I'm 75 at year four as two two year episodes (tested positive at 2 years, so deja vu all over again).

A few months ago I had "moderately severe" colitis, which I think (if I got it right) is an auto-immune like inflammation of the bowel. I took a steroid (Butesonide) which broke the vicious circle of inflammation, where inflammation causes itself. It's now gone. Which makes me wonder, is LC all vicious circle infllammation?

For complex reasons I cannot entirely remember I took Prednasone for a week, at the end of year one. I felt instantly cured. Prednasone is dangerous in the long term use context, so I stopped. And then Long Covid returned. I was still too fuzzy-brained to figure it out then.

Now it increasingly tempting , to conclude LC is an auto-immune inflammation, taking many largely predictable forms: tinnitus, foggy brain, rashes, lethargy, colitis and fatigue, in repeating combinations.

I will now try to find out more about non-steroidal and low-steroidal anti-inflammation, including but not limited to diet.
