I’ll keep updating as TT goes on
Waiting for labs to show further risk factors #TeamClots
Having these improvements that I honestly began to think were impossible just 2 weeks into TT has me thinking everyone with #MECFS #POTS #LongCovid should test for and treat microclots 10/
#TeamClots #mecfs #pots #LongCovid
This test should be widespread, every doctor off or on #MedTwitter should know about it
Not enough patients know about #TeamClots or have money for tests (I’ll have to do a fundraiser to afford treatment)
This is serious, it impacts so much; keep looking #MECFS #LongCovid #pwME

I’ve been on Xarelto after a PE for 1.5 years, but felt very inflamed for 2 years
I said “I think I have microclots” then “is my daily anticoagulant enough?”
I was right: I have microclots and Xarelto wasn’t enough
Don’t give up on answers

New publication of so-called #TeamClots with #ResiaPretorius on the pathophysiology of #LongCovid. The focus is on #Microclots.
But also other theories like #Autoimmunity and #ViralPersistence are mentioned.

5/ What we do patients actually want? To get better with safe treatments that not only halt progression BUT improve our baselines. Even if incremental. That’s part of what makes the pt work from @doctorasadkhan #TeamClots, and @ales_frost & @chydorina @remissionbiome so special.
"Even after three years since the emergence of #COVID19, much remains unknown about how it causes severe disease, including the widespread organ damage beyond just the lungs. Increasingly, scientists are learning that organ dysfunction results from damage to the blood vessels"

@CochraneD Videos of HCWs who are gleefully cheering on the removal of masking in health care settings are creepy & bleak as hell. Cuz not only will this harm patients, but it will harm them, too. No one wins.

Isn't it bad enough that people w/ #longcovid become disabled, lose identity, jobs, careers, and endure financial peril; we have to take on LC hate, gaslighting and mean people like Dr. Seuss aka @Vprasadmdmph. My digital short. #meantweets. #pwLC #teamclots #fblc #saunastalker

Update on #TripleTherapy for #LongCovid #PwLC #MECFS #PwME #TeamClots
Almost 23 months into LC. Main symptoms: fatigue, headaches, tinnitus, brain fog, especially after cognitive activity. Just started week 7 of aspirin, apixaban, clopidogrel + also taking atorvastatin.

Some small improvements:
* clearer thinking, focus
* on some days, increased SpO2 from generally 95 to 97-99
* haven’t woken up with extremely numb hands during the night

I have found that #LongCovid #Tinnitus could possibly be related to #microclots. This study shows clotting causes tinnitus and treatment with anticoagulant Lovenox improved it by 50%. #TeamClots https://www.tinnitusformula.com/library/sodium-enoxaparin-for-the-treatment-of-tinnitus/

Here's my @givewithkernls research update about our lab's exciting news! The flow cytometer arrived, training is complete and we're already analyzing samples for microclot concentrations. Thanks to everyone who supported @polybioRF to make this happen! http://go.kernls.com/405RTVU

Here's the non-paywall version of the Nat Geo article about #longcovid microclots. It is great to see this going mainstream. Nattokinase is the over-the-counter treatment available now.
