Summary
After about three years of long COVID and trial-and-error treatment, they reported that a supplement regimen including fisetin, spermidine, cranberry extract, nattokinase, probiotics and psyllium husk left most symptoms basically gone. Brain fog, weakness, light and heat sensitivity, head rushes and inability to exercise improved, though some constipation remained. They had spent thousands on supplements.
