@summerof42 When we are desperate, we will reach out for any help - I know because I have been there.
So, wanting to know what to say to you about this product which is unfamiliar to me, I went reading, looking for any scientific studies about Endourage Formula C.
Here is what I learned - there have been 2 small studies using it. People from the company were involved (doesn't disqualify the info, just makes me more cautious.) Be wary when studies cite major medical centers - it may merely mean some of the patients were recruited there. Places like Mayo Clinic and Mount Sinai never endorse commercial products.
Endourage may be the MOST expensive CBD/Hemp flower preparation I have ever heard of $169.95 per bottle!
What you may want to look at other studies of CBD oil use in Long Covid - there are a lot of them, but I can't immediately cite any that fit your symptoms.
Good luck finding answers on this unwelcome journey - I understand because my daughter is still experiencing some symptoms after being severely infect in early 2020.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for chiming in with your valuable input! To be honest, NO, I don't trust this doctor who's with Ascension Hospital in Franklin, WI, especially now, after I also researched the CBD. No real contact info and when I input their address it shows a dump-type strip mall! This doctor claimed to be a pro in working with LT Covid patients, but truly has provided no help, other than to say, take Amitriptyline. When I told him because of my age (68 yrs now) I am concerned about this drug because many medical documents reiterate the dangers in prescribing for anyone over 60 yrs, fainting, etc and my bones are so fragile and he just brushed it off and wouldn't discuss.
I now NEED to be on LT Disability which I have coverage for at work through private insurance, but he refused to fill out the paperwork correctly and tells me I need to pursue PT, physc eval, etc. I can't even leave my house I'm in such pain and can no longer drive. All he needs to do is write in my current state of health, unable to thrive as an adult, my symptoms and unable to work, but he won't do it. I have blister-like painful rashes, skin turns bright pink all day followed my nerve pain, ear pain tinnitus, etc.
I have now become so debilitating with over 40+ symptoms and unable to function and in such excruciating pain everywhere. New symptoms rear their ugly head every month since I first became ill with Covid in '20. It's ravishing my body! All because of no medical support, which includes going to Mayo where I saw an Internal MD, who basically offered a trial Rx, made me feel worse and I tried to reach out to him and he refuses to call me.
I'm alone and scared and slowly passing and now weigh in at 83 lbs from 127 lbs. My newest symptoms are 3 very painful chronic eye conditions. My eyes feel like needles are stabbing them, very red burning and drainage and I can no longer drive. Even as I type, my eyes are burning! In addition, I developed the terrible internal trembling, spasms in my chest and stomach which is unbearable 24/7, especially immediately upon awakening int the morning.
I so alone and scared. I pray every day My Dearest Lord hears me and helps me.
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter and can relate and so glad she has your support. I have no one and have seen so many specialists and no one can help me. Neuro said I now test for an immune disorder, try Gabapentin which made things worse! Gastro said I have the spams and try Amitriptyline.
