Doctors are prescribing low-dose naltrexone to treat the mysterious disease, even as studies into its efficacy continue.
In the meantime, researchers will continue to learn from the experience of people living with Long Covid taking LDN, including Jennifer Dornan-Fish, a California-based professor and. Following a mild initial Covid-19 infection in March 2020, Dornan-Fish’s health declined drastically over a period of several months, as they developed everything from rashes, vertigo, and a heart condition, to tremors, seizures, and severe brain fog.
“I felt an almost immediate boost in energy and clarity, followed by a more subtle but sustained shift in my overall energy levels,” Dornan-Fish says. “When I started LDN, I was functioning at about 30 percent [of] my pre-Long Covid capacity. I could barely walk down the stairs, had to sit in the shower, and couldn’t cook a meal or talk on the phone for more than two or three minutes. Since starting LDN, I’m at about 65 percent, which is a massive improvement.
“LDN has changed my life in a dramatic way, and I’m thankful that I have decent insurance and access to the right medical care,” they say. “If I didn’t have a partner willing and able to support me while I was bedbound, I would beand destitute. I worry about all the Americans that don’t have access to good healthcare and I know many people are suffering without treatment or support.”
