Omega_Scribet (has moved)If you have Long Covid or ME/CFS and have trouble tolerating light, perhaps a near infrared lamp is an idea? One that can turn off the red light, which is visible.
Near infrared light is invisible. But can be very beneficial. See the above mentioned, impressive YouTube video, and also this equally impressive lecture:

But of course, do search the internet for more information on this topic.

I noticed cuts heal very fast. The speaker also elaborates about wounds.
I use the panel every morning, 10 minutes on the back and 10 min. on the front.
Long Covid caused very painful muscle cramps in my back, arm, neck and hip. Each time lasting several days to a week, once even four weeks! Nothing seemed to help.
But since August: no more cramps!
I'll toot about some other interesting videos regarding Long Covid and near-infrared (NIR) soon.
Most spike mats are for the back.
The one I bought is for the feet only. Plastic spikes.
(I'd rather have a mat with copper, iron, nickel, silver + zinc spikes, but since I'm allergic to nickel I didn't dare buy it.)

First time, 10 min with socks on: painful.
After a few times I could tolerate it better. Now: 30 min without socks.
Result after 3 weeks: nil.
But n=1.
Perhaps spike mats may help others.

Spike mat aka acupressure mat aka shakti mat.
Benefits reported by some:
Improved sleep, reduced headaches, loosened muscles, and reduced pain.
"The mat stimulates pressure points near meridians, meaning that tensions and energy can flow freely.โ
Covid affected my nerves. I got inner vibrations (tremors) in my lower legs/feet and shooting neuralgia across my head and face - among other things.
So I bought a Swedish spike mat.

@Rhyothemis Yup. Tried riboflavin-5-phosphate, 400 mg (4x 100 mg a day), for my migraines, to strengthen the immune system, and to help against the internal vibrations in my lower legs and painful feet (building up the myelin sheath). I got all of these symptoms after a Covid infection (#LongCovid ).
Did not help me AFAIK. But I tried it after reading it helped others as a migraine preventative.
@peopletrees CBD oil (RAW), and THC oil, because of the affected nerves and nerve pain. Enhances sleep as well. ๐
I am getting B12 injections because of long time B12 deficiency, but have upped them after getting infected with Covid and noticing I got many of the same B12-deficiency symptoms once more.
Those are the things that helped me most.
I completely forgot about flushing niacin, thanks for mentioning it. I'll try it one of these days. ๐
