Summary
Zephyr 98798, posting in a long-COVID community, described post-viral episodes that had also followed flu in earlier years, with anhedonia and pleasureless orgasms. One acupuncture session cleared these the next day, 'from 0 to 100', and acupuncture remained a major help across several practitioners, with benefits usually arriving a day or two after each session. Daily coconut-oil pulling also helped their oral health.
