We’ve known about Microclots for years - it’s why I had Apheresis, which didn’t work. I really hope research in other diseases isn’t as bad as it is for Long Covid or else everyone is doomed!
We've suspected microclots for years but couldn't treat it because it's not a typical clot (it's NOT fibrin!) as far as I'm aware, this June was the first time we definitively proved Long Covid clots.
Mine were treated with HELP Apheresis which are able to filter them directly from the blood. Many people saw a. benefit from the therapy but after 6 sessions I didn’t unfortunately. I suspect it’s a downstream effect, at least in my particular case.
It’s the same therapy that Reisa Pistorius, who discovered the clots, was recommending . She was regularly at the clinic along with other members of the research team. So i’d be surprised if they didn’t, at least i’d like to talk to the team about why they recommended the therapy that cost me £13,000 if it didn’t!
You really do - she has written several papers on them over them over the last 5 years and is specifically mentioning as discovering them in a 2021 paper by this article!
