ME since 2016. Have been working on microbiome since 2021. Finally got a test in 2023 with symptoms at 90% (first time in five years). Discovered four biomarkers in my sample correlated with 90%. Hope to maintain 90% in 2023/4.https://bsky.app/profile/dom2023.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/dom2023.bsky.social/post/3m2cjymeqlk2pExcellent article here by Hillary Johnson about POTS https://substack.com/home/post/p-171834465 which specifically focusses on diagnostics and overlap with some other disease evalaution tests. But the bit abouts POTS and leak rate is super interesting.03 Oct 2025 16:56 +0000at://did:plc:ug7udddsoh4t3bfmj7lntgaf/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2cjymeqlk2phttps://bsky.app/profile/dom2023.bsky.social/post/3lmahq4zeo22oTree pollen levels. In 2023 I started logging tree pollen levels for birch trees. In 2024 I made it comprehensive and continued in 2025. I now have two back to back years and it's official, 2025 tree pollen levels are higher than 2024. 1st week April 2025 attached + comparisons for 2024/2025.07 Apr 2025 17:18 +0000at://did:plc:ug7udddsoh4t3bfmj7lntgaf/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmahq4zeo22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/dom2023.bsky.social/post/3ld4ruvntmc2uFor anyone interested this was the hong kong trial in long covid patients taking probiotics which dramatically improved symptoms that Eric Topol was mentioning https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(23)00685-0/fulltext.12 Dec 2024 17:22 +0000at://did:plc:ug7udddsoh4t3bfmj7lntgaf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld4ruvntmc2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/dom2023.bsky.social/post/3ld4r7yasxc2uFrom the study closing sentence "Finally, we identified four LC symptom clusters, with gastrointestinal and fatigue-only groups most strongly linked to gut microbiome alterations." this must be the cluster I occupy. Sadly the probiotic route mentioned in the HK study hasn't worked for me.

On twitter I had aquite a lot of threads about the microbiome, I've spent several years testing my microbiome (ME CFS with some LC symptoms) and I've researched and read as much as I can to understand the results. I have also attenuated my diet to incorporate all these changes.11 Dec 2024 16:28 +0000at://did:plc:ug7udddsoh4t3bfmj7lntgaf/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld26ex7mok2x
