Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID said seven sessions with an experienced practitioner in 2021 gave no help with any symptoms. By August 2023, after about six months on LDN plus full-body red light therapy, they reported improved long COVID symptoms including pain and aches. They also credited turmeric, intermittent fasting, exercise and sunlight, and later reported better sleep and less pain. No onset date or severity level was given.
