Summary

Fjord 40981 has long COVID and describes crashes and flares when overdoing activity, so they track steps and exercise monthly rather than weekly. A functional medicine doctor improved their health, though other functional doctors pushed costly MLM supplements. Long COVID has at times nearly brought back past suicidal thinking.
