In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I was so happy when I got the positive antibody test back since it would point more toward covid + post covid rather than ME/CFS
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
exercised 5x/week for over 10 years but now have not trained for 3 months
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
Up until today (24th of Jan) I would say I have gradually improved in a non-linear way.
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
I went and took an antibody test to find out whether I might have had covid when this started.

Summary
A 31-year-old man who had exercised five times a week fell ill around 1 November 2023 with three weeks of light headache and fatigue, then a first dizzy spell, and had not trained for three months. Blood tests, a brain MRI and a lumbar puncture came back normal; a strong positive antibody test suggested a COVID-19 infection rather than ME/CFS, though it could not confirm a recent infection. By 24 January 2024 he reported gradual, non-linear improvement.
