Summary
From February 2024 they described neurological long-COVID symptoms: poor cognition and memory, sleep problems, neuropathy, anxiety, palpitations and a boat-like swaying. They credited benfotiamine 300 mg daily plus B9, B12 and other nerve-repair nutrients with relieving most within about two weeks; they also listed B1, iron, vitamin D and electrolytes. In March 2025 they called themselves a recovered long hauler; in August 2025 they said B12-deficiency nerve damage was still reversing.
