The article below describes my life now. I used to work a full time job, exercise, walk 3 miles per day and care for my elderly Dad with Alzheimer’s etc…. I feel It might be helpful for people to post ‘specifically’ the supplements they use that actually have made some improvements in THEIR symptoms. I have a whole cabinet dedicated to a bunch of supplements that have NOT made an improvement. I don’t think by any means this is a ‘one size fits all’ situation
I am super overly sensitive to medications so I’ve had to try a lot of different things.
The ones I currently take that I feel could be making a small difference in my life.
SuperLysine
Monolaurin
EPA/DHA
VITAMIN C 500 mg
Vit D3
And a good quality multi vitamin.
I tried the Zyrtec/Famotadine ..still take the Zyrtec because it helps me sleep a bit but after getting some testing done was told that I don’t have a histamine problem.
Keep in mind I also have EBV reactivation with my long Covid, I have been sick since 4/2020 and I’m still debilitated. My most debilitating symptom I must say is fatigue. Dysautonomia, tachycardia, insomnia ….
‘Wired but Tired’ to list a few.
Take a moment to read this… it may or may not describe you. I only wish all the people (left) in my life would take a moment out of their busy, fulfilling lives to read this so that no one else says to me “ Yeah, I’m tired too” before they run off to enjoy their night out with friends.
I wish everyone here the best. I pray that someday soon we’ll all be recovered and living our best lives. Much Love 💗.

Hugs to you all!
What supplements help long haulers— great question…BUT understand that each body/case is unique. Seriously. You may experience swallowing problems— some because they are having excessive mucous, others because they feel like they’ve stopped producing saliva. Both are “throat issues”. So many of us are searching for some/any help, & I get it! Problem is if you take supplements that are not needed or are already being generated by your body in excess, you can aggravate your symptom. (experience speaking…sigh)
I feel like it is so so important to get a lab work up by someone who is legit—know the supplements that match your body’s’ needs. Immunologist or Functional Med doctor.
[By the way? Got Covid 3/20, severe. Of the long haul clinics and specialists I’ve seen, the immunologist has been my answer. It may not be ANYONE else’s, but I’m posting this because it NEVER occurred to me to see one! And I’ve finally— finally— gotten some help. We’ll see what happens…]

Hi.
Your mention of Epstein Barr Virus reactivation got me attention.
I had mononucleosis when I was 15 (I’m 42 now) and am beginning to wonder if this is what is going on with me.
How would one be able to find out out for sure if that’s the case? What blood test should I ask to be done specifically?
