Summary
A man fell ill with long COVID on 1 February 2022, after his father and two brothers were infected. He felt awful daily with new symptoms, months of night waking and two weeks of palpitations, and a doctor put the illness down to anxiety. By late July 2022 he called himself 90% recovered, with odd symptoms still coming and going, and in October an anti-inflammatory diet and fasting eased most of what lingered.
