Summary
A 27-year-old woman developed long COVID after a COVID-19 infection in 2021, with breathing and heart symptoms, a fainter sense of smell and fear of reinfection. A second infection in April 2022 revived numbness from an old nerve injury and brought depression that left her in bed crying. By late April 2022 she felt about 10% better and had gone outside, though the sinking feeling remained.
