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.

I have had ulcerative colitis for > 50 years. It is an auto immune disease. I am 78. Since COVID, I have found And lost other auto-immune diseases: rashes, itching, bronchiectasis,
recurrence of acute ulcerative colitis after years of remission, loss of control of Thyroid
disease. Absolutely find an excellent Pulmonologist. That has helped me. As far as the myriad of Long Covid sequella, you need to address them as they occur. COVID definitely attacks our
immune system in a horrible way that other infections appear not to. Keep on trying and get your health team to talk to each other. When friends And family encourage exercise, I say,
"Why don't you go for a run And let me know how it goes." Some days the laundry is my aerobic
work out. It's hard to not give in to despair and guilt over your inability to function as you once did. I wish you well on your new journey to better health

Anti Inflammation:
steroids (many have side effects, which can be sever)
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (apirin, Aleve, etc)
food
avacados? it is a rumor anyway
avoid sugar (including refined wheat products and potoatoes, which digest quickly, to sugar)
I got it from the horse's mouth yesterday (a Doctor: reduce sugar intake. Dramatically. Drastically.
