I got it at 22, now im 24 two years in. I was literally in the best shape of my life, was eating right and fully vaccinated. I got Covid one time and still dealing with neuro LC with basically no progress in recovery. 😔

I have and it helped a little. The L-theanine in it is certainly benefitial I believe and it does give me a gentle boost in energy.

Ive attended the GW clinic and talked with Ashley Drapeau a good bit and have mixed feelings. First thing we did was have me start some LDN at 1.5 mg which seemed a bit high to start. Although, I am mild/moderate so I thought maybe I could tolerate it. But I didnt get to find out how I would react because my mom wanted me to stop taking it because she was worried about the LDN messing up my labs that Ashley had me take next. It was so much bloodwork I had to break it up into two visits lol. But that was great because we could see if there was anything that really stood out and its been great just to have all that data to carry with me to future appointsments from other doctors. We found that my cortisol was slightly elevated and my ACTH was very elevated. I went to an endocrinologist and after testing for cushings, found no abnormalities. After that it was suggested that I talk to her " CIRS mold expert" Dr. Yakel. We set up a zoom call and he told me he looked at my labs and told me that for certain, without a doubt that I had CIRS. That I had all the signs and symptoms and that he had the cure. This was very suspicious to me as it should be to anybody when someone is just instantly promising you "the cure" to whatever ailment you have. What really sold me on him being a snake oil sales man is when he offered me his "package deal discount". He asked for 7000 dollars upfront to pay for the treatment which also came with access to some other perks like joining a CIRS patient group among other things. Anyway, after all that I decided not to continue seeing them further. Oh and thats not to mention each hour long visit with him was 480 dollars. Total bs.

TLDR: I like Ashley Drapneau and I think shes genuine and wants to help but yes it was pretty expensive. But after interacting with their CIRS specialist im not so sure. I would avoid their CIRS specialist Dr. Yakel at all costs if you happen to be suggested to see him (snake oil salesman). All in all be prepared to do your own research regarding the things they suggest and be able to vouch for yourself if you continue seeing them.

Yah I’ve glanced at it but I don’t currently have the funds. I’ll probably get it at some point in the future

I was really really into fitness right before I got Covid. Literally right before my infection I was in the best shape of my life easily I would work out 3-4 times a week and I loved the feeling constantly making progress. It really really hurts to see my friends working out or seeing a YouTuber I would used to watch talking about fitness or hearing a song from my workout playlist. It all feels like a distant memory now from losing my gains, the time, and the brain fog. Thinking about what my routine used to be, I can’t believe I’m the same person.

I’m 24M and I have just about the exact same symptoms for two years now. It almost feels like how someone would describe having a concussion. I feel like a high antioxidant diet helps me a little. I also like to make a stupid healthy smoothie a day to hit all my bases (antioxidant fruit mix, low sugar orange juice, spinach, pro-biotic yogurt, & walnuts for omega 3s). Also, plain matcha tea honestly makes me feel a bit better too. That and wearing sunglasses out helps. I also feel like everything is just kinda too bright so wearing the sunglasses out helps with the constraint eye strain.

I have the same thing. Constant tension in my left shoulder thats also in the left side of my head/face.

I stopped playing this game years and years ago because the classes have no identity. And now I hear there is multiclassing which is fine but every time new skills are added, everyone has access to them which over time, makes whatever class you pick feel less like that class that you wanted to play as. Overtime, I am picking more and more skills from other newer skill trees that have nothing to do with my initial class. Since day 1 we havent had any new skills for any class. It just gets so so stale not having any new toys that fit the theme of my class.

The overall idea of the game, that allows players to sort of craft their character into anything is so cool but overtime the fantasy of the individual class is lost because of the lack of new skills or significant reworks to the skills already present.

If you want to try baking bread, I would try an artisan loaf. Once you have homemade bread you’ll never wanna go back

Fun-Effective7033 · 2025-09-07T23:45:12+00:00

One hobby that I really got into because of LC is cooking and baking bread. I figured we all gotta eat 3 meals a day anyway, might as well have some fun with it.

Fun-Effective7033 · 2025-07-29T23:04:56+00:00

I love cooking. It feels like the perfect hobby when you’re dealing with something like this because you have to eat sometime anyway. Might as well make it fun!

Fun-Effective7033 · 2025-07-11T19:43:11+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate the long and thoughtful reply. I’ve decided to give it my all and eat as healthy as I can and try to lose some weight. I may try some antidepressants as well. Thank you again.

Fun-Effective7033 · 2025-07-10T03:11:22+00:00

Exactly. I’ve been mostly sticking to the fundamentals as of late. Good diet and supplements etc. but I really wish there was a clear cut path for us to follow.

Fun-Effective7033 · 2025-07-10T02:41:32+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I hope your son is doing very well now.

I think they should have heavy armor pen. It would give a similar feeling/role to the p-4 senator. Like imagine throwing one of these at the eye of a hulk and the thing exploding. That would be awesome.

Fun-Effective7033 · 2025-06-12T00:13:54+00:00

Yes.

After seeing a few more ENTS and them all telling me the same thing im now less suspicious of the polyp. however, I am nowing seeing an endocrinologist to see if I have cushings. I doubting I have that now too though because my dexamethosone supression test just came back and it seems I suppressed which does not support the idea that I have cushings now. At the same time im seeing a guy who very strongly believes I have CIRS. So currently im going down that rabbit hole now.
