In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I did everything “right” and I am still longhauling.
In context ↗ - At worst: Moderate
On days when I can’t get out of bed, there are some nice “chair tai chi” programs that you can do from a sitting position.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
I still have other lingering symptoms, so it did not completely cure me. But, it eliminated the two symptoms that were the most difficult for me to live with.
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
I was infected in December 2021

Summary
In December 2021 they caught COVID, spent ten days largely in bed, then developed long COVID with brain fog, headaches, numbness and tingling and pneumonia-like lung symptoms. They credit IV ozone therapy with clearing their lungs and easing their brain fog after three treatments. They also took supplements, herbal teas, a vagus nerve stimulator and tai chi, and later cut back supplements that seemed to make them worse.

Lions Mane, NAC, iodine, vitamin d, vitamin c, zinc, niacin, and melatonin along with some herbal tea concoctions have helped with my brain fog.

I also got prescribed a medical device called a Gamma Core. It’s a vagus nerve stimulator and it helps with headaches and has significantly reduced numbness and tingling.

I’ve also started doing beginners tai chi (I just follow tutorials on YouTube)- it’s not energy intensive and I think it’s helping with my lungs.
In context ↗ - iv-based ozone therapy · Helped a lot
Ozone therapy (iv-based) is the only thing that cleared my lungs after 4 months of pneumonia-like symptoms post-covid. In my case, it also helped with brain fog.
In context ↗ - antibiotics · Not said
I get these after I finish a round of antibiotics.
In context ↗ - a large variety of supplements · Worse
I also took a large variety of supplements, and I started to feel even worse. I eventually realized that some of the supplements were severely depleting other nutrients
