Long COVID exists for 5+ years: Share what has or not worked for you

Posted by chuckstran @chuckstran, Oct 6, 2025

It is out of my skepticism and disillusioment that I have pro-actively sought the truth, and found much of it elsewhere than in conventional medicine's approach to dealing with my own long COVID.

That's what led me to this board, where I have learned much and have contributed what I can.

The medical community has been dealing with long COVID for five long years.

Isn't that long enough for treating brain fog and post-exertion fatigue with amped-up doses of creatine and L-glutamie to become widespread?

Isn't that long enough for using NAC, guiafeninsen, and/or mullien to combat the respiratory effects of long COVID to become widespread?

Are we left to trust our altruistic philathropic benefactors, such as Bill Gates, to back away from his moneychanging tables at Moderna and let us in on what is readily at hand that works? Or do big pharma, in league with power politics, have too big a grip on our healthcare?

My personal care physician is a good man, a good doc, and is doing the best he can. But even he and those like him have a big patch of tall weeds to find their way through, in searching for the truth which they in turn attempt to deliver to us. And he and others like him, along with some of us, have reason for our skepticism.

But in our skepticism we must press on, encourage one another, share what works and what doesn't, verify what is successful - and then trust.

Be strong, and of good courage. God has not forgotten us. Trust Him, hope in Him, and press on.

@drbf no taste/ smell almost 5 years now. I can do salty, sweet, spicy, sour but I don’t know what it is I am eating. It’s very depressing. Also, brain fog, forget easily, and first lost a lot of weight and in the past year started gaining even with good diet and exercise. Saw PCP, ENT, Neurologist and no help.

Believing it was LC and finding out it was Mold Illness triggered by the Covid vaccine.

@arichards3 2 months since this post and 4 months since beginning treatment, my health is returning and I can see the light at the end of a 4-1/2 year long tunnel. Wonderful to feel good again!

Long-COVID contracted in May of 2023. Remaining symptoms: need 10 to 12 hrs sleep/night, still very little sense of smell or taste. At age 85, I'm glad I don't have to work.
