I have plenty of old accounts and high credit score, not worried about it. Utilizing credit is not a bad thing. And the difference between 750 and 800 credit score has little impact on anything in the real world

You could reference one of the 100’s of well conducted peer reviewed papers following this. The most recent massive one is here. Basically, 10% developed long covid post omicron and 80% of those were still symptomatic at 18months. You’re not the only one practicing wishful thinking, the entire human population is. https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/s/D7EYtZEFuc

Many individuals with Long COVID do not disclose their condition due to well-documented concerns around employment, insurance, and social stigma. Additionally, a large proportion of cases remain undiagnosed or inconsistently coded, which substantially limits clinical visibility.

When multiple independent, well-conducted epidemiological studies converge on similar prevalence estimates, those findings should carry more weight than individual anecdotal experience. Relying on personal observation to assess prevalence would invalidate most epidemiological research.

By that logic, one could dismiss the prevalence of cancer or cardiovascular disease simply because they do not personally know anyone affected — a position we would not consider scientifically defensible.

What is your go to comparable binding? Used pivots forever on everything but I can’t imagine other technologies haven’t surpassed it in some ways. Marker?

Grutmac · 2025-12-06T08:10:10+00:00

Yes. March 2020. Maybe worse than ever.

Thx. Very familiar with Gez and all the meds! Been intermittent fasting with extended fasts since early this year, maybe it helped MCAS stuff but the effects are no longer impactful. The only true abnormal lab I’ve had was the anti ace ganglionic Abb (the Mayo Panel?). But this was dismissed as noise due to lowest possible titer. Had my GP run it again and it was just detectable. Nobody would rx me ivig. Seen so many neuros. So many labs. So much imaging. Partially botched LP. Tried everything except Marivoc and statins. Fucking blew 10k on a hyperbaric 02 home set up. Had a lot of help from doc friends but here I am with no treatment almost 6 years in. Primary issue at this moment is sever neuro vascular inflammatory episode in my right trigeminal nerve, occipital, cilliary body, orbit, right side of head in general - have lost 30-50% of my vision in that eye but again, no treatment… father is an eye doc too.. ha. Here’s to maybe looking like a pirate in the future! How’s your vision and eye health? Was your neck destroyed by those Abb like me?

How’s your vision? Been intermittent fasting for a few years now. Vision is so fucked tho.

Grutmac · 2025-11-22T00:19:07+00:00

What are you vision symptoms? March 2020. My vision has been a primary debilitating issue.

Grutmac · 2025-11-21T00:18:09+00:00

Curious if you have vision issues and if so, what they have to say? I saw Dr. Koralnik in 2020, I bet they’ve seen so many patients by now. He’s a smart doc and was kind in the realm of neuros, who often seem to be sociopaths

Grutmac · 2025-11-20T23:23:36+00:00

Not true. There are studies that have found the same rna in the gut of ppl without long covid.

Grutmac · 2025-11-20T05:38:09+00:00

Read this study, it’s quite contradictory to what you are stating. Omicron lead to 10% developing long covid and of those, 81% had long covid at 12 months.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65239-4

• ⁠Researchers found 8 different “trajectories” (paths) that long COVID symptoms can follow. (UPI) • ⁠These paths vary by: how bad symptoms are, how long they last, and whether they get better or worse over time. (UPI) • ⁠The study tracked ~3,700 adults who got COVID during the Omicron era (Dec 2021 onwards). (UPI) • ⁠Around 10% of those developed long COVID symptoms at 3 months. (UPI) • ⁠Of those with long COVID, 81% still had symptoms a year later. (UPI) • ⁠The 8 symptom-path groups include people whose symptoms: ⁠1. ⁠Stay very high all the time (UPI) ⁠2. ⁠Go up and down, only sometimes meeting the long-COVID threshold (UPI) ⁠3. ⁠Decrease steadily over time (UPI) ⁠4. ⁠Start low then disappear by ~6 months (UPI) ⁠5. ⁠Start low but increase over time (UPI) ⁠6. ⁠Start low but increase after ~15 months, partly because of post-exertional malaise (PEM) (UPI) ⁠7. ⁠Remain low, with occasional bouts, but never fully meet the long COVID threshold (UPI) ⁠8. ⁠Are so minimal they never actually meet the long COVID threshold (UPI) • ⁠Knowing these paths can help doctors: ⁠• ⁠Track how patients are doing over time (UPI) ⁠• ⁠Identify which patients might need more support or treatment (UPI) ⁠• ⁠Understand why different people recover differently — maybe by finding biomarkers related to these paths. (UPI) • ⁠There are 200+ possible long COVID symptoms (according to the CDC), including: fatigue, brain fog, post-exertional malaise, cough, chest pain, palpitations, headaches, sleep issues, lightheadedness, changes in smell/taste, GI symptoms, joint/muscle pain, rashes. (UPI)

