A 25-year-old woman who has been suffering from long COVID for three years. Lily first tested positive for COVID-19 on March 24, 2020. Her flu-like symptoms went away after three weeks, but her shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and an increased heart rate (lasting over eight months) meant she couldn’t walk more than 15 minutes without feeling exhausted.
In 2022, the University of British Columbia launched a study to determine if low-dose naltrexone reduces fatigue and improves COVID-related symptoms. Overall, the study found that low-dose naltrexone is safe and it may help to reduce pain and inflammation, improving well-being and immune function.
After all other treatment options failed, Lily started taking a low-dose naltrexone. Reflecting on the last three years, Lily says it has been a process of rediscovering herself.
