#2 - He Went to Germany to Get His Blood Washed! Steve's Long Covid Journey with Treatments for Microclots & Autoantibodies

from The Understanding ME/CFS Podcast · host Patrick Ussher

In the second episode of the Understanding ME/CFS podcast, I talk to Steve, an ME/CFS & Long Covid patient, who travelled to a German dialysis centre in order to have HELP apheresis (for microclots) and immunoadsorption (for autoantibodies). Steve shares his (initially positive but overall disappointing experience) with these therapies, as well as more about his overall journey.  More about your host, Patrick Ussher  For my personal website, writings/talks, YouTube channel, Understanding ME/CFS book, social media, etc, please follow this link: https://linktr.ee/patrickussher  #MECFS #LongCovid #ChronicIllness #Research #Autoimmunity #Microclots Intro music: The Path (piano & strings) by Patrick Ussher **Disclaimer - you should not rely on any medical information contained in this Podcast and related materials in making medical, health-related or other decisions.
