Low dose naltrexone for Post-Covid Recovery experiences?

One of my worse symptoms is a strange head sensation also. I call it zombie brain because it’s not brain fog in the traditional sense. It’s pressure, fogginess, like I’m walking around in a cloud, dissociation. Is this description at all similar to your head sensation? I’ve been diagnosed with LC, but I don’t see this particular symptom being mentioned at all so I’ve always felt like an outlier in terms of the standard symptoms like CFS, PEM and POTS, which I have none of them. I’ve been told by some doctors that it’s some kind of silent migraine but none of the migraine meds helped. Just wondering.

@lkoch. I’ve also read about silent migraines and the definition doesn’t fit me either. Mine creates a temporary malaise and most of the time a Power Nap will chase it away. It occurs anywhere from right out of bed to lunch. A few lucky days not at all. All the medical professionals pretty much respond with a nod and “that’s interesting”. Dr Bream with Dr Patterson’s team is helping me address it with the naltrexone. He does suspect GABA inhibition because alcohol and antibiotics put symptoms at bay. Not much help from me I’m afraid. Naps and alcohol the temporary cure!

My low dose naltrexone dosage is up to 9mg per day now. I would say that I feel stronger. But, my main symptom is dizziness/balance and I really cant walk well. I use a walker to keep from falling, or at least feel like I am going to fall. That has not improved at all. I'm not sure about the brain sensation you described. I have had it so long that I don't know what is normal and what is a symptom. But, I am just thankful for any improvement, no matter what. At least now I can get up out of a chair well.
