Summary
A person who had a bad case of long COVID from a March 2020 infection considered themselves recovered, but recently had migraines and brain fog. They traced the flare to Lumify vasoconstrictor eyedrops and felt night-and-day better a week after stopping them. Blood work also showed anemia, which they noted can mimic long COVID fatigue, brain fog and a raised heart rate.
