this recent preprint on PEM was fascinating. in the study, exercise (appeared to) make large microclots break into many small microclots… like frag grenades of inflammation

Fazit: Die trainingsbedingte Fragmentierung von fibrinösen Mikroklumpen kann den Sauerstofftransport verringern und die Entzündung fördern, was einen möglichen Mechanismus für die Post-Exertional Symptom Exacerbation (PESE) bei Long COVID darstellt.

Preprint: Research Square Exercise-induced Changes in Microclotting and Cytokine Levels Point to Vascular Injury and Inflammation in People with Long COVID — Callum Thomas et al. "Our findings reveal that submaximal exercise induces a shift in microclot size distribution: specifically, a decrease in the proportion of larger microclots (100–3000 µm²) is accompanied by a relative increase in smaller microclots (> 0–30 µm²) post-exercise." "The patterns demonstrated here suggest that larger microclots undergo fragmentation rather than clearance during exercise"

Cardiologists require COVID diagnostic training.
What tests should I run?
What signs/symptoms must be followed up?
Preventative diagnostics MUST become more commonplace, due to hidden COVID microclotting.

They conclude that presence of microclotting, together with relatively high levels of six biomarkers known to be key drivers of endothelial and clotting pathology, points to thrombotic endothelialitis as a key pathological process in #LongCOVID.

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection.

Every infection leaves a physiological footprint.” Body text: “Research continues to show that COVID can cause inflammation, microclotting, and tissue injury across multiple organs — even after ‘mild’ or asymptomatic cases. Like smoking in the mid-century, the harm isn’t always immediate. People lived their lives normally until, suddenly, they couldn’t. Your body is keeping score.” Footer line with WHN mission: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

Microclot testing:

Only a small number of patients showed signs of abnormal microclotting.

On average, clotting measures were similar to control groups.

Due to the microclotting with COVID, the rate of heart attacks and strokes is also increased for at least 2 years following infection.

The microclots thing is a fun one. I asked my Hematologist about tests to find if I had microclotting and she said they wouldn't show up on what she can order done.

ISTR a lot of talk about microclotting being the really tough/dangerous part of it in the early days. Sure sounds like that would have vascular effects to me.

Derby researchers studied 46 people with Long COVID and found that even mild exercise breaks large microclots into smaller ones, triggering inflammation and possibly worsening symptoms.

Exercise may harm more than help without careful oversight.

Long COVID refers to any of over fifty complications resulting from COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2), some complications include:

• POTS
• Brain Damage
• Increased risk of Cancer and Diabetes
• Chronic Fatigue
• Microclotting
• Loss of Smell and/or Taste
• Seizures
• Infertility and Erectile Dysfunction

@resiapretorius.bsky.social @CallumThomas96 @DrMark_Faghy and co. This new study suggests that even light exercise may worsen #LongCOVID. by breaking up #microclots and triggering inflammation.

5) 6,000 FU 2x/day nattokinase + 120,000  SPU serrapeptase/day, together, help a lot of people with microclotting so more oxygen gets into cells. Get the ones with enteric coating.

6) Find community. There's /r/cfs, Phoenix Rising, and more. People swap tips and meds they've tried.
