Summary
Pond 94727 has had long COVID for about three years and has been on oxygen since the infection. A first round of MHPV in January 2026 took about 25 days and doxycycline to clear; a second round in March, which they thought was bronchitis, was treated with clarithromycin and prednisone. Major anxiety and panic attacks made appointments hard and waiting caused crashes. By May 2026 VR Beat Saber was helping them a lot.
