@bluesky6321 I have also found Guanfacine and NAC helpful. Also cut all gluten and inflammatory foods.

I was able to find a physical therapist that specializes specifically in Long COVID and she was very helpful in teaching me how to stay in energy envelope (though still not perfect with that).

@thedreamingtree I'm so glad a physical therapist helped! My doctor recommended a speech therapist, and she has been the most helpful for me over the past year even though she didn't really have experience with long covid. I've been following a modified concussion protocol to help with brain fog and fatigue (including rest breaks, modifying activities to deal with cognitive and physical fatigue, and helping figure out triggers and patterns of symptoms).

If someone can't find a healthcare professional familiar with long covid, maybe asking about similar established protocols like concussion protocols can help. A year ago I wouldn't have been able to write these comments because of the brain fog, so it has definitely helped.
