Summary

Stacia Fadden had extreme fatigue and brain fog from February 2021 and could barely take another step after a normal workday. After three acupuncture treatments she was no longer run down every day by spring, and she later added quercetin, zinc and vitamin C for slow taste recovery. Smell returned by day 10 and taste is still improving, and she says she has felt pretty invincible since vaccination in April.
