I got a call for my 4th and I declined. I think I'll wait until the fall b/c I heard that the vaccine will include more variants? The nurse said she has no knowledge of this. Dunno.

New simple challenges can also take a little bit of getting used to. When the pandemic first began, I found it difficult to wear a mask b/c it took up more of my cognitive energy just remembering not to remove my mask when I entered a store. Instead of removing my winter hat when I...

Removing the ear plugs instead of the mask solved the problem :p

Well, removing the mask didn't fix the problem b/c I still couldn't hear the tv. Either way, I eventually figured it out.

Abstract Importance Aging is associated with a decline in mitochondrial function and reduced exercise capacity. Urolithin A is a natural gut microbiome–derived food metabolite that has been shown to stimulate mitophagy and improve muscle function in older animals and to induce mitochondrial...

No, because I talk to myself and I would have noticed.

I took off my mask the other day because I couldn't hear the tv. Is that BF, an M.E moment or something else?

I think there are different experiences in what some describe as brain fog. My delayed cognitive impairment feels like an energy deficit. I slur and have difficulty processing information when my brain is over loaded with simple tasks. I don't have memory issues I need to lie down...

"When it comes over me, I feel like the only thing inside my skull is polystyrene" That's a new one to describe brain fog, and yes I had to google polystyrene.

I would like to know what is causing the underlying deficiencies. It can't all be caused from malabsorption? My test panels indicated countless deficiencies.

I find it interesting that parkinsonian-like syndrome is referred to as manganism. I would humbly advise not to take Mn, or at least not a high dosage. Mn toxicity seems to accelerate neurotoxicity from what I've read. I had parkinsonian-like-syndrome back in 2000 and took mg/taurine...

Reactivation of EBV and HHV6 brought on OI/autonomic impairment 10 years after having M.E.

Abstract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation has been proposed as a driver of Long COVID (LC), but studies in well-characterized post-acute COVID-19 cohorts of individuals with and without Long COVID symptoms over a time course consistent with current case definitions of LC are limited. In a...

Background: Either high or low values of adenosine blood level (ABL) can differentiate some forms of neurally mediated syncope (NMS). A rapid method of measurement has recently been developed. The aim of the present study was: (1) to compare ABLs in an unselected population of consecutive...

@Wonko, yes CoQ10

I have low citric-acid cycle intermediates. Most important cofactors of this cycle are: iron, copper and OOQ10. A deficiency of the any of following factors may support the block of the citric acid cycle. Vitamin B1, B2, B3, lipoic acid, pantothenic , maganese and magnesium. Increasing...

They have trying to get funding from NIH for the maganese and copper w/o success RD: "Maganese needs to be digested and transported from the gut-->blood-->cell-->mitochondria. It can get blocked at any one of these levels. It's got to get into the mitochondria in order for it be functioning...

Preprint Abstract Importance: Reduced exercise capacity is commonly reported among individuals with Long COVID (LC). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold-standard to measure exercise capacity to identify causes of exertional intolerance. Objectives: To estimate the effect of...

I wonder how this therapeutic will positively affect the brain.

I need meat protein. I've tried a macrobiotic diet for six weeks, but felt much better when I went back to eating meat again.
