Long Covid and Doxycycline: Inflammation Theory
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: 23 hours ago | Replies (26)Comment receiving replies
There's been a study (I read about it in Scientific American) of people on injectable weight loss drugs that found that they act as anti-inflammatories as well, causing significant improvements in things like IBS, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. I've got all three since Covid, so I'm in the process of getting my HMO to approve me for a weight loss drug, technically for weight loss but honestly my weight is not the reason I'm trying it!

It is Metformin that has shown potential with a healthier outcome with Covid 19 treatments.

I get it! There are so many drugs that can help with inflammation internally that we still cannot grasp which works and which doesn't. I know when I had the terrible case of COVID and Pneumonia last November, I was immediately given a prescription of Doxycycline AND Zithromycin. The Zithromycin was for the pneumonia, and it cleared it right up. Doxycycline was given to me first before I tested positive for COVID. I did some digging and found that it is a good anti inflammatory drug even though not given out often. Then the long COVID hit with the heart palpitations and chronic fatigue. So far, I am far less fatigued since I started taking Doxy. The heart palpitations have improved but are still there somewhat. I decided to take it for ten days. I felt better after the second day and counted day three as the day of success. I did this after much research and also because I receive Doxy if I get a tick bite because I had Lyme Disease. I wish you much success with your HMO! Keep in touch!!
