When to accept permanent long covid?

You might want to discuss taking modafinil (Provigil) with your medical provider. My daughter is on a dose lower than the smallest tablet made, so be willing to experiment with a small dosage if a more standard dose isn't tolerated. I found I had too many uncomfortable side effects of jitteriness, hyper alertness, etc. , so it didn't help me even at a very low dose. You might want to start with a dose as low as 25 mg/day, but by all means do this under the supervision of your medical provider.

Okay thank you for getting back to me.

I actually started a new subject about this approach:

I actually did send a message to my PA about that drug, in particular, plus mentioned the ADHD CNS stimulants. I have to wait a month to physically visit my PCP since these are all controlled substances, so they have to tread a bit carefully.
That's interesting and valuable information you've provided here; I suspect I'll prove to be "sensitive" to its effects (despite, surprisingly, not responding to nicotine gum much at all when I tried that), too.
"Hyper alertness", LOL, that makes me feel jealous...
