I too am surprised Dr. Patterson is using LPN. He had some other way to diagnose Long COVID and also to treat it. I have been dealing with Long COVID for 5 years now and have gone to many doctors and read many research reports on this disease, but still have no balance and am dizzy all the time. But, I keep looking for a cure. No one has one yet. I just returned from an appointment with my original neurologist a few minutes ago. Now, he thinks I might have 3PD, which is an abstract problem with no treatment. I used physical therapy for years to no avail. But, I am not ready to give up.

@stuartkjones4 I had tried LDN after my Mayo Rochester visit in September 2023 along with Cymbalta to no affect. As for Dr. Patterson's team, Dr. Bream is using it in an attempt to solve one of my symptoms which I find incredibly hard to describe that I refer to as a 'head sensation' that just wrecks me mentally and physically for hours of the day. Its occurrence is highly variable, sometimes hitting me right out of bed, sometimes later in the morning, again lasting for hours. The only thing that stops it is a Power Nap or alcohol. Thus, naltrexone, starting at 1.5, now at 4.5. Dr. Bream said that in the cases where naltrexone helps, for many people that. occurs at 2.5. It is far too early to tell, but after my second dose at 4.5 my head sensation occurrence is zero. But, I am also tapering off Maraviroc at the same time so its possible it's the result of one or the other or both. A bit of a mystery to us all unfortunately.
