Summary
Lynx 72083 had long COVID for about a year and a half, with daily migraine, sporadic hemiplegic migraine, neurological symptoms and POTS. Increasing cymbalta to 60 mg recently gave some relief from the daily neurological symptoms. A COVID reinfection in March 2025 caused no worsening; by April the symptoms were mostly controlled. Metformin was taken for insulin resistance, not long COVID.

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.
