Summary
A person with long COVID after a 2023 COVID infection crashed a few weeks later with depression and brain fog. Gabapentin 300 mg in the morning eased their anxiety and made them feel like themselves again; they recovered their joy, though their memory was not the same. A twice-daily colloidal silver nasal mist cleared sinus and runny nose symptoms, with no sinus trouble for two years.
