Summary
Alpine 63413 developed long COVID, with six weeks of acute illness followed by visual snow, POTS, fatigue, headaches, tingling and breathing problems. A high-B12 multivitamin with folate and manganese was followed by broad improvement within about 11 days. A two-week trip to Japan on simple low-processed food brought them close to 100%, but back in the US they slowly felt worse again.
