Antihistamines show promise in treating long Covid-19 symptoms

Case study, by nurses, n=2, both middle aged women

However large effect size, using relatively safe otc meds

Very vulnerable to placebo effects, random chance, or comorbid with other issues

I see a downvote occured - use of curcumin is not without precedent and some reasonable possibility, plus it is hard to find any serious evidence of harm caused by taking it.

Seems more likely than the antihistamine story, based on stats.

Don't know if it would help, but Curcumin (tumeric extract with a pepper extract to potentiate it) is a near magic anti-inflammatory.

It's totally over the counter and without side effects afaik.

I have dozens of stories about it, just one is guy I worked with was taking Voltaren 2-3 times a day for his shoulder, hadn't played golf for two years. I gave him some and he played golf the next day.

He then went for holidays to UK where his sister and her husband are both doctors and they were taking it prophylactically against early onset Alzheimer's.

It has to have the pepper extract with it to be effective, if you have a sprain or similar it acts in 1-3 hours.

Could be helpful for long covid, chances of harm very low.

Still get covid headaches 8 months post infection, definitely gonna try this.
