Acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbs have been the things that have helped me the most. They have helped with the exhaustion, racing heart and improved the brain fog. It is not a quick fix so be patient. I usually sleep for nearly a hour once the needles have been placed.
Diet also has helped. Low to normal sugar and little dairy.
Thank you for your input. My ENT therapist suggested trying acupuncture as one of the possible treatments for my voice issue (whispery, raspy, strained). Have had botox injections, however, that has not helped so she is giving some other alternatives. Have had voice issues following having covid-19 vaccine in 2021.
A licensed traditional acupuncturist has the training needed. Sometimes doctors will take a few classes and then offer some treatments but it is not the same. An acupuncturist trained in the Chinese herbs is very important for healing.
Wishing you robust health.

I have been having acupuncture treatment for 2 months. I am a bit skeptical, but am slightly better. I also do physical therapy, so I am not sure which is helping.
Yes !!! I felt so much better after a treatment and have another one scheduled. Master Chen says he’s had to turn people away. My nausea was improved and fatigue greatly improved.
My symptoms are so variable that I can never say for sure what is working and what is not. I started a log to try to make sense of it all and to have quality conversations with medical professionals. That said, for about a month I have had acupuncture on Monday, cranial sacral on Tuesday and on Wednesday my symptoms are very minimal. I have also completely abstained from alcohol. My working theory is zero alcohol = much improved sleep + acupuncture + cranial sacral leads to a great Wednesday. There is an acupuncture prescription for Long COVID that my acupuncturist is following.

Hello, I'm so glad to hear you've had such good outcome from these treatments.
Is there any way I can get a copy of the acupuncture prescription that your acupuncturist is using for Long COVID? Did you have breathing issues? Thank you.

@bba3 my next acupuncture appointment is Monday 8/28 and I will ask the Acupuncturist for the prescription she is using. When I first met her she stated "there is an acupuncture prescription for Long COVID and let's start there".
