COVID-19’s latest bizarre side effect: ‘Restless anal syndrome

Remember it is the NY post.

The latest COVID-19 symptom is about butts — but it’s no joke.

A newly published medical report by doctors in Japan has revealed a mysterious condition associated with the disease called “restless anal syndrome.” Its name is likened to the more commonly discussed restless legs syndrome (RLS) and describes exactly one 77-year-old patient’s afflictions.

The man had only recently checked out of the Tokyo Medical University Hospital following a 21-day stay while ill with COVID-19. But despite having fully recovered from the virus, he returned to report uncomfortable new symptoms.

He told physicians that he began suffering “deep anal discomfort” in the area between his anus and genitals, prompting him with the “essential urge to move” his bowels — which gave him no relief, according to their paper, available to read via “BMC Infectious Diseases.”
As days passed, the patient observed that physical activity seemed to relieve his stressed anus, while lying low only increased his discomfort, which also spiked during the evening hours.

A colonoscopy showed the man had internal hemorrhoids, but that didn’t explain his spasms. His nervous system also appeared to be in working order.

Recovered COVID-19 patients experience array of neurological issues: report
COVID-19 is known for causing a shock wave of side effects, some of which are neurological, including loss of taste and smell, brain fog and numbness.

That’s when doctors reckoned his awkward condition must be neurological, noting that his symptoms had manifested similar to RLS, which has been detected in at least two other recovered COVID-19 patients.

The connection between the disease and RLS is not yet understood, said report author Dr. Itaru Nakamura. Nakamura’s patient, however, may be the first documented case of restless anal syndrome associated with COVID-19, he wrote.

Restless legs syndrome is said to occur in at least 3 million Americans, and its symptoms may occur elsewhere on the body, such as the arms or even the face. Some experts believe the condition is vastly underreported, as the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation estimates that 7% to 8% in the US are living with some form of RLS.

Nakamura prescribed the man a daily regimen of the sedative clonazepam (Klonopin) to help relax his anal muscles, and he has continued to improve after 10 months of treatment, according to the report.

On September 3, there was a big news story on local TV news about a student in our district who died from COVID. According to the State of Florida, no one in my county died from COVID between June 2 and September 13.

Things that make you go, Hmmm?

Some retarded leftwing group called Remove Ron actually put this ad out in Florida with the intent of it being an attack ad against Ron DeSantis. I shit you not.

It makes Florida sound like heaven. Or more to the point, America.

Vaccine related deep vein thrombosis and blood clots? Who knows...

So, how did you get it? I see you got it from a pharmacy and not the feed store out on State Route 416.

It's the same exact stuff. Just don't take a horse sized dose !! I worked as a Vet Tech years back and there are only 3 differences between the vast majority of Veterinary meds vs. People meds: Price, Packaging and Dosage.

My wife started feeling ill this last weekend. We got her an appointment at 7pm Monday evening with the clinic we use , they took blood for lab workup, chest xray, and nasal swab for Covid. Swab results came back Tuesday morning positive for Covid. Wednesday morning she got a call from the hospital that she could have an appointment there to have an infusion of Ivermectin Friday at 2pm, I’m taking her there tomorrow. They scraped my brain Tuesday, results came back negative for Covid. I’m feeling sore throat and nasal discomfort today. Will probably get another nasal swab tomorrow if possible. We both were vaccinated in February and March. Keeping my fingers crossed, have heard that most people who have received an infusion of Ivermectin are dramatically better the next day.

Hope you guys are okay and nothing serious develops.

If you don't mind, can you find out details of the infusion? Things like dosage and how applied?

Warhorse, are you talking about monoclonal antibodies? Ivermectin isn’t given IV. Hope your wife gets better soon and your symptoms aren’t indicative of being COVID positive. I will say this, my 11 year got over it 2 weeks ago and had VERY mild symptoms. Lasted only a few hours.

They have proven that the vaccines do not stay isolated to the muscle tissue where they are injected and can migrate into the vasculature and lymphatic system. Endothelial tissues of the blood vessels are rich in ACE receptors. It is plausible that production of spike protein in those cells and the subsequent binding of them to local ACE receptors could cause inflammatory responses leading to clotting issues.

The hospital was very clear that it was an infusion of Ivermectin, and that the infusion process would take about 1/2 an hour, and that she would have to stay there to be monitored for about another hour. They are the ones that told her the majority of people feel dramatically better the next day.

Well I hope it turns out OK for you Warhorse. I had it a month ago and I’m finally down to no smell/taste and some lethargy. Not tasting or smelling is the worst. Every day my day starts with a disappointing cup of hot water that looks like coffee…

Just when I finally got some small pistol primers I get the rona, I loaded up some ammo and was gonna go USPSA this Sunday, but I can’t do four hours of running around and shooting…

I’m going to say they misspoke or you maybe misheard them. Ivermectin is only available in a 3mg oral tablet, a 1% topical cream and 0.5% topical lotion. Additionally, I doubt a hospital would be administering that for COVID since it’s not an FDA approved use. I’m not saying it isn’t possibly effective, just that the hospital docs won’t be prescribing that for COVID treatment.

Monoclonal antibodies on the other hand, are administered how you’re describing. The ones used to treat COVID are Bamlanivimab plus etesevimab (although I think this one has been paused), Casirivimab plus imdevimab, and sotrovimab.

We used bamlanivimab on our COVID pts earlier this year with great success.

I’m a pharmacist BTW.

Eric,
I talked with my doctor about what I would do if I contracted Covid. He said he would recommend me for the Monoclonal antibodies infusion. There are two sites near us that do it.
I agree that’s probably the treatment Warhorses wife is getting.

I stand corrected gentlemen, when I told my wife about this thread, she said you guys are right, my apologies to all. She is getting Monoclonal antibodies infusion. My stepdaughter was telling her about Ivermectin, and I misunderstood her when she was relaying all this info to me.

No need to apologize at all. I have no doubt you have a few things on your mind at the moment. Please do take care. I hope your wife feels better after the treatment.

No apologies necessary. Good luck to your wife and keep us posted.

Isn’t the feed store stuff either liquid or paste? (I know the wife buys the “apple flavored” paste to worm the horse). Seems like one would have to figure out the appropriate amount of milliliters to get 3 mg of active ingredient. While I’m sure you’re right, finding someone to prescribe (and fill) the pills might be a safer bet.

I posted this a few months ago. I hope this helps. Maybe a vet can reply and let us know their thoughts on this. God Bless !!!

I know this is a dumb question. And not pragmatic since I don’t have supply. But just curious. Would taking ivermectin prophylactically be similar to taking antibiotics prophylactically? Does it lead to drug resistant strains?

Is it better to take it prophylactically or only reactively?
