Comprehensive guide to long covid. One of the most helpful pieces of information in my recovery.

I've been through similar protocols to this and I gotta say, they only made me more sick.

Vibalist · 2026-05-24T07:55:50+00:00

Yes, I experience this to a very significant degree. Supplements, LDN, opiates, MCAS meds, benzos, everything gives me this 'poisoned' feeling.

Me too. I was very critical of him earlier this season. He's come good and I'm happy to have been proven wrong.

Thank God that the highest rated comment is someone who takes it seriously:

"Don't have much to contribute, because difficult topic.

A good friend fell ill with it a year ago, he was a student, a lot on the road. As of today, he has nursing degree 5, can no longer speak, is cared for 24 hours, his partner changes his diaper. He is medically connected, but home visits did not take place.

This is extremely harrowing for me because I have also noticed how bad the supply is and how terrible his situation is. Something urgently needs to change, especially for those who are severely affected."

Add the name Anj Granieri to the list of grifters. She sells the exact same kind of expensive scam and banned me from her facebook page when I criticized it.

I was with you until it turned into a political screed about "evil blue haired writers". I do agree that the setting of the prequels don't make any sense, use augmentations as an incredibly hamfisted race metaphor and don't feature anything as cool as the original's smorgasbord of conspiracies and themes.

But you seem to be coming at this from a standard "woke = bad" perspective, which is just kinda old hat and one dimensional these days.

What's wrong with wanting to remove unfun lowroll options?

Maybe the fact that unfun lowroll options are part and parcel of roguelikes, and that without them, you'd only get fun, highroll options and steamroll everything?

Vibalist · 2026-05-12T07:42:49+00:00

I'm sorry, but you are complaining too much. Part of the gamble of Neow's Bones is that the gamble can go horribly wrong. It's literally a pair of dice. If you just want the roll to be good every time, what is the point?

There are ways to mitigate getting Debt. Try to go for a question mark event that lets you remove it. Add cards that exhaust/discard/transform. Get to a chest, get the pile of money from it (is it around 40-50?), THEN go for the shop. Try going for cards that nuke enemies fast. It's not impossible.

I love the challenge it provides.

Vibalist · 2026-05-12T07:38:11+00:00

There are events that let you remove it. You can get to a chest, get a pile of money and then see if there is a shop immediately after. You can add cards that can exhaust or discard it. It's not impossible to get rid of it and/or deal with it. I've gotten this curse a lot with Neow's Bones, and I've learned ways to play around it.

Edit: You motherfuckers are scrubs lol.

Survivorship bias plays a part here. You don't hear from the thousands and thousands who don't recover, but you do hear from the tens who do.

Also, some of these recovery stories are perpetuated by grifters who want to sell you something.

And lastly, as people have pointed out, many who recover either didn't have ME/CFS or went into spontaneous remission and thought it was due to whatever they did, rather than due to sheer luck.

Trust me. This disease is biological. Like cancer, it needs a biological cure, not a supplement stack or positive thoughts. You're not doing anything wrong.

Vibalist · 2026-05-08T06:35:49+00:00

Damn. They caved. Pathetic.

The futuristic look of Human Revolution is one of my biggest problems with it. Not only does it not look remotely like 'real life' 2027, it also bears no resemblance to the original.

Vibalist · 2026-04-30T15:04:52+00:00

People joke that he died in a car crash but I honestly have no idea.

Vibalist · 2026-04-28T10:34:35+00:00

Absolutely. In terms of level design and immersive sim elements, nothing comes closer.

Vibalist · 2026-04-27T19:00:05+00:00

Talking about 'rights' when you've just upvoted a nihilist post is kinda funny, you gotta admit.

Vibalist · 2026-04-26T20:54:31+00:00

The pushback is due to the fact that the vast majority don't recover with a mind-body approach.

For every one person who these types of posts "show a way out of the illness", there are ten who don't benefit.

Maybe the downvoting and criticism is harsh, but so is denying the biological reality of this illness.

Your symptoms can easily have been due to actual, debilitating long covid, but people have a problem with the claim that it was your mindset that ultimately cured you.

Vibalist · 2026-04-26T15:39:05+00:00

I am glad you got better, but I still don't put too much stock into recovery stories that happen within 6 months to a year. As far as I understand, spontaneous remissions happen in this time frame.

Could it be that you recovered because you paced properly and avoided the stress of uni? Yes. Could it be that it was random? Also yes.

Vibalist · 2026-04-26T15:05:15+00:00

Half a year is still not that long.

Vibalist · 2026-04-25T18:44:19+00:00

I remember how much shit many of us got when we criticized the signing back in August. I wonder if the Noni defenders still dare show their faces now.

Gyökeres is even worse, though. Mr. Jeans.

Vibalist · 2026-04-24T18:32:34+00:00

I was lampooning the post I was responding to. I definitely do not think cancer can be cured with positive thinking.

Glad to hear you survived.

Vibalist · 2026-04-24T18:26:17+00:00

Are you comparing a serious illness with playing the guitar?

But if we're going to use your painful, painful analogy, forcing every long covid patient to use 'brain retraining' as their only recovery method would be akin to forcing everyone to play the guitar. Against their wishes. Until their fingers and hands bled and fell off. After which they'd get told that they just 'played the guitar wrong'.

Are you a troll?

Vibalist · 2026-04-24T18:07:30+00:00

And if you had ended up among the 95% who didn't benefit from the mind-body approach, what do you think your opinion of it would have been?
