I think I’m going to start taking aspirin. Oddly enough I took that a few times because I didn’t have ibuprofen and I do feel like it helped a lot with the weird long symptoms I am experiencing. I’m triple vaccinated before anyone asks. I haven’t tested positive for Covid on rapid tests but a lot of people seem to be in the boat I’m in right now.

The clotting in covid is fibrin based not platelet. If aspirin did anything for covid you'd be seeing it on the news every single day for the past two years.

Budedenide was shown to help significantly if given early. So does fluvoxamine. And sufficient vitamin D3 level seems to work well as a prophylactic.

And yet there’s hardly any mention of them, let alone “everyday”.

There is some clinical evidence to support curcumin as a prophylactic or treatment for COVID-19. The evidence so far is weak, but it's cheap and has no real side effects at normal dosage so from a risk versus reward standpoint it may be worth a look. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphar.2021.6693...

Fair enough, but outside of the ivermectin misinformation, it feels a lot like busywork, giving people agency and a feeling of having done something when they haven't.

Where is the busywork? Other than ivermectin, the other recommended interventions also have at least some clinical evidence and no major negative side effects for those that choose to use them. Have you actually analyzed each of them within a risk versus reward framework?

I'm hopeful that research into whatever "long covid" syndrome is/isn't leads to excellent new medical knowledge that applies to much more than just COVID edge-cases. I suddenly got similar symptoms since getting a nasty version of strep throat last October. Notably I had an elevated fever (>102F) for quite a few days straight. I've never had COVID but I did get the mRNA vaccines + booster. Since that fever, my heart…

I have a recommendation for you: You need to exercise. You are in your mid-thirties now. It's a big problem if you don't. But you have bad air quality where you live. I've dealt with this myself in the past. A relatively inexpensive solution that I recommend for anyone in areas with poor air quality is to build your own filter fans. Get a standard box fan, get a furnace filter that has HEPA ratings, duct tape the fur…

"Ethylene oxide/mercaptans/styrenes/acrylates" are chemical pollutants and thus won't be taken care of by particulate filters. You need something like an activated carbon filter for that.

Because I had been wearing those same shoes for years with the exact same level of tightness and never in my life had swollen feet problem before. The bruising was also following the lines of the shoes which is how it was discovered it was related to the shoe tightness

None of that implies that COVID was the cause. It could just be a coincidence.

Everything can be a coincidence, it's not an helpful line of inquiry when discussing personal experience. If the man experiences a once in a lifetime health issue after having caught a virus with symptoms that bear similarities to that issue and with all other factors remaining constant, that's as much validation as you're going to get from someone's personal experience.

What specifically in the linked protocol do you disagree with?

I don't need to do a line-by-line rebuttal of a Covid protocol my HVAC technician wrote -- though he likely did more to help the pandemic by changing out HEPA air filters than the Front Link covid quacks did with their awful advice and martyr complex. If someone is catastrophically and unapologetically wrong on problem 1a, you don't really need to pay attention to their solution to problem 1b.

Ok, so just ad hominem then I guess. Lazy and a disservice to yourself and anyone suffering from this.

This is such a silly line of argument -- If someone writes a paper that says "the sky is pink" -- you would afford them no airtime at all, even as "minority viewpoints". These doctors are quacks, they get as much mainstream media coverage as quacks deserve.

Listening to Robert Malone and numerous other scientists like Anders Tegnell and Dr. Peter McCoullough and other people with credentials that make your credentials look like those of an HVAC technician, it's strange that the HVAC technician would call them quacks. Just because you have the main stream media on your side doesn't mean your narrative isn't 'the sky is pink'. It could mean the emperor wears no clothes bu…

It's not the 'narrative' thats on the side of vaccines and actual useful therapeutics -- it's the vast majority of science.

You sound exactly like my elderly obese neighbor whose rationale for not getting vaccinated is "all those doctors who aren't getting it have to know something I don't". If 99% of scientists and doctors are on one side, and you need to resort to credentialism instead of actual research to prop up those who are on the other, you're not really standing on solid ground.

If ivermectin worked, it would have had signal in any of the dozens of trials we've run. If Malone had anything useful to say, he wouldn't be hanging out with Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson and lying about "inventing MRNA and DNA vaccines" and whether vaccines are cytotoxic. These people are frauds and we'd all be better for saying that plainly.

Do they sell any furnace filters capable of stopping these?

Although never formally diagnosed I'm pretty sure I have/had long covid. I had mild covid in the summer, and it never fully went away, but what was left was inability to recall facts, brutal short term memory, and waking up with pounding pounding head aches that would not go away no matter how much Tylenol I took. Honestly it was awful, working was so difficult. It started to clear up about 2 months ago, around the same time I switch from Tylenol to Advil, and also started rubbing high CBD cream on my head daily. Headaches are now at about once a week, and last a lot less time, memory is getting better. I also decided to spend long period of time listening to familiar music from high school and college. My memory is pretty auditory, I thought maybe it would somehow help with recall. There was a time there that I genuinely worried about getting back to normal in terms of being able to work hard. I'm not exactly sure what this paper is about, but I'd love to get back to normal. :\

I just got the booster shot today, previous times I had a weird headache and a new vein (felt it pulsing, didn't have it before) popped up in the white part of my eye (it's still there after 6 months), second time I had minor heart palpitations the day after so I'm kinda worried this time. Would taking Aspirin help prevent any kind of weirdness like that? I need to know asap so I can take it before anything potential…

Unfortunately I think any anti inflammatory is not recommended when you get a vaccine. You want the immune system to be fully armed. That is my recollection from googling when I got my vaccines.

Just hang in there you’ll feel better soon.
