Since this summer I'm having long Covid. My symptoms are mainly extreme exhaustion after extended focus (more than 50-60 min) or continuous exercise (walking more than 10-15 min) and exercise induced arrhythmia (pulse over 160 bpm and I barely feel any tiredness or am out of breath. Before Covid almost never above 145 bpm and then I was really exhausted having so high pulse). Heart & blood tests are normal. I was born in the late 60's.
I've tried about 20 supplements and similar amount of Chinese herbs. Only effect is that my vague heart pain has disappeared. Stimulant/dopaminergics mostly have lost their euphoria inducing effect and depressive symptoms have arised. My best guess is that long Covid is a chronic inflammation and research has shown that the virus can hide in the body for years, affecting mitochondrions ability to produce enough energy, and among other things affecting dopamine neurons ability to make dopamine. I'm now trying autophargy diet with fasting that seems to help quite a few. Pacing of course is of outmost importance to get better.
Psychedelics do gives me some temporary relief (used 2C-B, DOM & LSD) as well as Ketamine. I've read some odd reports claiming that in one case ibogaine cured someones long Covid and in another case that MDMA combined with psilocybin cured them. Most psychedelics and many antidepressants do have an anti-inflammatory effect, which may explain the effect. Even though stress ECG and stress echocardiogram didn't find any problems with my heart, I'm a bit reluctant to take booth ibogaine and MDMA because of their cardio toxicity and my arrhythmia (but I do have booth MDMA, Liberty Caps & iboga bark at home). I may try microdosing iboga over Christmas if not better by then.
Does anyone here have positive/curative experiences of long covid using illicit drugs? If so, please share.
