Summary
Falcon 68122 dates his long COVID to a vaccination and says he was bed bound for two years. He reported stomach ulcers, Barrett's oesophagus and burning feet. Antibiotics gave a few days' relief before symptoms returned worse; glutathione did nothing, resveratrol helped a little, candesartan helped a bit, and Zyrtec and iron made him feel worse.
