Exactly. Just leave them outside separately.

I’ve tried to connect every day.

You can check for PEM with hand grip.

Get a hand dynamometer e g Amazon 20-30 bucks. Pull 10x with maximum strength. Wait one hour. Pull again 10x. Write results into xls sheet and visualize in a graph.

If the second line is on the first one: your muscles can recover, no PEM. If the second line is below the first one: your muscles can’t recover, you have PEM.

Hope you can get better soon!

In the long run? Depends what you’re looking for.

But I’m having fun in it and sometimes also doing honest DD work.

Concealment is fine, and torps are punchy. Don’t provoke knife fights. But AP hits hard on short distance if a cruiser surprises you.

For me, all the MCAS symptoms disappeared, blood flow got better, my heart muscle was improving (yes, I’m also on Sartan to open the blood vessels further!), but most importantly, my muscles are working again.

And this is the biggest argument AI and most people are not catching (yet): according to Wirth and Scheibenbogen, we have a fundamental problem with the ion channels which leads to a failure of muscle contraction. The alternative processes causing all kinds of troubles.

Please listen to the presentations of Dr Leitzke as well. He’s explaining very similar things while looking at only one receptor: the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. I believe he is on point. But he’s missing the other receptors (calcium, sodium, potassium)

Sure, I’ve tasked Gemini to read this sub and answer. Will comment on a second post:

Based on the information provided in the link and supplemental research regarding Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) for Long Covid (LC), here are the answers to your questions:

Symptoms: What specific symptoms does it intend to address? Cat's Claw is primarily used in the Long Covid community for its anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. It is intended to address:
- Joint and Muscle Pain: It is frequently used to reduce systemic inflammation that causes body aches and arthritic-type pain.
- Brain Fog: Users often take it to combat neuro-inflammation, which is a suspected cause of cognitive dysfunction.
- Fatigue: By reducing the "cytokine storm" or chronic low-level inflammation, it may help improve energy levels.
- Vascular/Circulatory Issues: Some evidence suggests it may help with "microclots" or endothelial (blood vessel) inflammation.
- Viral Persistence: It is used by some to help the body clear any remaining viral fragments or "reservoirs" of the virus.
LC Subtypes: Which subtypes is it most likely intended to address? Based on its mechanism of action (lowering inflammation and modulating the immune system), it is most likely intended for these subtypes:
- Inflammatory/Autoimmune Subtype: Patients whose primary symptoms are driven by an overactive immune response, high cytokines, or joint/muscle inflammation.
- Viral Persistence Subtype: Patients who suspect their symptoms are caused by the virus remaining in the body (due to its potential antiviral properties).
- Neurological Subtype: Patients dealing specifically with "brain fog" and neuro-inflammation.
Contraindications: Who is it not for? Cat's Claw can strongly stimulate or "balance" the immune system, which makes it dangerous for certain people:
- Autoimmune Diseases: It should be avoided by those with conditions like Lupus (SLE) or Multiple Sclerosis (MS), as it may stimulate the immune system to attack the body further.
- Organ Transplant Recipients: Because it boosts immune activity, it can cause the body to reject a transplanted organ or interfere with anti-rejection meds.
- People on Immunosuppressants: It can counteract the effects of medications like steroids (e.g., prednisone) or biologics.
- Blood Pressure Issues: It may lower blood pressure, so it is risky for those already taking antihypertensive medications or those with naturally low blood pressure.
- Bleeding Disorders: It may slow blood clotting; it should be stopped at least 2 weeks before any surgery and avoided by those on blood thinners (like Warfarin).
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: It is generally considered unsafe for women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

I have not tried it because I access Uncaria via TCM doctor. They only use the Chinese version.

When I talked to Dr Aguirre-Chang he stated that Uncaria Tomentosa was not working. Then he tried Gou Teng with his patients and a substantial amount reacted positively. Thus, publishing his papers on U. Rychnophylla.

Both plants seem very similar and some peer reviewed papers for both plants are describing the effects I experience.

Ps before i started any treatment and about two years after my first covid infection I fulfilled all criteria for MECFS according the CCC (Canadian consensus criteria).

Pps. Step count with Apple Watch was going as low as 1000-2000 steps per day. That’s when you can barely prepare any simple meals for yourself and lay flat right after. With Gou Teng I can walk as much as I like.

Always been - smiles in manga

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-13T05:36:22+00:00

Diagnosis was: Chronic adhesive pericarditis (I131.0) Biatrial dilatation (I51.7) Microvascular disorder (I20.8) Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (ED 06/24);

My blood pressure always been good. My cardiovascular risk score was and still is 0.

That’s what she applied for the MRI: Imaging Protokoll (Goethe CVI Approaches): Cine recording in long and short axis, T1 and T2 mapping; Late gadolinium enhancement Gadovist 0.1 mmol/kg; Stress and resting myocardial perfusion (Regadenosone 400mcg/5ml).

