Summary
Ocean 26298 developed long COVID after COVID-19 in April 2022, with nerve pain, migraines and joint and muscle pain. By August 2022 the nerve pain was still present but manageable on daily pregabalin (Lyrica), and massage and acupuncture helped during nerve pain flares. Weed never helped and made the pain feel worse, so they tapered off nightly use. Topicals helped their migraines and muscle pain.
