Summary
COVID-19 in September 2021 led to hospitalisation on oxygen and a pulmonary embolism. Six months later most long COVID symptoms remained — internal vibrations, tremors, POTS, burning feet, head and ear pressure and tingling — though they did not think they had PEM beyond the initial infection. Apixaban taken for 90 days had no clear effect, B. subtilis improved gut symptoms and bromelain did nothing noticeable.
