The house side was not super aware of long-COVID but senate side said they have discussions about it frequently but “don’t know what to do about it.” They seem to have different priorities but I really tried to show how this is serious(post-infection &post-vaccine) with examples.

My severe crash in 2022 was a result of daily PT & taking a two day 18-hour medical board exam. A week later after that exam & increased activity in PT, I became bed-bound!🥺❤️🩹
For this article, I talked with a LOT of patients who had both POTS and ME/CFS, who exercised themselves into major flares at the advice of their doctors. This even included a physician with POTS and ME/CFS.

Correct. My medical school briefly went over connective tissues disorders like EDS but not in depth. My med school was one of the rare ones that also gave us a ME/CFS clinical encounter at the end of 2nd year but never touched beyond that like on the diagnostic features etc…

Based on my experience, majority of doctors so easily psychologize our suffering. In 2020,over 15 doctors made me think it was in my head & I sadly started to believe them to the point I saw two psychiatrists who told me this is not psych but a real medical issue that needs help

No, it has not cured it but my hearing aids do have sound therapy which has helped dampen the loudness of the tinnitus. Some days the tinnitus is still loud despite wearing them but those days are a few times a week instead of daily. So overall, it has helped.

That theory is possible. This illness can hijack the mitochondria & disrupt energy metabolism by causing reactive oxygen species stress on cellular processes & therefore disturb RBCs function to carry O2. Also,S1 spike protein can bind to the RBC membrane & cause function issue.
