Summary
Infected in late March 2020, this Reddit user developed long COVID with severe anxiety, chest pain, dizziness, vertigo, pins and needles, leg weakness and exercise intolerance, plus visual snow from about seven months in. Vitamins, supplements and diet did nothing; only time helped. By spring 2021 they felt about 75% of themselves, though visual symptoms persisted and a new one was reported in May 2021.
