Long Covid, Comunidades Post Vac y Enfermedades Crónicas

Support groups are important to navigate through chronic illness, but once they reach a certain size and/or are run by admins that lost hope of recovery, the negative effects often outweigh the positive ones and it is more beneficial to leave a toxic environment, because as Jed Bennett calls it – misery often loves company.

One of the support groups that we recommend, because they value the same principles as we – scientific, fact based information and positive communication is the Long Covid Apheresis Community (lcacommunity.org). Our Co-founder Markus Klotz has founded the predecessor organisation of the Long Covid Apheresis Community – the former Apheresis Association. You can find an article about this here. 

Unfortunately many support groups have outgrown the size where they can be useful to members. Admins and members that already have given up hope and suppress positive information are likely not good company as Jed Bennett describes in this little mini-series of three short videos: Mini-series with Jed Bennett in our blog

Two studies that hint to why such support groups are prone to become this way, are about the lack of serotonin (and potentially dopamine) and cortisol, which in combination or on their own will affect the psychological wellbeing of a person massively.

A person in front of a keyboard affected by the above and with the power to decide about what is published or not – we leave the result to your imagination. 

Below you find further information about a project of the Long Covid Community, which our Med Team supported – an Apheresis Resource for treating doctors of PCS/PVS/CI patients:

Nuestro equipo médico apoya la labor de la comunidad de enfermos crónicos / postvacaciones de larga duración

Last year, many of our patients postponed their treatment decisions and only arrived this year. As early treatment is very beneficial, this did not sit well with us – especially as most of the time the reason for postponement was a local health professional who did not have the in-depth knowledge to support them. This is why we have supported the community with a project to gather and share knowledge about (H.E.L.P.) apheresis for medical professionals:
