Summary
Maple 20539 has had long covid for about four years as of February 2025, and supplements did not work. A stroke in Cuba in November 2022 caused right-side numbness and aphasia; the numbness improved after about three months, and they were off work until August 2024. They returned to work then, went off again in June 2025, and by October 2025 were walking, working and driving. Brain fog, insomnia, headaches, gut problems and tinnitus remained, and by December 2025 the brain fog was severe and they felt nothing helped.
