Anyone think that it’s no longer long Covid? just permanent damage?

What non prescription supplements or vitamins have you found helpful? I have been dealing with brain fog, elevated heart rate with minimal activity. I am now having some inflammatory eye problems and wonder if the increase in inflammation is connected to Covid.I think many doctors I see discount the effects of Covid and prefer to think it is my age(71). I had Covid twice both what I guess would be considered mild cases. I am fully vaccinated and boosted . I was able to get Paxlovid when I had Covid the second time. It greatly reduced the acute symptoms.

I’d also like to know if any reputable group has some data-based recommendations. I find it impossible to navigate all the herbs, extracts, vitamins, supplants, roots, oils, etc. that’s before even getting into doses and what conditions all this stuff works with. I believe there is valid restorative power in eastern medicine. I just don’t know what to do with it. No offense, but sometimes the messenger of the recommendations are a bit eccentric. I don’t know what to believe or how it interacts with the medicine my neurologists recommend. Any good, reputable resources out there who isn’t peddling snake oil?

I believed Covid increases inflammation for certain people - I am one of them due to pre-existing autoimmune issues. I had the brain fog for months - it got better. My heart rate stayed elevated for quite a while (in the 130's) with minimal activity. I saw a cardiologist and had an echo stress test done to make sure I did not have heart damage from Covid. My heart rate finally came down and is now back in the 60's. The high heart rate made me feel anxious as I felt it first thing upon waking in the morning. Sometimes with Covid, I think the symptoms simply have to wear themselves out. It takes time and a lot of patience. I hope yours is relieved soon. God Bless!
