Summary
After a severe Covid infection in November 2020 left him hospitalised for a few days, he had constant breathing problems, chest tightness and a racing heart for over a year. A two-day course of ivermectin, 45 mg daily, left him 95% better, with his lungs feeling better than in over a year. His second Moderna dose had made him significantly worse with a racing heart. A later post described severe muscle and joint pain from Wellbutrin.
