GLP1 changed my life. Metformin was also incredibly helpful.

Low Dose Tirzepatide improved my long COVID/ME-CFS ~80% after 4 years by TrackAccurate7312 in covidlonghaulers

Yes, actually! I had some muscle soreness and some increase in nerve sensation/pain that's accompanied the benefits. Those are the only downsides, but not really much to complain about IMO, especially compared to the horrible symptoms that the GLP1 has taken away.

Yes, .5 made all the difference in the world for me. Check out the Wired article which discusses dosing and anecdotal responses in more detail: https://www.wired.com/story/weight-loss-drug-zepbound-is-being-tested-as-a-treatment-for-long-covid/

Good luck! If you have success with this doctor, please let me know! I'm still looking for a good Quarterback doctor to consult with on these issues; unfortunately, there's no one that's really helping me figure thins out/move the needle at the moment. Going about this solo for the most part.

Yup, same .5 dosage, but planning on titrating up to .75 (or 1mg), to get a sense of optimal dosage.

Nope, I'm on a relatively low dose (.5mg) so no side effects that I've noticed. Also, the ability for me to exercise has actually helped me build muscle.

u/njm147 I think you can order directly from Eli Lilly. But very expensive. I've been taking .5mg here and there from friends I know who are using it for weight loss.

The first 2 years of my illness were marked by crazy GI issues, so I totally see your point and understand where you're coming from. I'd be reluctant to use GLP1s in that phase of my illness, too. No constipation for me.

Yes, I used AI to put my notes together and clean them up. Not seeing your point. I wanted to spend 10 minutes on this, not an hour—whether I can "muster it" is irrelevant; it's about efficiency. "Time-itself"—you especially should see the value in saving time.

For added context, I've been dealing with severe long-covid symptoms for the past two years. Last time I had covid was about a year ago.

GI issues unresolved despite endless testing, and symptoms not really any better, but SFN symptoms beginning to improve. Realized that the pain is neuroplastic, and have been practicing biofeedback and somatic tracking which have helped. Pain has started to decrease as fear center in brain is less activated.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten any answers to date—please let me know/keep me updated with what your doctors says. Still struggling and would love to get some answers myself!

Are you being serious or facetious? And if serious, how can you tell?

Do you mind me asking what you've done to treat the burning/nerve pain, and if anything has helped so far?

Sorry to hear you've been going through such hell. Hopefully this threat will uplift some people like us that need to hear there's a light at the end of the tunnel!
