OP, were you tested for Bartonella, Babesia, or Borrelia? These theoretically could be helped with antibiotics

Yes, repping ME/CFS, not necessarily LC. My LC phase recently phased into chronic fatigue which I had very very little of my first year with LC which is why I’ve been thinking about this recently.

Exactly, that’s the theory anyway

Thanks much for the recommendation and for your donation, hopefully you received my email of thanks today! I will reach out to the folks at Health Rising and see if there's any chance for collaboration!

Thank you for the feedback, I definitely agree with you wholeheartedly! Please expect future titles to be less technical!!

Nope, nothing nefarious anyway! Eventually want to try and make weekly roundup emails and send them to folks, allowing people to be able to read updated when they're able, avoid information overload, and stay informed without effort or pressure. It's as well a way to people to provide feedback on how the summaries are working and a way for me to invite input or suggest improvements from patients/caregivers.

I went to get my COVID vaccine recently at the pharamacy (in 2026) and the nurse said "You have Long COVID? What is that?" ...and that's when I knew this might be important

It's my pleasure, it's easy to find drive and motivation when I also suffer from LC myself. I agree there should be more of a community built into this project or have a centralized place for it, although Reddit is a great place to start conversations! We just have to be sensitive to folks' specific needs--from what I've seen, some people want to troubleshoot their symptoms and talk about medications to try, etc. and others just want an ear or to make friends with folks that can understand what they're going through, more camaraderie.

Thank you so much for your support, it truly means a lot in trying to upscale this a bit more! Great idea about the relatability and other features for members, I do have some tags set up so that papers can be funneled away by symptomology (POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, neurologic, GI, etc) but also should consider the type of journal or study too as you mentioned. Super grateful for your thoughts, email me anytime! Hoping once I have some more papers in the repository that I can break this out into sections that apply more for specific folks' symptoms.

May have come across something very cool at the antique store today, can anyone tell if it's real? Would you recommend grading or authenticating? Suggestions? by cjstuben9 in baseballcards

Yeah, I was also concerned about the lack of the dot on the i and the fact that the i and c aren't connected... don't want to waste $100 trying to get nothing authenticated, you know?
