My docs meant that my whole CNS (including vagus nerve) is highly inflamed due to covid. First studies show that this is the reason for many neurological symptoms. I have developed severe pots too and take several meds for it, obviously check with your doc, but it's a pretty common combination. Also for pots, as it's also connected to autonomic dysfunctioning. I would startreally low, like 0,5 mg, and try different day times. I started with 1,5mg and the first two weeks were hell, I had insomnia and insane migraines, but then I changed to mornings and then I only had some more headaches for some more weeks and now I don't have any side effects, as long as I take it in the morning. But my cognitive function and neurological health keeps improving.. I would do my own research and try different things, as everyone reacts pretty different to LDN. And I wanted to skip it several times but I'm really happy I stayed with it.

Wish you good luck

It's all connected, the CNS gets damaged by covid, especially the microglia are overactive and keeping the neuroinflammation up. The vagus nerve is one part of the CNS and therefore inflammed too. The LDN lowers the activation of microglia and neuroinflammation. Furthermore it slows auto-immune actions and improves neurotransmitters. It helped me a lot. Most helpful for my Vagus nerve was the stellatum ganglion blockage. I seizured and fainted in the beginning when I tried breathing exercises. Then I got an oximeter (most long COVID patients have chronic hyperventilation) and just tried to get the oxygen level down by concentrating on breathing out longer than inhaling. There is no need for special exercises, breathing out longer already has a positive effect. I also got the polar H10 and the autonom health app, it measures your HRV and gives direct feedback of the state of how Parasympathicus and sympathicus work together.

Yes, but many long COVID patients have dysfunctioning neurotransmitter adapters and are more likely to get it.. that's why it makes sense to mention it

True, thx, I always forget then because I don't take them .. just be careful, as some have serotonin problems and are more likely to develope serotonin syndrome. Which isn't fun

LDN and a stellate ganglion blockage brought me my taste and smell back after more than a year without it. The microglia are overactive and therefore pro inflammatory of the CNS. Both things can lower it and seriously saved me.

All CNS calming activities, breathing exercises, gentle! Movement, meditation, Vagus nerve exercises can help too.- that's actual science, with those keywords you can Google for the papers..

Everything anti inflammatory helps too. Preventing blood sugar spikes, pro and prebiotics for gut health (biiig part of the whole system). Histamine free diet and antihistamines

Bosweliac acid (2g a day), high vit C, Sanopal forte

I said that I already take everything anti inflammatory available..

I said that I already take everything anti inflammatory available..

I obviously do this already....

Thx for meaning well, but I'm on probiotics, prebiotics and only pro positive gut microbia and anti inflammatory food. I got severely disabled through covid, due to developing an autoimmune disorder. As long as those stupid auto antibodies are destroying my body, I won't be able to get rid of ibd. That's exactly the problem I meant, so many think that you just don't eat right, do the right things.. when there is the possibility of auto-antibodies inflamming your gut ..

Lived super healthy, got covid, developed IBD, eat insanely healthy, meds ... And I'm still stuck with this stupid thing. There's also an auto immune response that just can't be ignored

It's mainly brain damage, the risk for developing neurodegenerative disorders or autoimmune disorders rises. First studies expect a significant rise of neurodegenerative disorders in the next decades as a result of this

Plus pectin and psyllium husk are superb prebiotics
