Summary
A man in Istanbul reported right arm tremors that worsened after his first and second COVID vaccine doses in June 2021, followed by two years of repeated infections, low electrolytes and heat intolerance. He credited zinc and copper with restoring his immune system and DLPA with easing breathlessness, and by 2025 could walk 17km a day on holiday. He said he had not fully recovered, with right arm tremor remaining, and that magnesium helped him for a while before he got worse again.
