He Flew to Germany for Long Covid Blood-Washing Treatments: Steve’s Story

After more than three years of struggling with Long Covid (and another commonly co-occurring condition), Steve travelled from the U.S. to Bayreuth, Germany for two cutting-edge blood treatments:

HELP Apheresis — designed to remove microclots
Immunoadsorption — used to eliminate damaging autoantibodies

In this interview, Steve shares:

His symptoms and health journey
Treatments he tried before
What the process in Germany was like
His initial outcomes after both therapies

While not a cure, these therapies offer hope to some patients and are part of a growing landscape of experimental treatments for Long Covid, ME/CFS, and POTS.

📌 Whether you’re researching treatment options or simply seeking solidarity, this is a story worth hearing.
