Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID said in January 2023 that drinking Drip Drop daily for about a year really helped their long haul and stopped muscle pain in their legs. After a third infection around April 2023 they had shortness of breath and could not sleep more than two hours at a time, waking gasping, with overnight blood oxygen dropping to the 80s and 70s. Antihistamine sleep medication helped. They said all their symptoms had worsened.
