Summary
They caught COVID in May 2022 and had lingering long COVID symptoms that they were managing. A December 2022 reinfection brought a diminished sense of smell, severe ADHD and rib inflammation. Symptoms after a Thanksgiving gathering in November 2023 resolved by the next morning; they took L-lysine when viral symptoms seemed to return.
