Summary
A person with long COVID, four years in, reported in April 2025 being 'on the way up', crediting a mixture of supplements: nattokinase, omega-3, vitamin D, NAC and coenzyme, plus avoiding coffee and alcohol. Gym work was slow and the journey not linear, but improvements were visible. Little was said about how ill they had been.

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 chart starts 4 years after onset: the story doesn’t say how ill they were before that. 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.
