I got some bloods taken recently and had the same problem, so no folate reading. I don't know much about hemolyzed samples.

Without going too off topic, I would think the chance of discovering an overall test or drug to treat long covid is essentially zero, because the group is so heterogeneous, even compared with ME/CFS. So in that respect, Paul is probably right.

Ah, I hadn't seen that. The gun looks like it's an Airsoft gun or something similar.

So the test most likely to be abnormal was plasma viscosity, which I don't believe I've ever heard of....? I'm assuming it's similar to ESR.

They have always as far as I know represented the staff working in the specialist NHS clinics. I'm sure you can join if you work outside the NHS, but it's very much revolves around the NHS clinics. I don't know what percentage of NHS staff in these clinics are members of BACME.

Scientific Reports, despite being published by Nature [Publishing Group], is not a quality journal, but this fact isn't really appreciated outside of academia.

It's all very bizzare. LDN seems to have a cult following, much like ivermectin has. I think the LDN Trust puts out questionable literature to entice patients.

I developed Raynauds in my late teens or early 20s. I'm not sure I even have it any more as I don't go outside much, especially when it's cold. It never bothered me too much, but it seems to be indicative of some sort of underlying dysfunction that's likely auto-immune in nature.
