CoViD, microbiomes, "good bacteria," and Crohn's. All this is interesting and promising but I have no access to it until and unless my local medical-industrial complex considers it legit, which could be never. As they say, what's "sexy" right now is monoclonal antibodies such as the incredibly expensive one I'm on (Skyrizi) which definitely improved my Crohn's symptoms but also keeps me chained to the med system and the state (Medicaid) as a "professional patient" brining income to these systems. I'd rather get well, and also not have the terrifyingly severe CoViD reactions I get which are worse than anyone else's I know. I'm grateful there are any effective treatments at all, of course, and grateful I have access to one, however insanely priced it is, and grateful I have IL state Medicaid covering it.
