Anyone with a chronic health issue has to become an expert on their chronic health issue because regular doctors can be dismissive of chronic heatlh problems, so I thought these two threads should be shared with anyone who has long covid.

Here's a thread by Ryan Hasner, who tracks covid variants, about the evidence for viral persistance being the cause of a lot of Long Covid cases.: bsky or xcancel

TLDR; His conclusion is that due to the types of antibodies they are seeing covid is likley peristing in deep lung tissue or places in the body with a similar structure to deep lung tissue. He thinks the idea that it's viral protien fragments to be unlikely due to the traits exhibited in the antibody response and for how long these antibodies are being produced in people with long covid.

I don't know if this is replicable, but here is a twitter thread by a user who recovered from long covid and how they treated themselves by concluding that viral persistance was the cause: https://xcancel.com/sun_in_winter12/status/1962944555826676006#m

In particular she recommends Glutathione and CoQ10, some dietary changes, and anti-virals.

Glutathione, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid can all help with this.

Glutathione in particular has been shown to have multiple antiviral properties.

It's often depleted in chronic infections such as HIV, and supplementing it can help restore immune function.

She hasn't detailed everything yet, but some of her process and dietary changes that helped are detailed in the thread and on this page: https://longcovidbegone.substack.com/p/a-positive-update-how-i-stopped-needing

Here is a new study showing people who were vaccine only had better immune responses to new covid variants than people who had "hybrid immunity": https://xcancel.com/brownecfm/status/1961839511496806594#m

"The unexpected finding that vaccination-only participants showed superior cross-neutralization compared to individuals with hybrid immunity challenges conventional assumptions about hybrid immunity advantages'."

This is something fitterhappieraj predicted in 2020: "cov2 is built by nature to distort memory formation. vaccines dont have those machines. i believe we will see the first time a vaccination regimen yield superior immunity than a nonseroconverting natural viral course. the first person to write this up gets an honorary MD"
