Summary
Gull 24125 caught COVID in January 2021 and again in January 2022. Heart palpitations and constant tinnitus in the left ear followed the second infection; gut problems began after the first as reflux, then became indigestion and soft stool. The palpitations settled within a month and the tinnitus became intermittent, but gut issues persisted for over two years. Pantoprazole relieved the reflux, raw ginger gave quick partial relief and psilocybin microdoses helped brain fog and old anxiety.

Their words about each treatment
- pantoprazole · Helped
I was told possible GERD and prescribed pantoprazole for only 30 days. I have luckily had relief from that ever since.

I have famotidine at home right now and was using it once a day for about a week with no results.
In context ↗ - raw ginger · Helped
The ONLY relief I have found the for GI issues is supplemental raw ginger.
In context ↗ - psilocybin · Helped a lot
I cannot suggest enough a micro dose schedule of psilocybin.

THC still does give me the same high as I had before LC.
