Reply to comment by Michaelcycle13 in Scientists find people with Long Covid have 2 major cytokines of the immune system (IL-8, IFN-γ) reduced by 100% by sagdiyev1

I definitely don't think my immune system is performing normally. Just was specifically mentioning the thymus part cause they said its rare for people to have an intact thymus when most by 30 went through a full involution.

I see. That’s fully understandable. I don’t believe my immune system is performing well either. May I ask, what was your attributed “long Covid” infection like?

I don't fully understand your question. If you mean my acute infection, it was bad, 91% spo2 bilateral delta pneumonia. If you mean my long covid symptoms....2 years of pure hell....burning hands/feet, blurred vision, sob, chest pains, brain fog, dysmotility. To name a few.

I was meaning long Covid. And sorry to hear about these symptoms Man. I’m about to begin a long Covid podcast and we’re aiming at just bringing on people with long Covid for quality collaboration, and discussing our long Covid stories. At the least you make a friend in the community and have some meaningful helpful conversations, at the most you help others through the spread of awareness and knowledge and we blow the lid off this misunderstood illness
