While my health improves this Christmas, and I start to feel human after nearly three years of #longcovid hell (improved by high-dose curcumin, antihistamines, vaccines, doxycycline, and now #EWOT)...

Everyone has been in bloody hospital lately, or is still there. 😭

I'll remember this Christmas as the one where I was worrying about everyone else.

@rose Sorry, I didn't mean to ask you to present yourself in a way that made you uncomfortable. I am very interested in the #EWOT attempt though. I really hope it helps you!
Do you get the oxygen from the doctor or do you buy it on your own?

#EWOT is a very interesting feeling.

The only kind of exercise where I come out with more energy, less pain, and generally breathing better.

It's a bit mind-blowing to finally experience exercise the way other people without #EDS, #Reynauds and #POTS, nevermind #longcovid, have always described it. #oxygensupplementation is where it's at.

I tried #EWOT for #longcovid and #mecfs properly for the first time today.

It's very unglamorous but maybe I'll take pics another time. Basically, it's like this video, except I use a recumbent exercise bike (because I have #POTS):

I'm impressed by the first impression! I will keep folks posted, but I feel energised and less pain after.

I used equipment ordered from corpusair.nl (€700 +€24 P&P to DE) plus a refurbished oxygen concentrator from oxycare.eu (€235) .

RE: #Longcovid, O2 and clots (#teamclots)

Hypoxia is known to cause clots. Long covid patients usually have low perfusion/poor tissue oxygenation, leading to hypoxia, inflammation, and clots.

This is why O2 supplementation, #EWOT and #HBOT can help.

This interview with a doctor with #longcovid details how #EWOT - exercise with #oxygentherapy, an arguably superior alternative to #HBOT (cheaper, less dangerous, more effective in anyone able to exercise) prompts angiogenesis - the creation of new blood vessels.

She saw the similarities.

Oxygen therapy has been working for me. Combining exercise boosted effectiveness. My EWOT kit is in the post!
