Summary
A 33-year-old man developed long COVID after a mild infection in late November 2020, with fatigue, a dry cough, a racing heart and breathing problems that worsened in January with brain fog and trouble eating. After moving from his mother's house back to his city apartment, he says his symptoms fell by half within a day and improved daily. Two weeks later he felt almost normal, though he worried about relapsing.
