At 84 I’m not exactly fleet on my feet, but no fatigue, mental or physical. I manage to do a good bit of walking. Several years ago I had three of the Moderna shots, so no COVID, thankfully. I hope things clear up for you, mrvmax. Serious about crackers. | |||

Isn’t nicotine highly addictive?? Seems like you’d be trading one issue for another. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you! | |||

I heard about nicotine but was thinking the same thing. At this point I will put it on the bottom of the list of things to try. Thanks everyone for the input. | |||

Mono, is exactly where my mind went. I was about useless for 4 months laboring jobs were strictly out. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Nope, I ALWAYS get my Covid Booster and have never had Covid. Fellow I shoot Skeet with fell for the Anti Vaccination myth and has had Covid 3 times and the last one turned into Long Covid. That took him 18 months before he got to feeling sort of normal and had most of his sense of taste back. He does claim that he cannot smell farts anymore but with his sense of humor I do not know if that is true. There are days when he is an encyclopedia of Fart Jokes. Typically on station 6, the most back stabbing station in Skeet. I've stopped counting. | |||

This is very interesting and I’d never heard of it! As a longtime previous smoker (I quit decades ago, but I also smoked for years) I might be hesitant to try, but by gosh, if I hadn’t already smoked I wouldn’t be worried about a few days of nicotine. It’s not just the drug itself that’s addictive. It’s part of the process of the habit - whether it be putting the cigarette to your lips or putting a dip in. Question is: is it the jangle that the nicotine gives you that brings you back up to speed or the receptor swap? I’ll have to look this information up. Thanks for the info. __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||

Low Dose Naltrexone, LDN, apparently shows positive results in smoking cessation. Perhaps it is another possible spike receptor disruptor? LDN is Rx, which imho tilts towards nicotine unless there's a reason to avoid nicotene. | |||

My wife had long covid first time around. This was complicated by extreme brain fog and fatigue. We thought she had early Alzheimer's or somethign, she was 44 then. Long story short, donating blood reduced her symptoms by 80% within 48 hours. Donated about a month later and she was 95% cured with no side effects. Any follow up docs assumed that the blood reduction reduced the amount of virus in her body and then she was able to "beat" what was left. It was astonishingly effective so I see little downside to trying it. Just do it when you have a driver and can go home and rest to build back up the blood in your system. __________________________ | |||

^^^^ I would’ve guessed that a person with Covid wouldn’t be accepted as a blood donor. Serious about crackers. | |||

Something I never heard of but makes sense and it is worth trying, thanks. Edited to add: It worked out well, my employer was having a blood drive today so I donated. Having long covid was not on the list of reasons why they do not take blood. I will see if this does any good, if so, I will give again the next time they’re here.This message has been edited.

^^^^^ Donating blood reduces long COVID symptoms? That implies that something in your blood is the source of those symptoms. Yet having long COVID doesn’t prohibit blood donation? Hm… Serious about crackers. | |||
