Could antihistamines help relieve #LongCovid for some?

This is a small study but it's supported by real world evidence and needs further investigation.

"These cases were even brought to the attention of these researchers, primarily from the University of California, Irvine, through members of Survivor Corps, a long covid advocacy group hosted on Facebook."

"But near as they can tell, these are the first case reports in the literature to document the potential of antihistamines for patients with long covid, also known as postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2, or PASC."

A real life story about why we shouldn't get rid of the mask mandate:

1/
These kids played a HS basketball game last Friday. In NYC.

They were not allowed to shake hands after the game but were permitted to play with the masks under their chins.
The kid in the back left tested positive Saturday.

2 more tested positive on Sunday.

2 more Monday.

My friend's kid in the front left just tested positive this afternoon.

That's 6 from one team. So far. That we know of.

"One study showed that as many as 52% of teens and young adults between ages 16 and 30 may experience lingering symptoms 6 months after having COVID." @Salon
"Doctors and researchers are anticipating more #LongCovidKids cases stemming from the omicron variant, given the statistical magnitude of the spread, and the increase in pediatric infections."

"As I've talked to people who are experiencing this, there are some who just find no peace. Their bodies are no longer under their control and these symptoms are creating a living hell for them," - @hmkyale

"I've talked to maybe five or 10 people who have contemplated taking their lives because the symptoms are so severe."

"The idea for the paper originated with the harrowing experience of Heidi Ferrer, a television & film writer who "had severe manifestations of the sensations of vibrations" the authors wrote. She found the symptoms intolerable and died by suicide at 50 in May 2021."

Covid is also a neurological disease 🧠 Covid is also a neurological disease 🧠 Covid is also a neurological disease 🧠 Covid is also a neurological disease 🧠

Counting the neurological cost of COVID-19 | Nature Reviews Neurology nature.com/articles/s4158…
“By analysing data from 55 countries, they identified 41 neurological manifestations that can occur in conjunction with COVID-19.

Up to one-third of individuals with COVID-19 were estimated to exhibit at least one of these manifestations.”
“Without proper care and treatment, patients with these neurological manifestations might be permanently debilitated.

Moreover, the continuation of neurological symptoms in long COVID could overwhelm already fractured health-care systems.”

Champions like ⁦@NickGuthe will ensure that⁩ Covid cleans up the organ donation system like HIV for the blood industry.

“If a deceased donor may have had long Covid and tested negative for Covid, however, the organs would be taken, Dr. Kumar said: “If we start turning down everyone who has had Covid in the past, we’d be turning down a lot of organs.”
“Before she died, Ms. Ferrer chronicled her ordeal in meticulous notes left on her phone: “Covid toes” that made her feet so sore she could not walk. A tremor that made her body shake violently. Pain in every limb. Relentless insomnia and despair.”
