Summary
Dove 23739 has had long COVID since late 2022, with muscle atrophy in the calf and foot, twitching and tingling, visual snow, tinnitus and aching joints, though nothing debilitating. Vitamin D with omega-3, lion's mane, collagen and an antihistamine were credited with cutting most of the twitching; the atrophy did not improve. By August 2025 there was no real change or progression.
