I am both a doctor and a patient (other chronic illness than post-COVID). So I know both sides of the bed. Very educational.

Mijn man Bert was er ook, als ik door ziekte niet aan huis was gekluisterd, was ik er ook bij geweest. Het journaal opende er wel mee…. MOREEL was ik er bij!

Hi Hein, 5-HTP is a good alternative for an SSRI (see also the article in Frontiers where I also mention this). And PEA is a good anti-inflammatory! I am also in favor of as many natural remedies as possible! Keep it up and all the best! Carla

And again my last article on the neurobiological background of PAIS, including post-Covid, which makes it clear that these conditions are originally physical disorders and not psychological conditions. doi.org/10.3389/fneu...

PCP’s can prescribe SSRIs quite easily. As long as they build up the SSRIs very slowly and switch to another SSRI if there are too many side effects.

β€˜Scientists will not be silenced’: thousands protest Trump research cuts Researchers at Stand Up for Science rallies voice defiance against the policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration.

The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of β€œScientists will not be silenced”, β€œFacts over fear” and β€œWhat do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard.

But the most scientist want
the best for the patients.
I often empathize with my patients to such an extent that I myself experience fundamental discomfort.
