It's a long shot, but my mild long covid symptoms practically disappeared since I've been taking MCT oil regularly. I was motivated to try it after reading this article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37415915/ .

Which oil do you use?

I only started taking mct oil a few weeks ago (but I felt the effects basically immediately). I've been using this product (I think it is a local hungarian brand) https://nordvital.hu/products/mct-olaj-500-ml , but I doubt that the effects are specific to this one.

What's your regimen look like?

I drink two cups of coffee a day (in the morning and after lunch), and I put a tablespoon of mct oil in each of them. In the first few days I had minor diarrhea, probably it makes sense to introduce it more incrementally to avoid that.

It's not that it sucks to have this brought up, it's that the people who do are pretty consistently dismissive and infantilising about it. Naturally, folks that this happens to develop an aversion to people that say the same thing for the millionth time. It's not novel, it's not interesting (in that it never leads anywhere novel either) and it's frequently hostile.

If anything I feel like it’s actually more interesting if it’s a psychiatric condition.

Does someone’s visceral sense of having control of their own life being detonated have an impact on their body? Probably? What if they have been conditioned to act like they are not bothered by this aspect of the situation, and therefore don’t process this feeling and it remains unresolved. That is like the definition of trauma.

Doesn’t the Bible specifically mention against this line of thinking?

Reading utopic rulebooks - the intent is of no value. What is of value, is the reproduceable outcome of the rule-book interacting with actual humans, not idealized or demonized concepts.

That's great to hear. I remember Simone Giertz breaking out the bad news to her followers and sounding no less serious than when she was talking about her own brain surgery. My former co-worker got COVID twice, as preventive measures didn't fit into his moral framework, and the second time resulted in a mild case of long COVID. I'm saying "mild" as he was not bedridden, but the cognitive decline was noticeable. Long…

I've had COVID four times. No noticeable effects but I was triple vaxed. Also in NZ we didn't get COVID until it had gotten pretty mild.

Yeah cause people actually follow the rules. I was back in NZ from December 19 to like end of January 2020 and sw covid becoming a thing, back thru Bangkok and everyone's masked up, then to the UK again where people hadn't even heard anything about it ha ha. That was the times of the eerily orange daytime sky because of the Aussie fires.

Lockdown here everyone and their Mum is screwing around at the park, UK does not really have an attitude of social good imo, outside of one's own family.

Or they die.

From long covid? And because they didn't go two years without standing ? You can't really believe this. Going outside would not kill her. Choosing to stay in bed for two years has done her far more damage. Staying in bed is worse for you than hard drugs.

Unless you got cold fever and you're literally too frozen to get outside, or you got your leg broken, there is absolutely no way you wouldn't get out at the very least once a day.

I believe it's a mix of depression and lack of will, being hungry and having nothing to eat is the best way to make someone get back on his feet. It happens everyday with the lower class, but people in the top of society don't feel that very often, or even at all.

I really get the sentiment that if you look at people who are told "it's all in your head" and then they find some obscure condition that is treatable, it might be considered borderline malpractice for the physician to have told them that... but does the frequency with which patients are told that maybe give some insight into how many psychosomatic patients there really are out there?

I mean, we had actual doctors doing the "In your head" song and dance before my wife was diagnosed with RA for a good 3-4 months. There was visible swelling/blistering and she couldn't walk unassisted. This is an anecdote of course, but, this was a very obvious condition, and we got "in your head"ed.

I was told I was “imagining” things, probably as a result of stress from overworking. And told if I relaxed, I’d find out I in fact had no problems.

lol, I had a spinal cord injury.

I laugh when I think about it, but there has been a lot of anger to get here.

I'm 22 years old and suffer from Long COVID for 3 years now. I've written a bout my experience on my blog: https://tunn3l.pro . although not bedridden, my life got totally flipped upside down. I just want to live a normal live again. To all ME/CFS and LC sufferers: Don't give up!

Hi, I couldn't glean from the articles. But it sounds like you have breathing issues from long covid? it may sound ridiculous, but I developed gluten/lactose sensitivity during covid times. If I avoid gluten, lactose, canola oil I get far fewer symptoms. I know this likely isn't your issue but I do experience positive airway pressure, coughing, burping, chronic fatigue, exessive yawning. If that sounds like you maybe…

It’s frustrating how often things get dismissed as "in your head" when the right tweak can make a huge difference.

> "its in your head" insane that it's still so common...

I had the same reaction. And it's so disappointing.

Long Covid (probably a form of ME/CFS triggered by Covid) is one of the worse diseases one can get. It invalidates you as a person physically and mentally and there are no solutions around. At the same time you are gaslighted by doctors and people because there is no clear diagnosis. My wife is already on her 3rd year and I just could witness first hand how shallow is the knowledge of most doctors, how they have zero…

Hopefully, the growing research into biomarkers and experimental treatments will lead to real change soon
