Summary
Grove 73602 had mild long COVID, still able to work but with much less energy and interest in other activities, and had trouble sleeping eight hours. During a two-week ivermectin course (24 mg daily for a week, then 12 mg daily for a week), they reported being 100% back to normal and still well a month later, though they called it possibly coincidence or placebo. They also used an infrared sauna every other day for 18 months and took lorazepam nightly for sleep.

- IR sauna · Helped
I have found success myself with the two weeks of 24 mg of ivermectin one week of 12 mg and I've been on an IR sauna every other day more or less for the last year and a half.
In context ↗ - ivermectin · Helped a lot
coincidence or not I seem to be 100% back to normal. i did 3 mg per kilo body weight which is 24 mg for me for 7 days and I'm finishing off another 7 Days of 12 mg per day.
In context ↗ - lorazepam · Helped
I take .5mg of lorazepam (1/4 of 2mg tablet) every night for quite some time now. I have a hard time sleeping and getting 8 hours. even with just that little bit it works wonders and I feel no side effects
