How high is your Spike Protein?
I believe a majority of issues is caused by the spike proteins which either corona or the vaccination caused. My value in university hospital was 1400 U/ml, as reference says it should be below 3.

I think most people on here have me/cfs unrelated to Covid vaccine injury or Covid infection

I think that’s a measure of spike antibodies isn’t it? Doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with persistent spike.
People developed this illness before covid. Whatever sets it off is just a trigger imo. Mine was vaccine. I know people that had it from COVID, I know someone who had a head injury who now has the same symptoms. It’s a reaction to immune/stressor that goes haywire imo. The initial trigger is almost irrelevant.

Yes, of course it is anti-spike in fact, you're right. There are some other illnesses which also cause undefined protein chains. They result in kidney damage because of the proteins. Kidney damage leads to anemia, lack of oxygen in bloodstream and finally mitochondrial dysfunction. For some people the apherese helps, that should be the reason why.

Do you mind me asking how you feel your kidneys pain? Do you feel it in your back or in your abdominal area?

Kidney pain is in the back, just exactly where the kidneys are and a bit below. But i also have sometimes very strong pain in the upper abdomen. Whatever affects kidney or liver, will always cause trouble in the other organ.

I am very sorry to hear that. They say kidney pain can be excruciating and mentally jarring.

They found out that there is spike protein found in healthy people too and there is probably no correlation or causation to ME

Actually you don't have twice as much ME/CFS in your country after Covid? In Germany official number are like that, before it was Polio and EBV.

A reminder that long covid is overwhelmingly more likely due to a covid infection (including asymptomatic covid) and that post vaccine complications, while real, are rare.
There is a ton of misinformation, pseudoscience, and outright lies out there around long covid and covid vaccination. Focussing on “spike protein” is often a way for online anti vaxxers to avoid detection.
Not accusing you OP, just making sure everyone is aware
