Summary
Developed long COVID after a COVID infection, with intense fatigue while caring for small children and no chance to rest. Low-dose naltrexone lifted their brain fog almost immediately and helped dry eyes and nose, and bupropion (Wellbutrin) cut their constant anger and irritability by about half. By January 2026 they were roughly 70% of their previous normal, and by June 2026, five years in, they felt somewhat normal. Flu type A did not set them back.
