I have seen posts that show the evidence that the poster has no clue what they are talking about. Your post is in the 99.9999% level of ignorance/cluelessness. I should let you talk to the 30 somethings I see that have had their lives devastated. You can tell them that they are “just imagining things.” smh

I'm just starting to figure out the MCAS thing. I had a blood test number (Tryptase) that was higher than it should have been. I get severe system wide reactions to pollen, foods, and even topical things like shampoos. I get what they use to consider "panic attacks" but they weren't (episodes of low blood pressure with tachy and intense releases of adrenalin).

I already have an autoimmune disorder (celiac sprue) and have a disorder that has MCAS as a common comorbidity. I've noted through many years of observation that my symptoms wane during low allergy time periods and when I closely watch what I eat (no citrus, no gluten, no to a bunch of other random things).

I've been on a food allergy elimination diet the last few weeks and feel better than I have in many years. Heart rate is normal and stable (usually have tachy off and on). Blood pressure is good (no weird lows or highs as I usually have). Exercise tolerance better. and so on.

Notice long term fatigue and brain fog, are just attached to the Chinese virus without proof.

No proof in the slightest they are connected in any way.
Or, even WTF long term Chinese virus actually is.

Don’t really care.

I know Ivermectin works, it worked for me.

Not interested in anything else. Especially if Big Pharma is pushing it.

Naltrexone is off patent. There is a shot which is a 30 day slow release which big pharma is pushing as it is on patent. The pills are not being pushed in any way. No profit motive.

Naltrexone at higher doses is an opioid blocker (Also blocks endorphins, the bodies natural opioids). There are Finnish studies indicating it stops alcoholics from being alcoholics (Alcoholic rats quit drinking). Big pharma is pushing the 30 day shot dosing, but that supposedly doesnt work because it does not target the endorphin rush alcoholics get when drinking which purportedly leads to the addiction/cravings, rather it dulls those peoples lives and leaves them joyless.

Supposedly the pills can be taken targeted at the alcohol and alcoholics see about a 80% success rate vs the AA route which has 6% at a year. It is called “The Sinclair Method”. The gabapentin relaxing effects are not blocked, only the endorphin rush. Alcoholics start drinking like non-alcoholics who do not have the endorphin rush from a drink. Take it or leave it. No cravings after a while.

Another big pharma scum bag, life destroying thing. They pulled funding from pill targeted on alcohol intake studies because the pills were off patent and only funded studies on the extended release crap which leaves people joyless husks.

On Ivermectin... It works on Covid. Period. End of sentence.

I highly recommend an elimination diet. You can be amazed at how what you eat effects you. I did a pretty strict one which caused knee pain to completely disappear.

Finding a doctor who believes in mast cell activation syndrome is tough. I have one specialist in my area and of course not in my network

I seem to be having good luck with beef kidney pill which is suppose to help the Dao issue. I still can’t find it locally. Might have to order it online from a butcher. Saw on Dr recommend bison kidney.

Here’s a question: How many of the people who say they are suffering from so-called long COVID have been vaxxed...?

Also, how many have had antibody testing done to confirm whether or not they actually had the coof?

And does being vaxxed with a CoupFlu vaxx screw with your antibody test results? If so, for how long? And if so. is follow-up testing done to ensure an accurate result?

Inquiring minds want to know.

This may be why ldn works for me. I have some kind of genetic defect concerning dopamine. Can’t remember..maybe Comt gene

Btw..people should look at B12. If your B12 is 300 a Dr will say it is okay but Mayo indicates otherwise and recommends further testing

The Boost is high in Magnesium and has a good assortment of vitamins. It was 250 calories a bottle and with a couple of eqq whites and 1/4 avocado for breakfast got me back on my feet quicker than I expected. I also took C, B12, D3, Zinc and Spirulina for gut health.

Biggest thing though which helped me was a full prescription evaluation. I went to a new PCP because my old PCP was just prescribing and not really reviewing. He also worked from paper records. My new PCP had my entire medical history, which if you consider the best case where he isn’t violating HIPPAA I much prefer the EHR to paper.

He changed up several of my meds and then asked why I wasn’t dead. My old PCP had me on meds which had bad interactions when combined and no one, not even the pharmacist caught it.

One week later I was back to full-time.

And BTW Naltrexone has been in their long Covid protocol for a long time. They’re pretty on top of stuff.
