I just realized that I never responded to your Comment on 08/11/2024 about using electrolytes to treat LC-based excessive fatigue. So, I just now looked online for medical-science-based opinion on using electrolytes to treat that fatigue.

The advice I found was to simply remain well-hydrated, with plain water — unless medical tests indicate an electrolyte deficiency.

Of course, as with LC symptoms generally, each longhauler may experience fatigue for reasons particular to them, and have their own particular response to electrolyte supplements.

Optimally, one should consult with one’s healthcare professionals about whether or not to use electrolyte supplements, and how much and how often.

I’m optimistic that ongoing LC research will provide better guidance in the future about treating LC symptoms.

Wishing us all steady progress in our recovery from LC !
