Summary This letter outlines my experience as a father dealing with my child's contraction of COVID-19, which later developed into long COVID. I detail the symptoms, diagnoses, treatments, and my research into potential underlying causes like microclotting and CD38 activation. The journey led me to explore various treatment avenues, including Heparin-induced Extracorporeal LDL Precipitation (H.E.L.P.) apheresis in Europe. Emphasizing both the challenges and the support received, I end with a plea for medical practitioners to engage proactively with emerging research on long COVID in children. I urge them to avoid misdiagnoses and ensure accurate treatments, highlighting the complexity and novel nature of the condition, in the hope that our story can serve as a beacon for others.
Hallo Ryan! Können Sie mir Tipps geben, wie man bei einer Spendenaktion über gofoundme erfolgreich sein kann? Bei uns tut sich leider nicht soviel.
Mein 9 jähriger Sohn ist auch sehr schwer betroffen.

Hi Ryan.
Thanks for your fantastic articles.
We are also going through HELP apheresis with our Australian teenage son. Is there any chance I can contact you directly?
Many thanks
Sophia
