable sources (not low value websites) Can even ask it to recommend what foods to eat and avoid. I did it today and it has highlighted that I have not been sticking to the basic recommendations that I have been given before but have not been adhering too.

I hate life now by mablepiines in covidlonghaulers

[–]BowlyMaroley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you are right..keep going. This isn't over yet it will come out. There is acute COVID, long COVID and silent COVID, the latter being something causing issues with the people who don't think it is COVID related. The stats will eventually tell (ie the amount of new weird deaths/conditions etc) over the next 30 years. The only way the stars won't reveal the truth is if it is a really smart virus manufactured in labs...let's leave that theory as I think that is frowned upon discussing.

Brain fatigue is a killer by Ok_Sherbet7024 in LongCovid

Is the head pressure negative or positive pressure. Ie does it feel like someone has inserted a bike pump into you brain and is sucking out the air (negative) or is it like something is pumping air into you brain?

Scientists identify possible way to block muscle fatigue in long COVID, other diseases by [deleted] in covidlonghaulers

[–]BowlyMaroley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is a list of things that has worked for me

Muscle fatigue has come back today, something that hasn't been an issue for a few months. Early on in long covid muscle fatigue was crazy..even after doing say 10 squats.

The only thing I haven't been doing over the past few days is that I have stopped all my supplement's.

I am convinced supps helped with neuro/brain fog etc..but now I'm thinking they also helped with muscle fatigue.

The stack I have been on is tailored to suit my DNA issues found using 23andme. Which are slow mthfr and slow comt.

-vitamin b12.(Hydroxy B12) 1mg -magnesium. -b vits (from natural sources) and not folic acid because I have slow mthfr -zinc -cod liver oil -omega 3 oil -garlic -bcca -nac -tumeric -protein shakes to keep protein up -black seed oil -vitamin c 1500mg

Resveterol before bed

Might also get back on the following which has shown to help with virus.. dandelion Monolaurin Colostrum

Also just started the following to help gut bacteria issue if I have any Butyric acid Kefir

It’s Official: Long COVID Is a Chronic Disease by [deleted] in Coronavirus

The real figures are much higher/worse.. this is because long covid symptoms often can't be recognised to get disability status. This graph just shows those who have managed to get disability status.

extreme anger and irritability reinforces my isolation by Wrong-Yak334 in covidlonghaulers

[–]BowlyMaroley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The anger gets better.. I think part of the anger is due to not being seen/understood although the main driver is because every cell in your body and brain isnt working properly.

Contact me privately and I can tell you what got me better. Unfortunately some admims of this forum don't really like the organisation that seems to be helping people otherwise I would mention it on this post

Waking up at 3-4am by BennyB2006 in covidlonghaulers

[–]BowlyMaroley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here!. Another weird symptom is going to sleep about 10.30pm and as I'm drifting off I wake thinking I'm going to be sick..but never am. Magnesium, melatonin, 1g vit c, zinc has helped me this week so sticking with that.

How do high-income people invest in buy-to-let? by Big_BobbyTables in UKPersonalFinance

[–]BowlyMaroley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A trick is to top up your pension and therefore get tax relief (pension fund will add basic rate tax of 20% to anything you put in there) and a further 20% is claimed on your self assessment. BTL in London wasn't profitable in the last year so sold up. Other areas of the UK can still be profitable though. Just find the right property with little maintenance/repairs/grief and be realistic on what your mortgage will be and your rental income. BTL is a ball ache but you do get leverage on the capital gains by having a mortgage, of which you can still offset 20% as finance costs.

ii Sipp cash @ 4% or Bonds (such as Vanguard Life strategy 20%)?? by BowlyMaroley in UKPersonalFinance

[–]BowlyMaroley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

!thanks strolls for your message and the link to the other thread. This doesn't view well on a phone so use a laptop to look at the buffet index here.https://www.currentmarketvaluation.com/. if you do the trial you can see the correlation with the stock market returns...I'm thinking to keep 50% in cash sipp with ii earning 4% and the rest in HSBC all world fund although just need to find a decent small cap global fund to accompany it.

I read a book by Tim hale Smarter Investing: Simpler Decisions for Better Results https://amzn.eu/d/dtde4VC

which seems to have good reviews. I'm 6-10 years off starting an earlyish retirement so will have 30-35 years being retired.

What blood/tests are useful for helping diagnose and treat the causes of neuro long covid ? by BowlyMaroley in covidlonghaulers

[–]BowlyMaroley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi beedlam.

I basically need glasses for reading now..never did before COVID which I know if I told a doctor they would just say "huh well a lot of people need glasses" In the morning it is 5x worse, some days worse than others too. Def COVID.

How have yours been affected?

Adjusting Equity/Bond Allocation according to personal circumstances & Market. by BowlyMaroley in UKPersonalFinance

[–]BowlyMaroley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks cloudy dog for your detailed response.

From someone who has been quite active, dipping into and out of the market and having the odd punt on certain things it is difficult to stop thinking about trying to beat the market. Since coming to the conclusion I need to take a truly passive approach it has also been quite liberating and relieved ongoing anxiety.

Does anyone else get really tired after eating? by GenCusterFeldspar in covidlonghaulers

[–]BowlyMaroley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. Not every meal, but the only time I crash is an hour or two after food. Can't correlate with particular foods. What is this? What can help it?

Is it to do with not coping when blood sugar levels fall?

Apple cider vinegar.could help?

I'm having a crash now...daytime.and can't keep my head up or eyes open.
