In their words
- Condition: Long COVID
I’ve had long covid for 6 years now.
In context ↗ - At worst: Moderate
Pre-pandemic, I was a full time opera singer and voice teacher, which l can’t really do anymore with my symptoms.
In context ↗ - Now: Much better
It doesn’t take away all my symptoms, but it does mean I feel like I can think again, have any amount of energy to move around, and can breathe.

Summary
Dusk 41614 has had long COVID for six years, since around 2020, and can no longer work as a full-time opera singer and voice teacher. About a year before April 2026 they started Wegovy, which they credited with easing brain fog, air hunger and fatigue enough to think, move around and breathe. Some symptoms remained and they still could not return to their profession.

Their path
How ill they were on the ME/CFS severity scale, estimated from what they describe at each point, with time counted from when the illness began. Hover or tap a point. The first step with a time is 5 years after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. The dashed part: the story doesn’t say when. 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.
