Summary

Alpine 67356 developed long COVID after a COVID-19 infection in December 2021, with facial swelling, edema in the hips, legs and feet, extreme hair loss and alopecia areata. A probiotic helped brain fog, fatigue and mood but seemed to trigger inflammation. By March 2022 symptoms were widespread and they had upped vitamins and were watching their diet closely, while planning to ask their doctor about prednisone.
