@mihaylova_jpg After really only seeing your work on Reddit, I had no idea in the background you were going through all of this. I wish you the best of luck in fighting through it all. You are a strong willed person having gone through this while continuing to make such amazing works of art.
Asking for help is difficult.
But living every day in a body that causes constant pain is even harder.
For almost five years, I have been living with constant, exhausting muscle pain throughout my entire body, after vaccination and COVID, severe stiffness, cramps, tremors, and the feeling that my body has stopped being my ally.
This is a condition that takes away the possibility of a normal, full life.
Over these years, I have seen dozens of doctors and clinics in different countries.
I have received multiple diagnoses, including: fibromyalgia (repeatedly), rheumatic disease, autoimmune syndromes, suspected myositis, post-infectious complications, Hyper-IgM syndrome, and antisynthetase syndrome.
During this time, I have undergone:
courses of intravenous immunoglobulin high-dose steroids for years
muscle relaxants in large doses for years antidepressants and neuromodulators for years
• two surgeries in which nerves in my head &
neck were partially disabled in order to reduce pain endless tests, blood work, MRis, CT scans, and
specialist consultations
None of this cured me.
I am referring specifically to Total Plasma Exchange (TPE).
❗️Important clarification:
There are simpler and cheaper procedures (partial plasmapheresis or filtration).
These use different machines and provide a much lower level of therapeutic impact.
Total Plasma Exchange is the most intensive and aggressive form of apheresis, during which:
blood plasma is completely removed, autoimmune antibodies, immune complexes, and inflammatory mediators are physically eliminated, blood cells are returned with full plasma
replacement using specialized solutions.
This method is used in severe autoimmune and systemic conditions, when milder approaches are no longer effective.
Cost:
1 Total Plasma Exchange procedure - 14,000
PLN (= $3,900 USD)
Procedures are performed every other day.
For any effect, at least one course of 5
procedures is required.
If you are able to support me, financially or simply by sharing my fundraiser, it would mean more to me than I can express 🙏🏻♥️🫂

@flexasaurusrex@mihaylova_jpg The conclusion here that can be made that it is a result of COVID and not the vaccines as we already know the long term issues COVID can cause.
