A heroic international effort got me moved by ambulance from Homerton NHS to a private hospital. A 45-minute ambulance trip on oxygen triggered a microvascular episode, but I made it.

Follow up. My wife just came out of surgery, a “microvascular decompression” to address her trigeminal neuralgia. She had a massive impingement of a vein on the nerve. She’s just waking up … and the pain (for now) is gone.
I’m surprised that Stephen King never wrote a story about trigeminal neuralgia, because my
<loved one> is dealing with this condition and it’s an effing nightmare. Excruciating phantom pain in your face, triggered by talking, eating, a light wind… what the absolute f*** is this?

Microvascular obstruction is known to be a #LongCovid feature. Now a potential mechanism found for the obstruction induced by death of endothelial cells->sticky red blood cells. Which wouldn't respond to blood thinners or anti-platelet Rx

It’s my birthday. I’m 44. I feel deeply happy. That feels extraordinary - after 22 years with ME, and now 17 days in hospital with post-Covid microvascular failure.
What I’m going through feels otherworldly. But it’s common. Not rare.
We must take ME and Long Covid seriously!

Hospital update:
(1) Beginning to get MS-like paralysis from being in hospital (familiar in extreme ME)
(2) Microvascular post-COVID damage feels like drowning without solution
(3) Troponin rise introduces another potential heart event into picture.
