Summary
A 38-year-old woman developed long COVID after an infection in August 2021, with brain fog, fatigue and food intolerances. She cut out tomatoes and dairy and started lion's mane, noticing improvement after about a month and crediting the diet and the supplement with helping her. By June 2022, nearly four months into lion's mane, she still had brain fog and bad days, and a restaurant meal caused a flare-up.
