Summary
Otter 45705 has long COVID with POTS-like symptoms, skipped beats and a heavy heartbeat that was worse lying down; by May 2024 the skipped beats were easing. By February 2025 they had been on low-dose naltrexone for two weeks, starting at 0.75 mg and later 1.5 mg, and felt it was helping. By July 2025 symptoms were a little better but still present, and they were unsure whether LDN or time deserved the credit; compression socks gave no benefit.

I tried compression socks but didn’t notice benefits so didn’t keep up.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
