Thankyou so much for responding!That is wonderful that it is helping and you are finally feeling better.I am desperate at this point and trying to see if anything would help.My whole body was attacked and the muscle weakness is getting worse.I try to explain to the doctors that I have lost the strength in my diaphram/sternum area that normally pushes the belly down and they just don't understand.I also have heart issues along with my other physical symptoms.I notice that if I hear a loud noise or anything like that my heart goes crazy.Almost like it can't handle it.I never had an issue like that until this illness came on.I really believe it is the vagus nerve damage that was probably brought on from covid.I have tried tens machines,PT,chiropractor,acupuncturist,but nothing has helped.

Hi
Short answer: the Mestinon was a miracle for me. I started low last summer- 8 mo ago. I now take 60 am and 30 pm with no side effects.
I had a flare last month after a family crisis and added Nicotine patch 7 mg.

I am 18 mo with Long Covid. Like others I’ve tried PT, supplements, acupuncture , etc.
