Summary
A Reddit user in r/covidlonghaulers started 7.5 mg patches, a dose taken from a research article, and on day two reported that their breathing and tight chest had improved substantially. They said it was still too early to judge cognition or brain fog, and they had not yet tested whether post-exertional malaise had changed.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
