Mouthwash question

Is the ingredient that helps prevent vs Covid called, “Cetylpyridinium Chloride’? (CPC)?

All three contain it. One on left is 45p, middle £1.25 and right £4.50.

Is there some other ingredient that shouldn’t be in the mouthwash bc it makes less effective?

3. Trust people's capability: when we emotionally monitor adults, we're sending a message (though unintentionally) that we don't trust them. Trust people to find their own solutions and to work through their own feelings. This will take practice.

A reminder #MECFS #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis is much more than just fatigue/being very tired. #pwME live in bodies that are at breaking point every day. Most of us have lost careers, relationships, friendships & exist in solitude. Sadly 50% of people with #LongCovid will join us.

How would you describe the difference between PEM and fatigue to someone new to it? #LongCovid #pwME

Friends with Long Covid - These are dietary instructions from a functional medicine doctor posted in a group I'm in, and they helped reduce symptoms a great deal. Sharing in case anyone might benefit. Greens, berries, fresh meat & fish, nuts, and seeds. Nothing else. 1/2

Kirsty Hulse 💪 I was so glad when I finally bought our own place, successive rip-offs by landlords really gets you down. We took one to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme dispute, took forever but we won, I'd recommend you do that tenancydepositscheme.com/deposit-disput…

Is there a functional doctor that anyone with #MEcfs or #LongCovid would recommend in the UK (who will do virtual consults and who understands the limitations of very severely affected pwME)?

Stop Apologizing When You Aren't Sorry.

Take Up Space And Start Feeling More Confident:

POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) in #LongCovid & #MECFS

I have many patients who have lived with undiagnosed POTS for years.
This is as disabling as heart failure.
Once diagnosed&treated I have patients whose lives have been drastically changed. #MedTwitter

Adding this-
POTS is not just tachycardia (fast heart rate) it so so much more.
Source on photo. I think it’s a great representation.

The test is so simple.
The same as a lying/standing BP but for 10 minutes and not 3.
Full instructions here batemanhornecenter.org/wp-content/upl…
This can be done at home and best results I think are in usual environment (patients should always check this test is suitable before doing)

#TheAcidTest

1/2

After fighting #LongCovid vor 2 1/2 years, there is finally the missing puzzle piece I was looking for!
Thanks to twitter i took the lactate test some days ago. It came back high!
My doctor gave me alpha lipoic acid intravenously!

A 10-min stand test is a cheap and easy test that should be performed on every #LongCovid patient to identify whether #Dysautonomia is present. Pictured is a Jacobs School at University at Buffalo med student who shadowed me today doing the test. I am hoping she and others become interested in…
