Putrino Lab

With some new followers on board, I wanted to take the time to re-introduce myself to the #LongCovid community (and everyone else). I’m David Putrino: Director of Rehab Innovation at @MountSinaiNYC, Associate Prof at @MountSinaiRehab for @IcahnMountSinai 1/

@TheBenStadler @chydorina @loscharlos We are excited as well! Working as fast as we can!

@PutrinoLab @chydorina @loscharlos Wow, definitely want to hear more about this human mito transplant.

This is the type of treatment advance that gets me super excited. The treatments that are being optimized for other diseases are light years away from what is occurring in the MECFS or LongCovid research communities. I mean seriously, compare this to Putrino's recent announcement. I am not knocking brain based (in-clinic only) therapies, I think they could play an small adjunct role in comprehensive treatment - but the difference between treatments like mitochondrial transplants or Anktiva and what is being tested for MECFS specifically - they are just worlds apart.

Thanks to community support during our family emergency, today was a grateful in-person return to Capitol Hill. As first #LongCOVID org to join Defense Health Research Consortium, @LCCampaign met w/key bipartisan Senate staff to request Long COVID CDMRP funding. #WeCarryEachOther

Here is one of the sharpest minds talking about sequestered infections. Amy Proal, in my observation, carries Polybio on her shoulders and moves Polybio forward with the help of a series of infectious disease researchers. They are headed in a direction towards answers and are in a hurry. Polybio is going to find answers and the sooner the better. Time is short for these Lyme, ME and LC patients. tickbootcamp.com/episode-558-pe… @microbeminded2 @PutrinoLab @MichaelPelusoMD @CFSCentral

It was great to be on the Tick Boot Camp podcast. I talk about Chronic Lyme & Long COVID diagnostics and disease mechanisms, with a focus on the fact that “the issue is in tissue!” Listen here: tickbootcamp.com/episode-558-pe… @TickBootCamp

Vaccines save millions of lives. Unfortunately, a small fraction of people develop debilitating diseases after vaccination. Thank you @WSITYpod for having me on the show to discuss post-vaccination syndrome. Please listen and understand what the patients are going through and why many of them lost trust in the medical and scientific establishment. We must do better.

As part of #LongCovidAwarenessMonth I had the wonderful opportunity to interview @PutrinoLab for The Butterfly Pavilion Podcast. It would be out this week if our producer and prod. engineer weren't so damn slow and mistake prone. I'd fire them but I'd be firing myself. Next week!

⚡️The power of medical education! 30% of clinicians thought Long Covid wasn't real. After 90 mins of @PutrinoLab class 0% thought it wasn't real! 📺️ Full video: On Medical Education 🖇️👇️ #LongCovidAwarenessDay

6 years ago today I went on my last run (pic left) — today I’m 36 and I’ve spent my entire 30’s with #LongCovid struggling to walk up and down the block, or work more than 1-2 hours a day. Heres 4 things I never thought I’d lose at this age:

@TraceyABurgess Apologies for the confusion - it is open to everyone.

@PutrinoLab Went to fill this in & it says it's United States only. "Who can take this survey: people aged 18+ and located in the United States"

Please fill out if you have a chance!

This month's Instagram #AMA with @PutrinoLab will be scheduled a bit later for our followers to the west - 6:30pm Pacific/9:30pm Eastern on Friday, March 20!

@amyboylanwrites @CoRESinai I’m sorry to hear this, we are hustling to handle this situation. We are onboarding 3 more providers as we speak, but training takes some time. Someone will reach out to you Monday to figure out a fast solution to this issue.

@CoRESinai My 10yo is under your care and was about to start their 1st Rx, but now we’re told their NP has left. Will you be replacing them and continuing to treat #LongCovidKids? Are you able to comment please, @PutrinoLab? Managing 504s and school legal demands is scary without an LC doc.

People with #IACCI #LongCOVID #chronicLyme #MECFS symptoms -- please consider filling out this quick (~10 min) form about your experiences accessing medical care! Your answers will be used to improve our clinical practice & medical education at CoRE. redcap.mountsinai.org/redcap/surveys…

⚡️Every Infection Matters⚡️ Here @PutrinoLab talks about the: 🔹impact of each viral hit 🔹how the longevity gurus are missing this key factor 🔹the impact on students in his class Full vid 'On Medical Education' 🖇️ 👇️ #LongCovidAwarenessDay

@surf4children @Suzaku_is_tired @TWestphalia Right back at you, Danilo! Keep pushing your incredible work forward!

@PutrinoLab @Suzaku_is_tired @TWestphalia congrats as always, it is inspiring someone is trying so hard

incredibly exciting news from @PutrinoLab not by chance the best doctor in the field and one of those linked to patients! #longcovid and hopefully we can try it to #mecfs

@surf4children @Suzaku_is_tired @TWestphalia Hi all, we need a larger study (coming), but what was exciting about this study was that not only were improvements sustained in the active group at the 4 week follow-up point (4 weeks after the intervention was stopped), but patients *continued* to improve. Very encouraging.

@Suzaku_is_tired @TWestphalia @PutrinoLab it totally make sense, let’s see the full study results if this was assessed

“I got COVID for a third time in 2025 (I'm vaxed & boosted & took paxlovid)..... Boom #LongCovid. Can't climb due to PEM. I haven't climbed in almost a year.” “No one wants to hear this either but... COVID is still out there. It is not more mild. It is still causing disability.“

@mswalker pathogenesis. Therefore we welcome folks with vaccine injury to fill out the survey. They can check "other" and enter it in manually, as they certainly fit the call from our opinion, but are typically present in smaller numbers than the named IACCIs on the survey. /end

@mswalker vaccine injury at every opportunity that we can. We have previously stated that we view COVID vaccine injury as something that fits under the banner of Infection Associated Chronic Conditions and Illnesses (IACCI) because of the role the spike protein appears to play in the 2/
