Summary
Long COVID after a COVID infection brought severe nerve pain, internal tremors, spasms, headaches, fatigue and hair loss; at worst pain made talking difficult. Neurofeedback, started after a couple of years of LC, cut a pain peak from 10 to 7; after a break, returning brought a worsening within 24 hours, then more sessions helped. Quitting smoking worsened things at first, then supplements, bloodwork and an anti-inflammatory diet helped, and beta blockers cut tremors by 80%.
