I have long Covid (into my 5th week now), and I wanted to see if I could learn from the experiences of others here. I was not well before I got Covid. No CFS diagnosis, but definitely fit the profile. Also important possibly: this is my second time with Covid. The first time was somewhat mild. I took two days worth of Ivermectin that time, so that could have helped some. But I could not continue with it as it gave me serious side effects. This one has been much worse than the last time I had it.
My biggest problem is that the infection seems to have attacked my brain and nervous system. I have severe anxiety, insomnia, tachycardia, brain fog, muscle jerks, air hunger, and pain. Almost anything I take to try to treat it actually makes me worse because the anxiety and insomnia become unbearable. The only supplements I've been able to hang on to are vitamin C, magnesium, calcium d-glucarate, quercetin, and an herbal lung support formula. But anything that aggressively goes after the virus such as black seed oil or olive leaf extract will make the neurological symptoms much worse. Early on I tried azythromycin and that sent me into a tailspin.
I bought some vitamin B1 and some niacin in hopes those will be tolerable and help me to make some headway against this thing, but I don't have very high hopes that I will be able to take them.
