Has anyone tried at-home vagus nerve stimulators for Long COVID?

For your specific symptoms, have you tried low-dose naltrexone? I have been on it for eight months now and it has taken care of most of my shortness of breath, body aches and pains from the constant chronic inflammation are almost completely gone unless I eat something my post covid body is now allergic to and fatigue is about 50% better. You do have to try trade up slowly and there are some initial side effects but they are pretty well gone in about two weeks.

I tried LDN c.6 years ago, before I got LC, and was probably still taking it into LC since I had numerous chronic diseases then said to benefit from it, including fibromyalgia but though I slowly titrated to full dose didn’t obviously get any better. I might well give it another go! I have tried to do a one drug/ supplement change at a time … it’s so slow going it’s quite easy to spend 2 years getting back to where you were, as I am with antihypertensives… I have to try to think which drug is responsible for making me more breathless, reduces BP but increases HR, and which is preferable as my medics not very concerned ( in Uk)…

Tried LDN but nausea and extreme stomach pain even with low dose of LDN. Switched to VNS ( Vagal nerve stimulation) worked great
