Newest and best long covid recovery treatments?

Best of luck. Would love to know how it goes. I too have terrible fibromyalgia.
(ME). I also have fatigue that unbelievably. I have to use a walking device and can only go 30 feet or so and have to sit. My heart rate goes high and I can’t breathe but my oxygen doesn’t drop much. I stay about 95-96. The following day I am in bed all day. Sometimes 2 or 2 days depending on how long I stay out. I also have two knees that need to be replaced, spine damages that need surgery and two hips with bursitis. I swell now into my neck. They won’t operate until I loose weight. I have gained 140 lbs from LC damages. I hate this mess.

These articles were beneficial to me. At least understanding it is not just me. See what you all think.

I think my breathing is too. Hi, I am Kelly. I’ve been suffering since 2020 but more early 2021. Two bad cases of Covid. Diagnosed Long Covid 2021. My breathing mainly gets bad with short bits of movement which makes my heart rate increase.

Snap 2 minutes trying to make a cheese sauce from scratch at the stove standing up and I’m doubled up breathing like I’ve down a 4 minute mile! Today was the smallest things that made me feel so useless and old most of the day just visiting family with 5 month old grandchild!

I take low-dose naltrexone (current dosage is 2 mg/day), and I have found it to be very effective for the muscle aches and pains that I was having. It certainly isn’t a cure and doesn’t help with my fatigue or post-exertional malaise, but I am better with it than I was without it.

I understand. I’m 56 and was extremely active prior. We just moved my mother-in-law to be in a year ago and I can’t even help her like I should, cause I’m worse than she is at 80. I take 17 medications. It’s devastating to say the least. I can see my husband to be is just over waiting on me. He doesn’t understand the true nature of the situation, though he says he does. It is a disability!!! It’s actually like 5 disabilities in 1. I really think someone should be responsible for all who suffer. I still am not sure of the truth of how this nasty infectious disease started???? Would love input on that as well.

Hi Athena,

My LC Dr. wanted me to try this and I was reluctant. I read that it was used to treat alcoholism? Also, it had a pretty large co-pay and comes from a specialty drug provider. Co-pay was like $160. Right now I’m fighting SSD and can’t work. I just started Cymbalta. It helps a bit on nuero pain, but like yourself, nothing else.
