Summary
A long COVID patient who had muscle tremors and twitching for about two to two and a half years. They said the most helpful things for the twitching were periodically eating a low-carb/carnivore diet, gentle gradual strength training and time. Two COVID reinfections caused anxiety and panic but no worsening of symptoms. A raised ANA settled slowly over a long time but was still not at zero.
