Chris Lyons+FollowOpioid Drug Shows Promise for Long COVIDA drug usually used for opioid addiction—low-dose naltrexone—might be a game-changer for Long COVID.

This could mean better immune response, less pain, and improved brain function for millions still struggling with symptoms. Clinical trials are underway, but this could be the breakthrough so many have been waiting for! #LongCOVID #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #Naltrexone #ScienceUpdate #Health6395Share

If you’re under 65 and healthy, your next booster might not be a sure thing! #COVID19 #FDA #VaccineUpdate #PublicHealth #HealthNews #Health125Share
