Summary
Alpine 84606 had long COVID for almost a year, with daily morning flares of extreme nausea, fatigue, heart racing, brain fog and numbness lasting 2–3 hours. Lexapro 15 mg did little until about four months in, when they felt more optimistic and clear-headed. A few mornings were nearly normal after high-dose vitamin D3/K2, magnesium and Triphala with activated charcoal, but nausea remained daily and the high dose upset their stomach.
