Summary
Ivermectin as a 1% topical cream, applied in increasing amounts up to three times daily, was used after about four years of severe long COVID following a 2022 Delta infection. Baseline symptoms included crushing fatigue, exertional breathlessness, chest pain and recurrent infections that had only partially eased over the preceding years. Within about two weeks of consistent application she reported regaining all of her energy. She states the effect only holds as long as she remembers to apply the ivermectin, so this is an ongoing maintenance therapy rather than a lasting cure, and stopping the cream is implied to bring symptoms back.
Symptoms mentioned
Symptoms: Breathlessness, Heart symptoms & palpitations, Pain & fibromyalgia.
