In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
as someone who has also been house bound due to LC
In context ↗ - At worst: Moderate
2 years ago, walking to the corner store would be the one thing I could do in a day, and I would need the rest of that day, and possibly the next, to recover.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
Now, I can walk to the that shop without crashing, and am able to go all the way to the pharmacy (about 1km total)! I can't do it often, but progress is progress!

Summary
Shore 33911 has long COVID; two years before March 2026, walking to the corner store was all they could do in a day and needed the rest of that day, plus possibly the next, to recover. Natto made no noticeable difference until they stopped it and felt worse, with more brain fog and shakiness; back on it their baseline slowly improved. By March 2026 they could walk 1km to the pharmacy without crashing, though not often.
