Hi Guys, Today I completed the slides that were needed to be posted as a video on YouTube on " The Microclots in COVID-19 and Long-Hauler". A friend here at Twitter requested for subtitles to be added to a previous video posted on YouTube, so I thought to post it here as a thread

Disclaimer-Intro
Clinical Features in Long-COVID
Effects of Abnormal coagulation in COVID-19 and Long-COVID that may present with complex clinical features.
1- Clot is a mass of platelets and protein fibrin at the site of bleeding. Without a cut or injury, a clot formed is called a thrombus. A detached thrombus is an embolus.
In COVID and Long-COVID a single or combination of the following factors can cause tiny clots (thrombi) to be formed in small vessels that can decrease blood flow to tissues causing damage (ischemia).
A thrombus can get detached to become an embolus that travels in a vessel to totally obstruct the small vessel ahead and cause the death of the tissues supplied by the vessel. The organs shown can suffer from abnormal clotting activated by factors detailed in the previous tweet.
This is a complex unpublished slide that shows how immune response to residual SARS-CoV-2 proteins interacts with antibodies to cause microthrombi activation. Most if not all of the symptoms in Long-COVID and LH are related to the residual antigens and a sustained IgG interaction
Shown here is the complex interactions of clotting pathways and active players in COVID-19 and Long-COVID that lead to deleterious outcomes shown on the right side.
Many thanks for your views, I don't recommend any self-medication. Kindly let your physician decide what suits you best, and if your physician doesn't recognize Long-COVID or the symptoms of ME-CFS, kindly refer him/her to me for a complete neurological examination and fMRI.
Yesterday, when I was preparing this presentation the SARSCoV2 was seeding me. Today with 101 fever, lil cough and body aches gripped me. Did LFT with the result below, do you see a faint pink bar at T?
Keeping myself in isolation with usual remedies for now. Need your wishes..
