That’s good! I believe that it can be misleading to assume that because your thymus appears healthy on a CT scan that your immune system is functioning to par. Be sure you have the vitamin C, D, and Zinc in optimal ranges. There are other residual effects from the virus as well such as gut dysbiosis which is cause a number of continuous downstream effects if gone untreated. I did not mean to say any thymus dysfunction is the explanation for long Covid in it’s entirety. There is malabsorption of vitamins, nutrients, and amino acids; gut permeability, organ inflammation, dysfunction in Short Fatty Chain Acid synthesis, neurotransmitter synthesis, and a likely overgrowth of bad bacteria and yeast.

I definitely don't think my immune system is performing normally. Just was specifically mentioning the thymus part cause they said its rare for people to have an intact thymus when most by 30 went through a full involution.

I see. That’s fully understandable. I don’t believe my immune system is performing well either. May I ask, what was your attributed “long Covid” infection like?

I don't fully understand your question. If you mean my acute infection, it was bad, 91% spo2 bilateral delta pneumonia. If you mean my long covid symptoms....2 years of pure hell....burning hands/feet, blurred vision, sob, chest pains, brain fog, dysmotility. To name a few.

I was meaning long Covid. And sorry to hear about these symptoms Man. I’m about to begin a long Covid podcast and we’re aiming at just bringing on people with long Covid for quality collaboration, and discussing our long Covid stories. At the least you make a friend in the community and have some meaningful helpful conversations, at the most you help others through the spread of awareness and knowledge and we blow the lid off this misunderstood illness
