Monday
Dear Elsie
Yesterday evening David came up and said he had felt a small positive change. David’s main issue has been Exercise Intolerance. He’s not able to walk far and has to go super slowly. Then, if he has walked 250m he has spent 2-3 hours recovering. He’s been at about 10% of his physical ability. Yesterday he felt he could now be about 20%. We were overwhelmed with gratitude at this small improvement. He had started these two supplements on Thursday…
When I Googled : What does pine bark extract do to muscles, I found this explanation:
As well as this…
It is proposed that PycnogenolⓇ may be beneficial in supporting recovery and mitigating symptoms and long-term consequences resulting from a SARS-CoV2 infection in COVID-19 patients.
Pycgnogenol is the trade-marked name for Pine Bark Extract.
I’m not sure if you can read what is written on the L-Arginine – if not it says it has the effect of being a precursor of nitric oxide which helps maintain healthy blood vessel tone.
I do believe the combination of these two supplements have been instrumental in seeing this little improvement. Meaningful research into long haul Covid which will provide proven treatment is going to take time. David has got the most effective tips from a Reddit subgroup on Long-Haul Covid, where people from across the world share their experiences, their symptoms and what has worked for them. It was one of them who, after 8 months of crippling fatigue, found out about this combination of Pine Bark extract and L-Arginine & within a couple more months, she was back to about 85% of her previous strength. We are so grateful to God for that coming to light.
We are cautious about our optimism. It may be a case of 2 steps forward and 1 step back, so we continue to take 1 day at a time. We are also grateful for wonderful family time this Easter. It was wonderful seeing Stacey, Adrian and you Elsie and spending time with you all. Happy memories of us sitting around early in the morning drinking coffee while you were still asleep and then, once you woke up, this little bundle of energy and activity breezing in with enthusiasm. “I want to be Granny’s friend”. Always, my darling, always! Precious moments.
Psalm 92:4
For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
It’s not about now- we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