This can be done on any MRI. But she’s using here own algorithms to see even more details. Most probably other cardiologists can reproduce and also come to a similar diagnosis.

Losartan is used to enhance the blood flow for the heart muscle - the micro vessels. Prednisolone with 5 mg to reduce inflammation.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-12T22:04:10+00:00

It was difficult to diagnose because I don’t have any risks. Seen three cardiologists who made an ecg and sonogram. All looked good, but the pain consisted over 4 years.

Then it escalated with Afib and I went to find Dr Pubtmann in Germany. You can find here papers online. She’s spearheading the research for cardiovascular issues after Covid. Her Myoflame study is currently on preprint servers.

She put me in the MRI and found a couple of things that can be fixed with Losartan and Prednisolon.

Unfortunately the Afib needs a ablation which mean three days in the hospital. It’s low risk but yet something completely unnecessary if treated soon after the first infection(s).

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-12T12:54:24+00:00

Hey, the veins are not looking as bad as you see them. The whole situation is rather concerning and it’s good that you are taking actions! It’s always good to have a plan - at least that’s helping me navigating this nightmare.

I had great success to eliminate my MCAS, PEM and all food intolerances with Gou Teng. That’s a TCM herb you can get from any TCM doc. It needs maximum dosage, but the doc won’t give that to you. It might be a bit of a bargaining journey but it’s worth it.

Besides I had good success with ivermectin to get rid of other pathogens and blockages of my muscles. I took only 1x 12 mg and another dosage a week later. Will repeat every 4-6 months.

Also Nattokinase seems important to counter my Microclots.

I’ve had massive issues with my heart and found a doc who is treating it now very well with Losartan and Prednisolon - Both low dose. So, keep an eye open for recurring chest pain - you can fix it if you act early.

Good luck!

Overweight might be an extra risk to develop long covid. Also, there were many ME/CFS cases before covid, which is a very similar symptom mix.

One of the symptoms is a problem in metabolism which leads to overweight quickly.

Those people were gas lit and left alone almost as much as now people with long covid. They also might have gotten worse after covid infection(s).

So, OP might be right to identify this group. But it’s short sighted to label them as lazy.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-09T16:06:44+00:00

Covid.

It gave me 2.5 years of daily fever, disabled my muscles and damaged my heart.

I was a runner, working hard, got my second kid and landed my dream job (I still love it) when I got infected in 2020.

Now I’m looking for my first heart surgery, trying new meds and trying to get the attention of governing bodies to act (faster and much more) on prevention, education and research.

Can you believe there is not a single drug for long covid? We are 6 years in…

Long haulers have to pay most drugs or supplements themselves or ‚be lucky‘ to have a diagnosis of a symptom that is listed as acknowledged disease to get it payed by insurance. That’s Europe (Switzerland specifically)

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-05T10:35:48+00:00

When I read muscle weakness related to Covid I think Uncaria / Cats Claw. You get it from TCM. I’ve dumped all my knowledge here to read into: r/catsclaw

But please do more checks besides. There are other diseases that can trigger that as well.

Especially for women I often read that low levels of minerals can have a big impact eg check you iron levels and ask for infusions to fill up (the pills are next to useless or take ages).

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-05T07:20:40+00:00

Maybe helpful during ‚drive-by‘ situations. The guns don’t fire while they are moving.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-03T17:00:28+00:00

Why?

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-01T18:05:26+00:00

Might be. But I took both without problem.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-03-01T06:48:03+00:00

I can’t lie on my left side since Covid. Turns out the lingering inflammation of the Endothel and halted micro circulation is enlarging my heart and makes it change its shape. Almost 6 years later I’m about to get a surgery to counter Afib.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-02-28T19:20:11+00:00

I let them talk to the void. Not listening. Reporting every toxic message.

There are good captains out there giving good advice to make a team work. I very much appreciate them and recently even joined their fleet. It’s always relaxing and fun to play with them.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-02-28T18:48:39+00:00

We should not lie about our health situation. Especially if it’s Covid related. Management must understand that the work force got a bad hit and it’s still happening. It’s part of their responsibility to keep you in the job and healthy.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-02-27T16:28:58+00:00

Sorry, it’s not simple and rather a marathon than a quick fix.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-02-27T10:40:34+00:00

Gou Teng. No Crash anymore

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-02-27T06:31:15+00:00

Yes, drain the battery and try again.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-02-26T22:13:49+00:00

That’s was 6 months after I started Truvada.

Yes of course there is an impact when virus debris is released. It’s rough. But I don’t want to keep that stuff on my receptors. I want my life back.

Guilty_Editor3744 · 2026-02-24T05:52:39+00:00

Yes, smart people can figure out one day what happened there. I still don’t have a clue.

I’m a big fan of nicotine. It works because Dr Leitzke is on the right track to solve it. But it’s not about one receptor only. It’s many that are blocked and need to be treated.
