In the second episode of the Understanding ME/CFS podcast, I talk to Steve, an ME/CFS & Long Covid patient, who travelled to a German dialysis centre in order to have HELP apheresis (for microclots) and immunoadsorption (for autoantibodies). Steve shares his (initially positive but overall disappointing experience) with these therapies, as well as more about his overall journey.
