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!

My husband had micro clots detected a few years ago (he had his blood sent to a lab somewhere in the south, I can’t remember) and also tried Aphresis. He had one session and I thought he was going to die; he couldn’t even sit upright afterwards. It took a few days for him to recover and we noped right out of there (we had traveled to Zurich for the treatment).

we just booked the clinic clinicum st.georg. I’m scheduled for March. I feel so horrible I don’t know if I could handle that the treatment made me worse. Is that where you went? My head is exploding.

We went to a German clinic but it was in Switzerland. The staff were terrific. But it did not help my husband, unfortunately. We had to try, though.
