Summary
Hill 83826 developed long COVID with palpitations when standing or lying down, brain fog, fatigue, cramps and a rash. Trying their usual weights and cardio made them feel awful at first, but consistent daily gym exercise left them much better. They tried low-dose aspirin and resveratrol, which made them nauseous and increased palpitations; high-dose natto caused fatigue and nausea. They described feeling much better after consistent exercise, but their last post was about natto-related fatigue and nausea.

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.
