Long COVID: What helps other than rest and more rest?

From my research, it seems 20% of people get long covid symptoms after exposure ie: getting vaccinated or from having it. After I had it in October, panic attacks, vertigo, anxiety, body numbness, exercise intolerance, shaking episodes, and sleep apnea worsened. I was put on Celexa just to function, it was hell for a while as I am in college full time (I am 42). It seems the viral load causes inflammation throughout the body that causes the symptoms and oxygen depletion. Anything you can do to reduce inflammation will help like eating clean, getting out in sunshine, deep breathing to oxygenate your body, drinking filtered water, and incorporating an anti inflammatory herbs and spices. Panera has a new Thai Chicken Soup that is full of these good things and seemed to give me temporary relief my symptoms yesterday.

I had Covid in November. A mild case at that. Then April my right foot started slipping and I couldn’t walk right. Week later I started having numbness in my right lip and right side of face. Long story short I now have numbnes in my arms, legs and entire face that comes and goes. My walk is better but still off. I’ve had two MRI. three CT tons of blood work and everything is normal. The fatigue is horrible. Can’t make it through the day without napping. Some days can’t even make it to work. Neurologist says it’s not long Covid. My reg Dr thinks it is. So far you are the only one I’ve found that also is experiencing numbness. Does your come and go and does it just happen in certain areas? I use to work out and walk every day. Now I can barely get through 20 minutes of yoga.
