Long Covid: TWO YEARS NOW.

I am five years into Long Covid and feeling better due to low dose naltrexone. When I eat no sugar, I am almost pain free the next day, fatigue is cut in half, I can walk half a mile each day and my palpitations stop. I still have to watch my energy use or will crash when I expend too much. I am 8 months into the naltrexone and it is a life changer…

You have to start at a low dose of .5 or 1.5 mg per day. Then you titrate up every few weeks with a goal of 4.5 mg. People do well at different doses so you have to find the dose for your body..,rule of thumb is if you increase the dose and feel worse, drop back to the prior dose for a few weeks and then try increasing again. I tried moving from 3 to 4.5 mg several times and when I was able to, it finally made me feel better than I have post covid.

I have my naltrexone formulated at a compounding pharmacy in a liquid so it was easier to increase the dose. It costs about $40 per month and it not covered by insurance. It is the best money I spend for the return it gives me.

Thank you so much for this information!! I will definitely try it! No sugar helps with all my hurts and you might try this for inflammation...was told by an India person and it has helped too! 1 tsp ground ginger, juice from 1/2 a fresh lemon, squirt of honey in a glass of water every morning. My stomach would not handle the ginger so I now add it to my smoothie. I am now going to follow up on your suggestion! Thank you again...
