Hi everyone, I haven’t been on the boards in awhile I was doing good and even able to go back to work which was keeping me very busy but a few weeks ago I caught covid. Since then I have been feeling awful, my cold symptoms are over but I have been getting migraines, sleep paralysis and worsening derealization. Is there anything I can do to help with these symptoms? I am thinking it’s brain inflammation. I hope everyone is doing good! Thanks for your help.

may be worth looking into Dr Patterson and his long covid test and long covid protocols

i have been skimming a lot of the research on long covid since the start of the pandemic as it has so many similarities to chronic lyme - and i have friends affected with it.

Patterson seems to be the nearest to understanding what us going on and useful treatments from my read on it

Thank you Garzie! I will look him up right now.

Speculation, but I'd venture to say that the same lifestyle strategies to attempt to control chronic Lyme might be useful for long COVID. I'm especially thinking about the inflammation piece.

That is smart thinking, thank you Lymie!

Sorry to hear you got Covid when you were doing so well.

Hope things turn around for you quickly!

Thank you so much lymie and girlie! I am feeling a little better today. I did notice that I have a small cold sore, I have had hsv1 for years but have not had a flare up in a very long time. I am thinking that covid flared up all of the other viruses and bacteria in my body that were dormant. I’m sure my body is a big cytokin storm right now, any ideas on what to do to help with that? Thanks so much again!

If you have herbs, Chinese skullcap is good for cytokine storms.

MCAS treatments should be helpful - H1 and H2 blockers (ex - Zyrtec or Claritin, Famitidine), Vit C, Quercetin, luteolin. Specialized supplements like NeuroProtek, AllerDHQ. Drugs like Cromolyn sodium.

High dose EPA/DHA (fish oil) or SPM Active by Metagenics (6 capsules once a day).
