For long term covid: take 500 mg of lysine twice a day PLUS 12.5 mg iodine (Ioderol brand) once a day. When you feel better, take the lysine/iodine combo for three more weeks to put the virus in remission. Also buy some Vicks vapo rub and occasionally sniff/it smell for a couple of seconds several times a day in hope that the smell receptors welcome back This may take a couple of months. Been there, done that. Susan

Thank you Susan! I read about this L-Lysine and I have it in my multi vitamin that I take twice daily. It only amounts to 400 mg. Is that enough or should I take an extra 100 mg. I don’t to the Vicks, but try to smell other things daily and still all I can get most mornings is a whiff or 2 of my coffee grounds. I taste nothing. Thanks for the suggestions. It is appreciated.

I am curious about the Lysine and Iodine mix. I have had LC for 3 years. Did you have it and was this what helped? I am going to do some research on these. I am always looking for relief from this. Thank you.
To the person that started this thread, hang in there. All we have is today. I have many symptoms from Long COVID that have been debilitating as well. Tinnitus, chronic fatigue, post-exertion malaise, loss of smell in the mornings, and many other symptoms of other auto immune diseases. I make myself get up each day and tell myself that all I have to do is today. I also started taking medication for depression (which I did not want to do as I have been on them before) but I had to get out of the hopeless hole. Please do not give up. Take it one day at a time. That is all any of us have.
