"Strange Structures Found Lurking in The Blood of People With Long COVID."
Analysis found long COVID patients had far more microclots than healthy controls — a median 19.7-fold increase — and the clots were also significantly larger than those seen in healthy blood.

Expert COVID physicians + researchers say 30% of COVID cases turn into Long-Covid, w/ lingering virus + a full-on assault by the immune system. Similar to #MECFS, usually launched by Epstein Barr + other viruses.

Surprised heparin was used. Treating physicians taught me anticoagulants don’t work w ME/CFS and COVID microclots
bc these clots are not the result of a thrombic cascade but instead are fibrin-myeloid in nature, the result of infection, epithelial inflammation, and a reprogrammed immune system,

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.
But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

MICROCLOTS in ME/CFS and COVID patients need far more recognition among physicians.
These are not regular clots; they have a diff cause, molecular structure, tests.
Anticoagulants don’t work.
Treating the upstream cause (infections, stuck immune system) + apheresis help but ignorance kills.

It's not just denials...it's also limiting the treatment based on insurance protocols. My husband was finally declared disabled last year and the difference in care he now gets with Medicare after years of fighting with insurance companies has been life changing.

Tell your healthcare story.
We're asking as many ME/CFS. patients as possible
to describe your path or struggle or nightmare
accessing competent medical care for ME/CFS.
Form is at the link, If you get tired when filling it out,
just say so, and ask to be contacted.
We're investigating health insurance denials. If you want to share your insights, here's how:
Do You Have Insights Into Dental and Health Insurance Denials? Help Us Report on the System.
Insurers deny tens of millions of claims every year. ProPublica is investigating why claims are denied, what the consequences are for patients and how the appeal process really works.
