Summary

Breeze 25466 has had long COVID for over three years, with shortness of breath as the main symptom and regular chest tightness. They tried many treatments without benefit, including nicotine, ivermectin, hyperbaric oxygen and a month of tirzepatide, which caused 10 lb weight loss but no symptom change. They say their only improvement came with time, and they are not recovered; GABA and L-theanine eased a yawning symptom.
