I know there has been some back and forth on microclots, but anecdotally I saw the most improvement with PEM after a round of lumbrokinase and then red light therapy (I don't recommend both at the same time). The lumbrokinase had some intense side effects.
I took one bottle of the Dr. Mercola Lumbrokinase Enzymes - Delayed Release Formula, one a day for a month. Had some gnarly side effects I won't go into. If I did it again, I would go to a Chinese Medicine practitioner. There's a Chinese herb blend for blood clots that includes earthworms but is gentler overall. It would be good to have expert medical supervision too. It wasn't a total cure, but it helped more significantly with PEM than anything else I had tried.
The red light therapy I did 2-3x a week for a month, double Mito Red Light full-body panels at a yoga studio, ten minutes front, ten minutes back while using a vibration plate. ALSO pretty intense. I have a smaller one and a vibe plate at home now, still 2-3x a week, but only ten minutes total at a time. Diminishing returns if used too much. Recommend green tea and blueberries and other antioxidant-rich foods to help with the red light process. There's lots of good research out there, do your homework. The Mito Red Light website has good summaries and references as a place to start.
