Summary
They fell ill in March 2020 and spent months with brain fog and exhaustion. Hyperbaric oxygen brought marked improvement after three sessions, and they were going back for more. Steroids helped while they were taking them, but about a week after stopping they felt a relapse and were disappointed. That relapse was the last state they described.
