Summary
A Reddit user in r/covidlonghaulers who caught COVID-19 in March 2020. They were severely ill, needing repeated ER visits for breathlessness that breathing treatments did not fix, and were so fatigued they could barely reach the bathroom; eosinophilic asthma complicated the illness. They said it took them months to recover, and later commented that something of theirs went away about a week after getting over COVID.
