This case report says that Long covid is in large part driven by the gene rs5522 that causes a "cortisol steal" leaving the tissues functionally starved even with "normal" cortisol levels which creates neuroinflammation. https://zenodo.org/records/20017632
I started a GLp1 and I was releasing a lot of fluid. And the drug inserts and online info sheets say that increased urination is not a side effect, and then I realized the "fat" was really fluid trapped around the fat cells that had been walled off into anti-inflammatory cages. The glp1 drops the inflammation, the fluid starts to be released and voila, I expelled fluid that is not the greatest in odor because it has bene stagnant with inflammatory cytokines and proteins and junk. It's Fluid! Not Fat.
