In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I found an acupuncturist who treats college athletes who had LC ... So it helps if they treat post viral fatgue/ME/LC.
In context ↗ - Now: Somewhat better
It feels like I am turning a corner. And no PEM! :)
In context ↗ - Began after: COVID
Before that I went to one that didn't know anything about LC and it didnt do a thing.

Summary
A 64-year-old woman with long COVID or post-viral fatigue said acupuncture from a practitioner experienced with LC brought back some energy and helped brain fog, while an earlier acupuncturist did nothing. By August 2026 she was back at the gym once a week with a trainer after previously doing CrossFit, biking and hiking. In September 2026 she said she was turning a corner and had no PEM.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, in the order they describe; they don’t give enough times to place each step. Hover or tap a point. 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.
