Keeping a Record of Symptoms

[Ever (Zombiepreparation)]

In the early years of L.C. research when the medical professionals were still trying to get a handle on WTH is this thing doing to these people, they began studying the posts on the message boards around the world that we were setting up in self-defense since we were being dismissed as slackers who just want to live off the cushy workmans comp we were getting. By our personal doctors, families, friends, places where we worked telling us "It's all in your head and attitude". Get a therapist or something.

So we began banding together in on-line groups; reporting our symptoms, reporting anything... ANYTHING, that gave us relief. In a handful of cases, reporting something they did/used and their case went away.

The researchers began studying these posts. And taking notes. That's the way the researchers began learning possible research directions.

[when (if?) I find where I learned this from one of the now forefront researchers I'll place the link here]

Now my L.C. began too late in the game to know about, then find these groups (except for the Facebook. groups and I don't use Facebook) I had no clue that others like me were record keepers on this matter. I had long been reporting on the ZS covid sitrep thread, then here on our own, on what I was experiencing.


And January 10, 2023 was when the Event that turned into my own L.C. Began. I was documenting it here, and keeping a detailed daily record.

  Which came to my mind when sometime recently I heard the researcher I was referring to say with admiration "And these people are good record keepers."

Around the first part of June 2023 though I stopped keeping records the only way I knew at that time. My life of 'not recovering' was devolving into 'it not only never stops, the symptoms are getting stronger when they it me, more symptoms keep showing up'. 

Maybe (it's in the other thread, and my newly restarted record keeping) I discovered there was another one of me in the city + a separate conversation with an acquaintance about still not able to eat after all these months who said maybe try "this". (also in another thread) And I slowly began to eat. Then contact with the other L.C. person + contact with another one, then in days part of L.C. Support Group.

Still talking about record keeping here 

My life began to shift. They talked of recovering life in-between symptom storms and on light symptoms days.

Huh.

And several of them said they kept records; of symptoms, strength, duration, what they did, what they ate/drank/took/etc. And noticed correlations.

💡

I began doing this, plus adding the category of sleep. And noticed strong clear correlations to most of the symptoms and Crashes.

Looked up some stuff, modified certain things I do. Which seemed to positively impact some of the biggest crashes as well as some of the intensity of a lot of the symptoms.

This was a major personal discovery. Which has positively impacted the quality of my life.

So, yeah. Keeping L.C. records:
-Massively helpful to world-wide researchers trying to figure out how to help us. Some of them are now tracking clues that may actually fix us.
-Know actual RT people having success in improving the quality of their lives directly correlated to symptom record keeping.
-I AM a person who's experiencing a significant turn around in the quality of my life and a direct correlation  to symptom record keeping.


So, yeah. Keeping a record of symptoms. 👍


If you've got L.C. ya might want to try this out.

Yeah.

Is anyone here, or you know of anyone doing this?

[Ever (Zombiepreparation)]

Ah. 

I just noticed my book mark of the final post about my Jan 2023 covid Event in the covid sitrep thread where I logged in March:

https://ufozs.com/smf/index.php?topic=40.msg26743#msg26743

I 'believe at this posting'......

It may be missed placed but for once I'm having a relaxing confidence this thing is going to end.

.......

Unless of course Long COVID rears it's ugly head. But that would be a story for another time.

I mean, seriously, I just have to laugh. 👵 What else can ya do.
😅
