Make sure to consult a doctor before doing self treatment.

Nearly everything in the comments is at the early stage of research. Be careful being your own doctor

Some posters asked me to make a sticky threat on long COVID recovery, including medication, supplements and behavioural changes. Thoughts y’all? Is this a good idea? If the response is positive, I can make this a sticky.

I’m afraid that it possibly could link to unproven recommendations, but frankly I haven’t looked enough into the issue.

Feel free to comment on any method on long COVID recover that you know. Please link to research and medical papers. Sadly overly weak or pseudo-scientific stuff will have to get removed, but please no hard feelings for making an effort. I’m very comfortable with Wikipedia’s policy on medical sources, so I might err in that direction if it’s OK. I’m definitely not working in medicine, btw.

Thanks!

edit: I just worry that a lot of this below is early stage research. I know that comrades are suffering, but we could be doing real damage if people go out and do self treatment, they can very seriously hurt themselves worst. I’m sorry that medical stuff is hard, expensive, and unfair. But I have a duty to inform people to be careful with self treatment.

    I appreciate all the helpful comments. I can’t stress enough that everything posted so far is in the early stages of research. They haven’t done any large trials nor have they looked at side effects and interactions with other drugs. I highly recommend that users don’t yet do any of the treatments below, especially without consulting a doctor. I don’t want the death of a Hexbearian on my conscious.
