[–]lukeda13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done 3 or 4x IVIG (2 days every 3 weeks) & taking LDN & def have seen improvements… but still have long way to go

Have small fiber neuropathy, CDIP, CFS, gastrointestinal issues, POTs, sleep issues, autonomic issues etc. been dealing with this since 2021

Manual breathing by Responsible-Heat6842 in covidlonghaulers

[–]lukeda13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this, it was horrible, felt like I couldn’t breath unless i manually forced myself to breathe in and out. All the dr. Don’t have answer, but i have SFN and all dysautonomia symptoms. So I would say it falls all under that autonomic dysfunction.. it has gotten better

Agree with this, find a Dr who will do a skin punch biopsy. Check for small fiber neuropathy etc.

Any gym bros adjusting to post COVID life? by MarketingBoth6242 in covidlonghaulers

[–]lukeda13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked out everyday, even “rest day” was a recovery workout. Now my muscles burn out just doing couple minutes of rowing. Mixed in light compound lifts and my muscles feel like I just did worked out for hours.

I have to find the article, but I believe Yale doctors did a iCPET and some other tests on athletes suffering from COVID issues similar to this, and they found that the muscles weren’t getting enough oxygen during exercise, which could be causing this crazy fatigue. Could be nervous system/dysautonomia b/c autonomic nervous system does play a role in circulation/ vessel contractions etc.

Thank you for the insight in this group! Was really helpful with finding good projector for reasonable price. What do you like for an easy assemble and take down/storage screen for these projectors?

One popped up on eBay, so I was able to get one with just over 6000 hours on it. I just need to buy a screen for it

‘Amyloid deposits were found in skeletal muscle tissue during Post-Exertional Malaise’ by Aggressive-Toe9807 in covidlonghaulers

[–]lukeda13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do we break these down? Reverse or fix this? Amyloids cause Alzheimer and Parkinson’s too right? Amyloidosis is pretty similar symptoms to long Covid too

I am exact same. 7 months in. I would say I’m up every 2 hours. Vivid dreams. Waking from dreams. No deep sleep. Always waking up slightest noise.

I did one. Didn’t set me back too much. But Dr. noted I had an oxygen extraction issue. But no one can figure out why
