Summary
Tide 81845 developed long COVID with brain fog, neuro and sinus symptoms, anhedonia and heart rate spikes, and said their brain had not felt clear for more than a year. Montelukast with Allegra seemed to help, and after COVID antivirals their brain felt less foggy than it had in over a year, though they noted this may have been coincidence. A third COVID infection in August 2022 was milder and lifted much of their anhedonia and some neuro symptoms, though they were still sick.

- Allegra · Helped
Just started taking monteleukast and Allegra, and it seems to be helping with brain fog. ... It's really helped my neuro and sinus issues big time!
- COVID antivirals · Helped
This may be a coincidence because I started an anti-histamine protocol about a week before I got COVID, but I felt better very quickly after I started taking my COVID antivirals and my brain hasn't felt this unfoggy for more than a year.

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.
