'Currently, there is no cure for, only symptom management. They are desperately searching for something to help them get back on their feet,' said report author, Melissa Pinto, pictured 'The possibility that an easy-to-access, over-the-counter medication could ease some of the symptoms should offer hope to the estimated 54 million people worldwide who have been in distress for months or even years.' 'Patients tell us they wish more than anything that they could work and do the most basic activities they used to before they got sick with long COVID. They are desperately searching for something to help them get back on their feet,' said report author, Melissa Pinto, associate professor of nursing at UC Irvine to UCI News.
The second woman also found that she significantly reduced her additional long COVID-19 symptoms regaining 95 percent of her overall functioning, prior to contracting the illness.īoth cases were examined by nursing scholars at the University of California, Irvine with the findings published in the Journal for Nurse Practitioners. She also continued to take it daily together with other allergy medicine. She noticed that her long COVID-19 fatigue and overall cognition had improved. In the second case, the woman took a different over-the-counter antihistamine as a substitute for what she had taken for years to manage her seasonal allergies. The evidence is anecdotal but similar positive results taking antihistamines have been found in earlier studies Nine months later, she is said to be still doing well. She ultimately reported she had regained 90 percent of her pre-COVID-19 daily function. Her doctor then prescribed a daily antihistamine dosage that significantly reduced her long COVID-19 symptoms. The woman did not take another antihistamine for 72 hours when her symptoms reappeared, she took the medication and again found relief. In the first case, after accidentally eating some cheese about six months into having long COVID she took a 50 mg pill of the antihistamine diphenhydramine, and suddenly noticed her fatigue had virtually disappeared.
In the first instance, the woman with long COVID-19 was unable to do exercise and would suffer from chest pain, headaches, a rash and bruising, while the second had to deal with joint and abdominal pain, as well as the rashes and lesions known as 'COVID toes.' She is believed to have been one of the first people in the United States to fall ill with COVID. The first woman, a healthcare worker in her 40s, triggered a dairy allergy by eating cheese, and the second woman had run out of the allergy medication she usually took, and experienced improved cognition and far less fatigue the following morning. Two patients with long COVID in California, one who was a healthcare worker have almost completely alleviated their symptoms by taking daily antihistamines
