Summary
After a COVID infection in 2022, a bike ride a few weeks later left them unwell and they said they had not been the same since. They reported histamine intolerance, helped by bacillus Coagulans and Pepcid AC. By late 2025 they credited ivabradine, LDN, taurine, nicotine patches, binaural beats, radical rest and somatic therapy, plus time, with moving the needle most. How limited they were was not described.
