I’m still recovering. ... Now I’m doing it slow as heck and I’m really feeling a sound movement in the right direction.
Summary
The user was still recovering from long COVID in May 2024, having improved several times and crashed each time by rushing their recovery. An intense nattokinase protocol made a difference, and they kept taking one daily nattokinase pill with 100 mg aspirin, plus 5 mg desloratadine daily since the beginning. Nicotine patches, meditation and yoga nidra helped a lot, and going slowly felt like a real movement in the right direction.
