Summary
A person with long COVID said pain was one of their worst symptoms and that 30 mg daily Cymbalta helped dramatically almost immediately. They also took LDN but, after a long time on it, were unsure whether it helped. In February 2025 they reported a huge relapse after major surgery and said they were still on a higher dose of it.
