Hi @denny58. 67 years old also and have been dealing with Long COVID symptoms like yours since 2022. Was working full time until 2023 when forced to retire. I have sensitivity to screens, light in general, sounds, smells and struggle with chronic fatigue and brain fog. I have tried conventional and non conventional medications/supplements/treatments. I am better..But…still struggling with all the above. Currently I take a list of supplements ( will be glad to provide if you want) accupuncture weekly, massage therapy, weekly IV’s electrolytes & Ozone. I pace myself, limit conversation & chores which is hardest when I “feel good” because afterwards I crash to bed. I am involved in a Support group and talk therapy which helps me to be with others who are navigating this illness. I am a RN so have researched, been involved in 6 studies and continue to seek ideas. The hardest part? Some of my family & friends do not understand & cannot sympathize. I have explained and don’t waste my energy anymore. Sometimes I tell them/encourage them to look it up and learn about this debilitating condition that is affecting millions around the world. I wish you continued healing and peace in your life💖

@ncnurse1
Im in the same situation, I got worse after gallbladder removal. I feel very isolated and lost most of my friends.
I would like to know what supplements you take. Im on a boatload. Is there a private way to share telephone #s.
Wish you the best. 🙏

@ncnurse1 Thank you for sharing your health journey with this. I agree in that some family and friends don't understand but I sure appreciate those that do. when feeling well, I try to attend bone builders 1-2x week, swim laps 2-3x week or walk. I agree that on those "feeling good" days, its hard not to play catch up with exercise and household tasks, then suffer the next day or two. I try get a deep tissue massage 1x month. My nurse practitioner relayed information she read about Nicotine patches being explored as a potential treatment for long Covid, particularly brain fog and fatigue Apparently, some have reported improvement but this approach is still considered experimental and should be approached with caution. I think I may try this and will report back if this helped me.
