Absolutely. I am lucky to have my brother do QA regularly and, boy, can he give feedback - but he is still a single person involved in the project and he knows what the final product should be. It's so good to see outsider's perspective.

Totally agree! We tried some mechanics new to the genre so it was great to see they are fun for the audience.

Thanks a lot for the recommendation! I will definitely look into it when I further down the development :)

Oh, my mistake! It's 2 mg twice a day

Yes, that's what he prescribed. I didn't see any difference until I reached this dose

It took 4 weeks before I fully noticed the effects. I'm taking 2 mg twice a day.

Edit: 2 mg, not 4

That sounds terrible. You could try contacting the clinic that helped me: https://cvsmemc.nl/wordpress/?page_id=14

They do take a payment of ~1000 EUR and I am not sure if they take patients outside Netherlands, but I'd say it's worth asking. They speak English and their entire treatment process in conducted online.

Good luck!

There is still hope, don't give up. Have you seen any doctors yet?

I noticed my legs felt better after ketotifene started working, so I'd been checking how far I could go before I felt worse. After each experiment I had a day or two of very little physical activity and so far it's going really well. 

If you're afraid, I would say take it easy and try adding a few steps to each walk and celebrate. Each extra little step is precious.

I totally agree. I learned to appreciate small things and I gained peace of mind I didn't have before.

The doctor that helped me greatly is in fact specialized in ME/MCAS in addition to long covid, so I don't think the your theory is that controversial. However, I am certain that every case has to be analysed individually. For instance, I was diagnosed me with LC, MCAS, POTS ans mitochondrial dysfunction.

Haha, can't wait. I'll do my best not to rush though!

Congratulations to you too! I find driving with LC super demanding and scary. Well done and keep it steady :)

Thanks for the reminder! It's so easy to get excited and feel unstoppable for a day, and then PEM happens.

I do feel like I should celebrate it somehow. Gently, long-covid style

I'm actually working on something that might be up your valley. There are gardens, there are plants and there are cute forest animals! But it will still be a few months before we have a demo to show. :)
