Thank you Gez for this series! It’s good to know that there are still people out there working on help for us! I feel like I’ve spent a ton of money this year proving what my symptoms aren’t.

I got a blast of truth at 9:38. I now can accept that while I see other folks with PASC getting better, that might not be in the cards for my husband, as he more than meets the criteria for ME/CFS. I want to thank Dr. Scheibenbogen for stating her observation about this. Of course, there's always hope for the future, but we were hanging our hat on hearing about others who had recovered after a year or two. It's grief-inducing, but grieving is much easier when one knows what one is grieving over.

I have had ME/CFS for the past 30 years (ICC criteria), POTS, Fibromyalgia (since early childhood), Hashimotos Disease, Chronic Lyme disease (since the early 1980's), and Long Covid (from my 1st episode of getting Covid in 2020. I am 68 years old and have not been able to find a doctor that has any knowledge of any of this where I live in Spring Hill, Florida USA. So, it's not just a matter of when will there be any meds to treat Long Covid, ME/CFS, POTS, PEM etc., I don't have access to any doctors who is willing to educate themselves and be willing to take me on as a patient. Medical care is so horrendous here and the for profit hospitals are absolutely horrid.....not caring about their patients, nor their employees who are miserable....only caring about the almighty dollar. So this is all apart of the ugly picture for everyone in my shoes. I have been housebound and recliner/bedbound for over 9 years. Each time that I go to a medical appointment now (especially to an ER and hospital admittance) I become permanently worse. I have no doctor to turn to for help. This isn't living. It's merely existing and is a living death. I am only holding on by my fingernails in the hope that I will get some compassion and help someday.

Thank you Gez for another informative podcast - I can highly recommend your book - its my long covid bible. I have to say, after 3yrs I personally have plateaued re all my long covid symptoms. I genuinely don't think i will ever improve on where I am and thats not being all doom n gloom its more a case of acceptance and forging a head with a new way of being in life.The more you fight this thing the more frustrated you'll become leading to stress causing unnecessary fatigue ... This is what happens to me - I have limited tolerance for stress so i just try and - Let it go 🎈

@@Richexperience1Same here also! 😔😭 I am so horribly stressed over my condition. In my instance it’s MCAS and so I have food sensitivities/intolerances. Back and forth between low dose Prednisone and inhalers to help with my debilitating breathing issues now. Wake multiple times during the night to a feeling of an Elephant on my chest and breathing thru a tiny straw. Wheezing, hard to even take in a breath, so I guess that would be labored breathing. These are my worst symptoms. My husband and I were hiking mountains last year even tho I had already been sick with LC for over a year. I don’t know how I did it, but I’m definitely worse now even a year after that and can’t hike, can’t even go for walks anymore! 😭I’ve been sick now for 2.5 years. My husband recovered fully from Covid, I didn’t. He got a fever, I never did. I think that’s important to note also. Because I also have Chronic Lyme and I guess the bacteria hinder you from getting fevers so as your body is not able to kill it off! 😑

Thank you again, Gez, Dr. Khan and Prof. Scheibenbogen. It would be nice to have an interview with Prof. Schieffer, University of Giessen/Marburg (Germany). He shows - in addition to Post-Covid - a lot of engagement to diagnose and treat Post-Vac sufferers. As cardiologist, he focusses RAAS. Very interesting.

Having been hit really hard by Long Covid since my spell in intensive care with Covid in March 2020, I asked my doctor a couple of weeks ago if there had been any developments in reserach to assist with my lack of proper lung function and significant loss of cognitive funtion, he simply said, "No, long covid isn't a sexy subject anymore and the medical world has moved on." That's nice then.

It's funny she mentioned an amino acid because amino acids are the only I found that helped my fatigue. When I forget to take them for a few days, the fatigue comes back, not quite as bad as it was when I first had it but it's still very debilitating. I use full spectrum amino acids.

Thanks Gez and Asad for this great interview series! I´m wondering if the increase in anti-b adrenergic receptors might be a compensatory effect of lower perfusion due to microclots. That would explain why symptoms return after a few months. Probably combining antibody immunoadsorption and triple anti-coagulant therapy would do the trick.

What's the article or paper in the german physician Journal, which is recommended to take to your doctor?

Ive had strong symptoms of bloodflow issue in hands and feet throughout with ‘covid-toe’ even in summer in hands and feet as well as me/cfs, OI, POTS, MCAS etc. Propanolol has helped. I just wonder whether propanolols influence on b2 adernergic receptors might have interrupted/interfered with the autoantibodies on these same receptors? I feel excited to maybe know the mechanism behind why this is helping rather than just being grateful it is.

GENETICS RESEARCH? Thank you so so much both Gez and Carmen! I'd be really interested to know more about how genes play into all of this.
