Will this show up in routine measurements of inflammation such as crp or ear?

Often, the routine inflammatory markers are normal.

Yes exactly right. I’ve literally just had my CRP checked, and it’s the lowest it’s ever been, but I have got a “world” of things going on with me I can’t figure out.

Is IL-6 also linked somehow to mast cell activation, and heightened sensitivity to histamine. A double edged sword?

Yes, I think it will heighten the sensitivity of mast cells.

This is helpful thanks. Would the symptoms of too active interferon be a constant feeling of fight or flight?

More like a constant flu infection.

I really would liked to have taken part in this discussion. It‘s very interesting. both of you are right. Philip is seeing strange, weird diseases (me too). These MIGHT be infections all over the body (triggered by the virus and/or the immune system). But let‘s be clear: Geert‘s hypothesis is a model. and things in medicine don‘t follow exactly a model. We are all different. So, there will be nor black or white. There will be grey pictures in lots of patients. One more to the colour of black, one more to the colour of white.

Long Covid symptoms are identical to electro-magnetic radiation sickness.
