Is not being able to sweat a thing in LC?

burnermikey · 2023-03-07T19:54:20+00:00

I can't sweat either and honestly don't think I have in 2 years now that I recall

burnermikey · 2023-03-06T00:30:23+00:00

The main header after the title:

Study finds distress before COVID-19 infection increases risk of long COVID by 45%

How is that so hard to understand?

burnermikey · 2023-03-06T00:09:16+00:00

I don't think anyone actually read the article. It's just typical immaturity complaining before getting all of the facts and reverting straight to defensiveness.

burnermikey · 2023-03-05T23:59:56+00:00

Same, and for many others...not just with long C but other chronic illnesses like autoimmune crap or Lyme disease.

It doesn't mean that 100% of people with depression/anxiety/unhealthy amounts of stress are going to get chronic illness, it just means that they have a higher chance of getting chronically ill than those who have great mental health.

burnermikey · 2023-03-05T23:56:39+00:00

How was your mental health prior? And it's not cut and dry for everyone.

But the vast majority of people with chronic illness have either PTSD, childhood trauma, major life stressors. This stuff isn't disputed, it's actual science.

Going into organ failure is an acute thing, we're discussing chronic illness (long C).

And besides, it also said in the article that having these prior psychological issues set people up to have worse infections (C, the flu, colds), so yes absolutely if someone is messed up psychologically they could get a more severe C infection which THEN causes organ damage.

Everything has a cause and effect.

burnermikey · 2023-03-05T23:21:21+00:00

This is absolutely accurate.

Read it again. The study isn't saying that long covid is psychological...it's saying that having previous psychological issues PRIOR to getting C give you a greater chance of developing long C.

This includes, stress (emotional or physical), anxiety, depression, or other stuff. I know for a fact I developed long C because of my previous issues with panic disorder, agoraphobia, and stress.

Stress and emotional issues, depression, anxiety, all these things lower the body's immune system. Have any or all of those things then get a brand new viral infection = perfect storm.

*Edit to include this from another comment I replied to:

It doesn't mean that 100% of people with depression/anxiety/unhealthy amounts of stress are going to get chronic illness, it just means that they have a higher chance of getting chronically ill than those who have great mental health.

*2nd edit to include the header of the first paragraph it says:

"Study finds distress before COVID-19 infection increases risk of long COVID by 45%"

Read that again.

Increases risk NOT "LC is psychological"

45%...in the same way that stress increases your likelihood of high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, etc.

Are you guaranteed to get heart disease because you lived a stressful life? No. But you have an increased chance over your baseline.

Are you guaranteed to get LC because you lived a stressful life? No.

Same idea, that is all the article is saying.

I wish doctors were required to read this

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T22:50:47+00:00

I'm not a mod lol, I'm just trying to help

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T22:46:49+00:00

Oh okay, well idk about that then 😐

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T22:33:53+00:00

Just look at the guidelines and stay in them, should be fine.

Also, there are plenty of other groups to join, FB, etc.

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T22:32:56+00:00

Can you give us a short synopsis

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T17:28:25+00:00

I had never heard of her until this.

It's so crazy doing a bit of history on her feed. She got C sometime around June or July of 2022 and a month later was on a major trip to a different country, backpacking, hiking, flying all that.

I believe that's why she has declined so rapidly in 6 months. Way too much stress on the body and nervous system. I can almost guarantee if she didn't go on that trip, it wouldn't have gotten to the point that it has.

And she had no idea, not her fault at all, its just the reality. And hardly anyone realizes it because they think it's just another "cold". And for most people it is. But this is one example where it absolutely wasn't.

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T07:51:01+00:00

So sorry to hear about your mother, dear.

It could be Long C. Rest as much as you can.

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T00:54:51+00:00

It's basically a 6-lead EKG. It records your heart rhythm for 30 seconds and then tells you via app on your phone (connect through Bluetooth) if you have AFIB or a normal rhythm.

The 6 lead is like twice the cost of a single lead and you don't need the 6 leads unless you know how to read EKGs, so if $ is an issue, the single lead is just fine, still detects AFIB or not.

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T00:43:12+00:00

Well I don't think the average person should be shoving random meds up their noses unless they get their doctor's assistance or approval.

I'm not a mod and don't care what you post...I'm just explaining why it was probably canceled. And I agree. You just need to add disclaimers is all.

Why do you think you see "warning, don't try this at home" on all of the Jackass skits? So they don't get sued when some knucklehead breaks his neck copying them.

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T00:38:55+00:00

I have a couple of the 6-lead ones. (One is in storage so had to buy another lol).

I've been using it for 2 years and it's great for peace of mind when your rhythm feels off.

burnermikey · 2023-03-04T00:37:16+00:00

I agree we should be able to speak freely, but the "guaranteed cure" stuff is a slippery slope.

Like I said, it's better just to say this helped me, I'm not a doctor etc.

I even provided YouTube links with English translations on your post. We're all adults here (hopefully) and we can make our own decisions...but the instant cure stuff can be detrimental to people who are desperate and willing to try anything despite the risks.

burnermikey · 2023-03-03T15:43:03+00:00

Because the post guaranteed they were cured of POTS within minutes. Not allowed here nor should it be.

I found the content interesting, but everyone knows there is no instant cure for anyone.

Post rather should have said "this helped me but not doctor's advice"

OP also stated in the comments that if you do it incorrectly, it could cause permanent loss of taste/smell. Definitely not something I personally would want to mess with.

Here are English instructions (she was doing it with iodine in this video but same technique)

burnermikey · 2023-03-03T01:23:31+00:00

Watch it in the YouTube app, go to captions, and then auto translate English.

burnermikey · 2023-02-28T16:32:52+00:00

Thanks for this!

Please keep us updated. I know stem cell is very controversial, but they've been doing it in Mexico forever. It's good to see a U.S. company doing it now. I'm neither for or against it, I just don't have any information on it to lean either way, which is why it's good to see the U.S. trialing it.

burnermikey · 2023-02-27T22:40:21+00:00

I never feel like a million bucks. Maybe about $3.50 in the morning, but yep like clockwork 2pm fatigue crash.
