Sudden severe insomnia after Covid

[Siobhan Newman, MD]

62 y/o male in good health already on CJC/Ipa for years  as well as TA1 and TB4 who contracted Covid. Symptoms started about 21 days ago, mostly upper respiratory associated with severe fatigue and myalgias.  We increased his TA1 to high dose, started Ketone Esters, Zinc, Vit. C, Zpak and Ivermectin. He used a small amount of phenergan with codeine 10 ml 4-5 times at night for cough.  Just before Covid symptoms he had just started his first 10 day course of Epitalon. We decided to go ahead and finish the course. He was already a poor sleeper with very little deep sleep and no help from DISP. We were hoping Epitalon would help with sleep issues. Other Prescriptions include Niacin, Spermidine, Testosterone, DHEA, Vit D3, Melatonin and supplements.

In the last 3 nights he has not slept more than 2 hours a night. The first night he was having new onset panic attacks but he has been able to manage that. He doubled his DHHB ( 2 tablets) at night and already takes L-Theanine and Melatonin.

Help!  I have been trying to locate PE 22-28 nasal spray without success.  I looked at Wells and they don’t list it. I also emailed Linda at Pure but she has informed me already that she can’t ship to California (she hasn’t yet responded about the PE 22-28).  Any suggestions to get this?

Please give my any other suggestions to reset his clock…Did we mess something up be giving Epitalon while the immune system fought off the Covid virus???

I am not sure that this will work for everyone, but in more than a handful of our patients who ended up with persistent nausea and insomnia after CoVid… we have seen success correcting this with the homeopathic Gelsemium sempervirens (either 6c or 30c).

It usually takes more than a single dose for lasting relief.  We sometimes see worsening sleep X 1 night, and then about 2 days later, relief.  It often responds very well, but symptoms return after using only a single dose.  We usually try it once, and if it works well….then we have them try 5 tablets 2 times daily for 3-5 days and then PRN.  Symptoms seem to come back periodically (maybe weekly), and again respond to the homeopathic for another few weeks… and then gone.

I cannot promise it would also work for your patient, BUT….  safe and inexpensive.

Hope this helps,

Cynthia
