Summary
A Reddit user who had COVID-19 in March 2020 developed long COVID from July 2020, with POTS, MCAS, gut issues and air hunger. In late November 2021 they began Vedicinals 9. By day 29 of the 42-day course they reported less bloating and air hunger, feeling more oxygenated, less dizziness on standing, and had started 5-10 minutes of recumbent exercise, though POTS remained. A COVID reinfection during the course caused a small worsening.