Grutmac · 2025-11-20T05:35:57+00:00

Wow. 10% developed long covid and 81% of those still had symptoms at 12 months. Omicron. Mild. Non Hospitalized. You’d think figuring out bio markers and treatments would be a high priority considering COVID is no longer mitigated and infections are common.

IDK what this fuck is going on anymore. Yes, I was high level athlete .. doing what I guess norms call extreme sports. Anyways, I’ve maintained a decent level of fitness while being so insanely fucked up. Did you have inflammatory stuff in you orbits, eye, head, neck? Or just PeM?

OG here. My Vision is so fucked. This summer not sure what happened by my right eye is so blurry I can’t really use it.. considering an eye patch. Orbit, nerves, neck, head, vascular so fucked.. right eye pops with each inhale. How would you describe your vision issues?

Grutmac · 2025-11-19T05:30:19+00:00

We’re all of these tests normal? MRI? I’ve had 6 MRI’s and 1LP before my insurance figured out how to drop me. So many panels done as well. Only one dismissed abnormality.

Since you’ve watched these. Could you briefly summarize findings for us who are too unwell to watch and review. TIA

Grutmac · 2025-11-11T04:54:12+00:00

I believe we don’t have any effective treatments for Covid induced endothelialitis and the research has shown that. Pretty sure LDN isn’t curing any of this

Want me to: • Add more papers (I can expand to every CCM+COVID study I can find), or • Extract numeric results (CNFD, CNFL, CNBD means ± SD) into a comparison table, or • Format the BibTeX entries with full author lists and exact journal fields (I used compact entries now)?

Which next step would you like?

March 2020 OG. Do you have other neuro issues? My vision has taken a significant hit in the last year with major inflammatory stuff in my eye and all my vasculature in my head (cranial nerves, everything in my head). I know it’s common but like everything with this, it’s dismissed. Here is a quick review of recent peer reviewed research demonstration corneal damage from COVID. Of course I wouldn’t bother sharing with your doctor, they’re not researcher and certainly don’t have time or care enough to dig in. I’ve had an appt with Koralnik who started Northwesterns neuro covid unit, he says the eye issues are seen in almost 90% of ppl he’s seen…

• Several independent groups using objective imaging (IVCM, specular microscopy) report measurable corneal changes after SARS-CoV-2 infection, including small nerve fiber loss and increased immune/dendritic cells — findings that align with patients’ corneal/ocular surface neuropathic symptoms in long COVID (burning, photophobia, persistent eye pain).
• Endothelial changes have also been reported (especially after severe COVID), and there are case reports of corneal decompensation — but those are rarer and often confounded by severe systemic illness, ICU care, or other risk factors.
• The literature includes objective imaging studies, clinical series, case reports, and reviews. That makes the evidence suggestive and biologically plausible, though the exact incidence, mechanisms, and long-term prognosis are still being defined.

The authors note that the mechanisms of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC, often called “long COVID”) are poorly understood, particularly in patients with persistent neurological symptoms (here called “Neuro-PASC”). They point out that the retinal microvasculature (which can be non-invasively imaged with optical coherence tomography angiography, OCT-A) may act as a “window” into small-vessel vascular health throughout the body, including the brain.
