    I gained the superpower of crippling anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I had very mild anxiety prior to Covid, but something broke in my brain after I got sick.

    I am anxious and yet constantly tired. I can barely function before noon and can’t shut my brain off to sleep.

    I hat every fucking person on Earth who said it was bs.

      I’ve been feeling the same way. Some days I’ve felt better, but I don’t really get back to where I was. It feels like my discipline has broken down.

      You sound a little like me.

      Give liposomal C plus L-Arginine a try.

      There’s been some studies showing it helps with long COVID.

      I feel a little improvement. Not great. Some.

        You might as well recommend some healing crystals or magnetic wristbands.

        @Gerudo@lemm.ee should speak to a doctor about possible treatments and not take random unproven advice from the internet.

          So, an innocuous supplement treatment, with multiple legitimate studies is the same as healing crystals? Got it.

          Not everything in the world is horse parasite quackery.

          My doctor did review the studies and agreed it was worth trying given the lack of known long COVID treatments.

            an innocuous supplement treatment

            Healing crystals are an innocuous treatment that have been involved in multiple studies also, so yes.

            Let’s not dwell on the outcome or legitimacy of those studies at all, for either treatment.

            Your doctor did a review? Such a nice claim to authority there with zero evidence. It is nice that everything and everyone on the internet can be trusted.

            I stand by my statement. Anyone suffering medical issues should seek help from a medical professional and ignore random internet advice.
