@ThePOTSPostman Saw a neurologist recently who commented that it must be really hard not to just assume everything is long covid and to perservere to check things put properly with a doctor. Was nice for that little struggle to be recognised.

@chydorina @1goodtern 👋

@BonJovi 🙌 raise your hands

@IKEAUK Be warned, apparently relying on the sticker label on the product, for an item in a pile labelled the same way and all stickered in the same way was my fault. Really poor customer service and no resolution offered other than return at my time and expense

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@IKEAUK not impressed by opening up my billy bookcase box to find completely wrong colour inside, not what the sticker showed

@HMRCcustomers how do I know if you've received a letter about needing to pay income tax due from a deceased estate? How long should a response take?

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@clarejdaly I hesitate to suggest other ideas, but I've recently seen a kinesiologist and it has been a really good way for me of trying to work out which supplements may help. Can't explain how it works, but I've added several to my list in last few months and seeing some improvements

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@ThePOTSPostman I take ivabradine, nattokinase, serrapeptase, NAC, CoQ10 (1200 units a day), vit D, quercetin, spirulina, zinc/copper and fosadophilus, use visible for heart rate pacing and do restorative yoga. Regular cranial osteopathy amd acupuncure. Previously did triple therapy.

@drclairetaylor Is this something like a functional b12 deficiency? B12 shows fine on regular bloods but recently homocysteine levels checked which suggested a different problem, not sure what it means, waiting for a re test to check

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@MECFSLongCov I did a free genetic test with sano genetics for a long covid study, not sure if it's still running, was at least a year ago. I got a big report back, but don't remember whether it covered mitochondrial problems. Was some commentary, but nothing I was able to practically use

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@clarejdaly @visible_health That's brilliant! Visible males life a lot easier

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@pamelarbishop Almost all my symptoms are left side only, that's where I get swelling around my eye and permanent headache, all the tingling and numbness in left hand and foot, pain in left ribs/chest (cardiac checks all clear) and other random stuff. I'm right handed though.

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@1goodtern I'm still masking!

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@I_need_a_razor I carried on improving after reinfection, secretly hoped that my immune system had managed to clear out some virus hanging around from first time along with the new lot while it was ramped up for a new infection. No way of telling sadly

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@Naomi_D_Harvey I read something about MCAS making your skin look like chicken skin, may link to inflammation too, but not sure about the other bits.

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@ThePOTSPostman Being stubborn and selfish are positive traits to use to liberally, because you're going to need to use both to get anywhere

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@AlexSprackland If I put this in my GP system, it just says no results found. Not even badly acknowledged as a condition

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@ThePOTSPostman Taekwondo. Even running as well, which I hated and found hard before, but would love the chance to do it again now.

[Gillian Jackson @sippyj99]

@1goodtern Not just the kids that are harmed, teachers and staff damaged by covid as well - does this affect how well they are, or are not supporting kids as well?
