I am a 55 y/o female who rec'd a dx of Psoriatic Arthritis (similar to rheumatoid arthritis) just prior to getting co19 Jan 2021. I was started soon after co19 on Methotrexate. I noticed a pretty rapid deterioration in a number of things post co19 which is hard to determine whether it was post (long) covid or PSA but one of them is definitely aging. I have run a lot through PubMed on the effects of Methotrexate and the liver and found anecdotal evidence there that high levels of vit C, resveratrol, NAC and Omegas help prevent fibrosis of the liver due to the damage of the methotrexate. I have since gone off methotrexate as my symptoms have leveled out. I am also on Hydroxychloroquine. I wonder if you go down that trail you might find some things that help get rid or slow the cytokine storm/fibrosis. Also high levels of folate help the red blood cells to repair DNA. I am looking into DHEA, PQQ, COQ10, taurine, quercetin and A-Lipoic acid to help DNA repair. I have also been on PPIs and note that is probably a terrible thing to be on as it also advances aging. Anyhow, I wanted to share what I have found. Thank you for all the time you have devoted to this.
