I've been dealing with a few long COVID patients so have been doing some reading and listening to various trials that are still underway in the USA. Feel free to share any additional information you find as this is a new problem and the traditional approach is to treat the various symptoms and not really fix the underlying vascular inflammatory process that appears to be behind it all.
Dr Patterson is using a combination of a statin, anit-retroviral, acyclovir, and even gout medication to stop the inflammatory cascade. He also has a nice panel of inflammatory markers to help guide treatment.
This virtual rounds is a great discussion of the micro-clotting theory and treatment. They are using a combination of aspirin + Plavix +Eliquis to stop the small blood clots that seem to happen in long COVID patients. More dangerous drugs but exciting early results.

I encourage my fellow physicians to watch and listen. These are not some crockpot docs doing crazy stuff. There is growing evidence that we are not treating Long Covid appropriately.
