In their words
- Now: Much better
I have gotten about 70% better while on it, but I'm not sure if it was the LDN or just the passage of time, or diet and stress reduction changes I also made.

Summary
A person with long COVID took low-dose naltrexone, titrating from 1.5 mg to 4.5 mg through a compounding pharmacy, and said they had got better but were not all the way back to normal. By April 2024 they put themselves about 70% better, unsure whether that was the LDN, the passage of time, diet or stress reduction changes. They kept walking throughout, and weight they had gained came back down after about 12 months.
