“‘We sometimes will see someone who’s had Covid one, two or three times without problems, and then on the fourth time, suddenly they’ve got long Covid, and that makes them ill for a long time.’ The fact there is no lasting immunity to covid should have redefined public health”

Update on my protocol. I spent approx. 2 weeks with a special ChatGPT prompt to create my individual Long Covid & ME/CFS treatment plan. It’s a massive plan with a 4 week introduction phase. After that first real benefits should be visible after 3 months and long lasting benefits…— Marco 🇩🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@Gmwetz) February 26, 2025

“Update on my protocol. I spent approx. 2 weeks with a special ChatGPT prompt to create my individual Long Covid & ME/CFS treatment plan. It’s a massive plan with a 4 week introduction phase. After that first real benefits should be visible after 3 months and long lasting benefits after around 12 months. Maybe it’s risky - but I am declining slowly anyway. So, I will give it a try. My last attempt - if this is not successful, so be it.

But as I said, I see already changes (10 days in) My Lunalae is coming back on my thumbs, my wound healing is faster, less cold hands and my skin / scalp is less itchy and better heart rate while standing.

But there are also things what I would call “side effects” like pain and additional exhaustion. But I will hang in there.

I don’t know what it will bring. But why should I wait ? For what ? When ? We are loosing our lives NOW.

I will update you regularly.”

I hate how much #LongCovid has messed up my brain, and particularly my short-term memory. This evening, I needed to go to the toilet. So, I dragged myself to the bathroom. Once I got there, I forgot why I was there. Since I was there, I went in and washed my hands. /1— Dan the LC Kiwi 🇳🇿 (@LongCovidKiwi) February 22, 2025

This evening, I needed to go to the toilet. So, I dragged myself to the bathroom. Once I got there, I forgot why I was there.

Since I was there, I went in and washed my hands…Then I stumbled back to the couch. 5 minutes later I find that I am now urgently needing the toilet. Dragged myself back to the bathroom.

Now I’m really confused. I remember that I’d just washed my hands, so I assume I had also gone to the toilet. I hadn’t. FFS.”

The majority assume LC only comes in the form of fatigue etc, which is demonstrably untrue. This is just one way in which the disease can present itself. This causes many to believe the number of LC cases to be far lower than reality & even believe they don’t have it themselves.— James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath (@JamesThrot) February 19, 2025
