Tried acupuncture, gut cleansing, or deep massages?

I just started acupuncture and Chinese herbs for long covid. Not much help at this point. Actually I feel so much worse after each acupuncture session. The doctor says this is normal because it shows changes taking place. However I am miserable for a good day and a half and when I start feeling better from the acupuncture I don’t really feel any better in terms of long covid symptoms. I’ll give it a little longer, but will find it hard to continue if I don’t see any progress.
