Drug Trials

As of writing, I am not aware of any FDA approved treatments for Long Covid. Typically symptoms are individually treated, as part of a COVID clinic, or, like I do, duct taped team of providers.

That said, I am aware of Scripps running a drug trial of a GLP-1 (there is a placebo group as well). The study was setup to be done at home, which is great for folks who are housebound, and there are a lot of them. More information may be found here: https://longcovid.scripps.edu

Reddit Groups

I don’t do notifications on my phone for many things, including reddit. I’ll disappear for weeks on occasion (for my sanity). These groups have been very supportive for the most part. Relating to others has been great, but sometimes it does get depressing.

Long Covid Warriors is one I wish I was more involved with. The moderator is an amazing, extremely intelligent person, as well as so many of the folks who engage in the sub.

Podcasts

This is one area I wish I knew of more, but also get how it’s a huge feat to undertake. Hell, writing this blog using GitHub, a content generator, and a CDN took me 7 months to do, and I am relatively functional these days 🤷‍♂️
