Summary
A Reddit user in Europe caught COVID-19 in 2020, was hypoxic and coughed blood, then struggled for a year before recovering fully. A second infection brought long COVID that lasted about 6-7 months before clearing. A third infection left brain fog, tiredness, sore throat and crashes; five months in, they expected it to clear as before, though this recovery, with supplements and medications, was slower.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The dashed part: the story doesn’t say when. 1 step says too little to place on the scale and is only in the table. Dates are when they posted. What the levels mean.
