Post-COVID Recovery is a Paradox

I'm trying to assemble relevant scientific articles from respected sources as support for asking our primary physician for a prescription for LDN. Cognitive issues [memory and word finding], balance, and fatigue are my husband's primary issues.
I'd like your references to research at Mayo and Stanford. In exchange I'd call your attention to an article in Scientific American which I have missed anyone already posting about. It does not specifically mention LDN but it presented a comprehensive look at symptoms and proposed mechanisms for Long Covid.

I am not the poster requested to post but find this source has much specific to the LDN, the Research and HOW and WHO to obtain from : LDNScience.org/research

Hello, I also found this article while researching long covid symptoms. It made perfect sense to me, but I never shared with my doctor as I don’t believe it is research based but anecdotal in nature. Lots of info but no scientific data to support it’s suppositions. The NIH has performed some short term data driven research articles but subjects were low in number. There are probably thousands and thousands of people with long covid so studies with 12 subjects us just lazy research! Long covid research in baby stages, so much more research needed

Read - and see it is linked to the study I had also mentioned of Fred Hutchinson in Seattle and mentioning IL-6 (Interleukin 6) 'Markers' for testing beyond the 'usual blood tests' we all get all the time. AND - after reading this one posted from Scientific American - man... it sounds soooo right and after many months of research and getting to know and understand my own 'Holistic Symtoms' specifically realizing after months that not just my 'neck lymph nodes' but also my groin and knee region lymph nodes were 'inflaming' in a continuous 'cycle' on a 'sine wave' that I THOUGHT was ONLY under my jaw ( took me months to figure out the 'knee pain when kneeling' and 'discomfort when sitting due testicles being displace/pushed out') was due 'lymphatic system' which = 'Immune System' = which actually also extends into brain which of course I couldn't simply observe like, 'the inflammation under my jaw', but nonetheless seems to all be related. Head-to-Toe lymphatic system inflammation. The article pretty much sums up 'all I've been suspecting' in terms beyond my capacity to communicate and education to understand - yet - kind of 'intuit' to a large extent after 'synthesizing all of it' over time with research and getting to better understand my body/symptoms/experimentation and interpolating/deducing some of the invisible (e.g., brainfog/lymphnode linkage). Apology for the long-winded run-on... but details and specifics matter so much and particularly applicable in this highly complex issue and environment. This article captures best 'what I believe applies to me'.
