That throwing random shit at the wall really sticks with me ATM, currently trialing my 3rd expirimental med for an upcoming clinic and it's all just medication somebody received for other purposes that also seemed to have a positive effect on their longcovid symptoms.
So far none have been satisfactory but hey we keep trying.
I tried that until some treatments my doctor prescribed permanently worsened my condition.
I don’t know why we’re in such an expirmental treatment mindset around long COVID but it certainly fucked up my health real bad.
I’m fucking tubefed now.
Ah that sucks to hear, in my case it was 2 years of doctors recommending to keep pushing my boundaries which let to it worsening severely, sadly had to drop out of uni in my final year.
Until I got one of our countries leading experts who is now using me as a guinea pig so to speak. Expirimental meds did worsen some parts of it, but luckily that faded each time I stopped taking them.
Currently praying I don't get male lactation and man boob growth which is one of the possible side effects of the current test XD
