LDN is low dose naltrexone. My primary care physician in NYC called the prescription to Mayo Clinic pharmacy for me. It’s is an opioid antagonist used to treat opioid addictions. It appears to have an anti inflammatory effect when used at 1/10 th of the standard dose . You start at 1.5 mg for two weeks, then 4 mg for 2 weeks then the standard dose is 4.5 mg once daily. One of the mechanisms of long Covid is chronic inflammation. Other mechanism may include micro blood clots. mitochondrial oxidation issues and classic autoimmunity. An immunologist yesterday advised me to consider Paxlovid, aspirin, statin and prednisone 5 mg daily .

Thank you! I just messaged my doctors about this finding. Everyone I have seen has sort of thrown their hands up in the air because they don’t know what to do. They are not living it. I understand that they are busy, but I just know in my heart that there has to be a way to minimize symptoms. Getting covid was very scary for me, but I never would have tried paxlovid without covid. It kept me from getting really sick and also almost rid me of my RA like symptoms. I’m trying not to travel because I’m not strong right now, but I’m at the point of doing anything to find answers. I’m not sure if my rheumatologist will even entertain the idea. But I’ve connected with my other doctors. Looks like I need an immunologist??? Best and thanks. Lisa

Hi Radapanich,

A few more people have added to this thread in the last few days. I'm hoping to get updates from the early responders like you.

Did you start to take the daily Paxlovid? Good results?

Is your immunologist associated with a university or hospital? Many of us can't get doctors to prescribe the Paxlovid -- unless we have Covid now.

Thanks so much!
Anne
