Summary
Dove 36637 wrote in a long COVID forum in April 2022 that they had long COVID, which they had not told their neurologist about. They also had epilepsy and worked out themselves that hormonal birth control calmed their seizures, after doctors repeatedly attributed their symptoms to anxiety. Later that month they reported that a hypochlorous acid spray they used for acne and styes was easing crepey skin on their neck.

What they tried
Their words about each treatment
- birth control · Helped
I eventually had to problem solve my own seizures and go to my regular doc to request birth control to get my seizures to chill. Turns out... not anxiety. Just hormones.
In context ↗ - hypochlorous acid spray · Helped
I use hypochlorous acid spray on my face for acne and styes and noticed that it was helping with the crepey skin on my neck.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
